All Good Clean Fun – A Journey through the Underground of Liberty United Artists Records 1969–1975 was released by EMI (Liberty 8660902) in 2004. This is a triple CD with 39 tracks from 25 artists although many of the artists are inter-related (The Bonzo’s, Roger Ruskin Spear and Neil Innes: Hawkwind, Motörhead and Robert Calvert: Man, Deke Leonard, Clive John and The Neutrons). As with other EMI sampler re-issues, such as A Breath of Fresh Air, the CD release borrows the original title, albeit adding a long subtitle, and uses a variation on the cover art, but incorporates fewer than half the tracks included on the original album. These tracks are augmented by other artists and additional tracks from some of the original artists, so this is a retrospective compilation
