Neil Innes (Nasty) has a great ear for parody. This album kicks off with "Sgt. Pepper" take-offs in which Barry doesn't need any help from his friends, and moves on to mock the White Album and solo Beatles so accurately it'll make your head spin cause the lyrics are so earnestly--silly.

I can't pretend to be / Someone who pretends to be / Someone else
Or so my pretend friend tells me

Rutles forever! January 23, 2008

Do you love the Beatles? Are you sick of the Beatles since you've listened to them SO DAMN MUCH for your WHOLE LIFE? Want to hear new songs by the Beatles that are not actually by the Beatles?!? Then try out the Rutles!!! Led by musician (and former Monty Python associate) Neil Innes the Rutles will fill that craving in your heart for new Beatlesy stuff! Exclamation points!!

Eric Idle's pre-fab creation, The RUTLES, were an hilarious dead-on knock-off of the Beatles. But that was 1978, and all four Fabs were alive then-- so laughter came easy. This 1990s rip of the ANTHOLOGY specials and CDs is Idle-less, ill-considered and quite unnecessary.

The new "old" songs here are dismissively mediocre, the three-man-left joke in poor taste, and even the mixes seem wrong: music obscures many vocals to the point where this not only doesn't sound like the Beatles, it ain't the RUTLES, either. Give it a rest Neil-- it's not funny anymore, mate!

Now I know where Oasis got their 'sound' from- The RUTLES!!
Archeology has a cool collection of tunes, very nicely recorded, and humorously funny with a twist of Lennon's ghost breathing in the microphone. I'm still a huge fan of the first Rutles album, btw.

Long Live The Rutles! November 5, 2006
