The Rutles - A Hard Day's Rut (2017)
This is the soundtrack album to The Rutles first foray onto the big screen in 'A Hard Day's Rut'. The original track listing included 'High School Hermit' by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, but this was never properly recorded by the group, and is only available on a live TV broadcast, with the quality somewhat letting it down compared to the other tracks on the album, and so I was reluctant to include it. However, I have downloaded it and carried out a couple of (I hope) subtle edits to remove the comedy sketch in the middle, and it's included as a bonus if you want to add it back into your own copy. 'Fresh Wound' and 'I Want To Be With You', both by the Bonzos, are already on 'Rutle Sole' and 'Ouch!', so have been substituted.

When I did my Hard Day's Rut, including "I Love You" was my one regret, because three VERY similar songs were put side by side. (I also didn't realize "I Love You" was meant as a sort of Rutles "It's Only Love" instead, but it sounds more like a AHDN track.)
