The Rutles

I saw the special 29 years ago, I have the lp. I've mentioned it to people over the years, some have heard of it. None have seen it. I came 6 years before "Spinal Tap" and I remember it being genius.

But for the heck of it, I looked and found the Rutles.

I've ordered it. I can't wait to show the wife. I made her listen to the album when we were dating.

It's an absolutly hysterical travesty of the Beatles' legend.
We have it on video tape :-)

I am still, at this late date, a big-time tea drinker...

They were such clean cut boys until Bob Dylan introduced them to tea.

I undertand the DVD is longer and has all the stuff they couldn't do on American TV.

I remember watching it at a friends house. Pretty funny stuff for a couple of Beatles/Monty Python fans.

Yep, the DVD is a hoot. Don't expect great audio though.

I'm hopelessly hooked on the tea, have been for years...

We've had the VHS for a long time, thanks for the link to the DVD!

I figured it would be in glorious mono. Too bad since the lp paid such close attention to how the different era Rutles songs should sound.

Number one has everything panned into one channel or the other and by the time you get tp "Doubleback Alley", Hi-Fi stereo.

Real noticable is how they got the drum sound right, especially on the later tracks. To bad they didn't actually do the songs.

"I am the Waitress", "WC Fields Forever", "Denny Lane".... classic stuff.

Did the Rutles' stuff ever get released on LaserDisk?

DVDs are nice, but I'm partial to LDs now, especially for this sort of dated stuff, when I can find them. [Call me weird if you must, but they are cheaper, more decorative, and more fun to collect. ]

From Wikipedia

Quote:
The Rutles' "Cheese and Onions", incorrectly — and perhaps jokingly — attributing it to John Lennon). In the early 1980s, Innes was accused by one American Beatle fan of stealing unreleased Beatles tracks to use in the film; this was based on a recording of "Cheese And Onions" obtained by the fan which he believed to be by John Lennon. When the recording was played to Innes, he was amused to discover that it was actually his own demo of the song - a tribute to his skills as a parodist.

Got them both, watched them both, again, loved the first one, the sequal, "Can't buy me lunch" wasn't nearly as good. It's clear Idol didn't have the budget to do much.
