the film was financed by eight investors - Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson, Holy Grail co-producer Michael White, Heartaches (a cricket team founded by lyricist Tim Rice), and 3 record companies including Charisma Records, the record label that released Python's early comedy albums.[10] The investors contributed the entire original budget of £175,350 (about $410,000 in 1974).
