Tadpoles is the third album by the Bonzo Dog Band. It is largely a compilation of their work from the television show Do Not Adjust Your Set, on which they were the house band. The original U.S. album had a slightly different track list than the U.K. version. The U.S. version removed "I'm the Urban Spaceman" and added the b-side Readymades. In 2007 the album was re-issued by EMI with 5 bonus tracks.

Seven holes cut out of the front cover,and multiple images printed on an insert card (or inner sleeve of the US version) helped listeners to visualize what band members were thinking by moving the card back & forth.
