LIMITED VINYL REPLICA SLEEVE CD EDITION WITH 6 BONUS TRACKS
J Released for the first time on CD in the UK, The Rutles album was the soundtrack to the original TV spoof documentary film 'All You Need Is Cash'. The brainchild of Neil Innes and Eric Idle, this expanded CD adds six tracks to the 14 track vinyl version first released in 1978 and comes in a vinyl replica digi-pack. One of rock's most enduring and insightful parodies, brilliantly mirroring The Beatles' career, it even featured a cameo from George Harrison (as a TV reporter).
The Rutles themselves were Neil Innes as Ron Nasty (Lennon), Eric Idle as Dirk McQuickly (McCartney), ex-Beach Boy Rikki Fataar as Stig O'Hara (Harrison) and Patto's John Halsey as Barry Wom (Ringo). The fifth Rutle, for recording purposes, was Patto's mercurial guitarist Ollie Halsall.
Innes' songs wonderfully re-created each phase of the Beatles' recorded history from the straight Merseybeat of "I Must Be In Love" and "Number One", through "Ouch" ("Help", of course) to the psychedelic experimentation of "Piggy In The Middle" and "Cheese And Onions" and the rooftop finale of "Get Up And Go".
Brilliantly observed, the film featured cameo appearances by Mick Jagger and Paul Simon, and thinly disguised portraits of Derek Taylor and Alan Klein by Michael Palin and a fearsome John Belushi. The managerial figure of Brian Epstein was parodied as Leggy Mountbaton for whom the Rutles' success could be attributed to just one factor: "I think it was the trousers." Alongside Spinal Tap, the most effective rock 'n' roll lampooning ever and, remarkably, the music both holds up today and stands apart from the film itself. It’s virtually a history lesson in the evolution of sixties pop and probably the best album the Beatles never made. Even Nasty has been surprised by the Rutles' endurance, his alter-ego Neil Innes commenting recently: "People seem to be extraordinarily fond of The Rutles, and I was completely taken aback by how many hardcore Beatles fans embraced it".
The Booklet inside is 24 pages in full colour with extensive photo coverage.
