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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RFxencNmZw But for the heck of it, I looked and found the Rutles. http://www.deepdiscount.com/viewprod...ductId=5782892 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 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. ]

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.
