The Rutles (Limited Vinyl Replica Sleeve)

The Rutles

£7.99

Description:
Rhino UK are virtually tripping over themselves to present Dirk, Barry, Stig and Nasty: the one and only 'Pre-fab Four'. Originally broadcast as a sketch on “Rutland Weekend TV” in 1978, ex-Monty Python member Eric Idle's satire of the Beatles' legend was one of the very few successful rock parodies; only Spinal Tap, perhaps, has outdone it. One of the key elements of this mock-rockumentary was the brilliantly executed soundtrack by Python associate and ex-Bonzo Dog Band member Neil Innes (he also played the character loosely based upon John Lennon in the film itself) as well as the knowing in-jokes that 'pepper' the film. As an actual peer of the group in the '60s (the Bonzos even appeared in the Magical Mystery Tour film), Innes was well-qualified to satirize the Fab Four in song. With the exception of Idle, each of the four Rutles played their own instruments on the recording in addition to acting in the film. Rhino’s 20 track compilation available in the UK for the first time includes 4 tracks that didn’t appear on the original Warner Brothers LP, and is housed in a vinyl replica card gatefold sleeve. Less 'Love and Peace'. More like 'Cheese & Onions'...
