The Instant Monty Python CD Collection is a box set released in 1994 of six CDs containing eight albums by the Monty Python troupe.

It contained a small booklet of reprinted material from album sleeves and previous Python books, but the track layout assigning each album side to a single track frustrated fans. The set also did not contain a proper track listing of the albums, making it difficult to find certain sketches in the collection.

Track listing

The following is a listing of all the original track titles for each album included in this compilation, with notations in parentheses explaining which disc and track comprise each album side, and the time within each track where the individual titles can be found. This should help to alleviate the difficulty in finding specific sketches.
