McIntyre, Treadmore and Davitt was released in 1991 by British rock band
Half Man Half Biscuit as their third original album (their preceding album having been a compilation). It was the first album released after the band had reformed in 1990.
The title and album sleeve picture are both taken from a Ripping Yarns episode entitled "Golden Gordon".[4]
Critical reception
Stewart Mason,
AllMusic: "[E]ven though the songs are both slower and longer, that cosmetic change only gave singer/songwriter Nigel Blackwell a broader canvas for his increasingly complex, multi-layered lyrics."[1]
Danny Scott,
Select: "Once wicked wits of the North, HMHB have become rock's sad, old game-show hosts – same suit, same kitsch catchphrase. Only 'Prag Vec At The Melt Vet [sic]' and Christian Rock Concert' show the bristling sarcasm of yore."[3]
