Rutles – Archaeology [CD]

Description

The brainchild of Neil Innes of Bonzo Dog Band and Monty Python’s Eric Idle, The Rutles became a hit with Beatles fans around the world following the 1978 NBC broadcast of the hilarious “rockumentary” satire All You Need Is Cash (the album received a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Recording that year). on the heels of the Beatles Anthology 3, this new album of 16 rare and never-before-released Rutles songs features the debut single “Shangri-La” (which bears an uncanny resemblance to “Hey Jude”); the video features many celebrity cameo appearances.
