Thanks are due to The_Lifehouse for coming up with the idea for this one. There's been a video on Youtube for a while now of songs from side one of this album, but no-one has ever bothered to complete it with a side two, until he suggested using orchestral pieces like the original album, and he had the great idea of utlising music from the Ren & Stimpy Show. They have a three CD collection of public domain tunes from the 40's and 50's that are used in their shows, and while his choices were mostly perfectly fine, I did trawl through two volumes of the set to see if there were any pieces which I felt matched his track titles a little better, and so I hope he doesn't mind that I've used the ones that I found instead, and by choosing slightly longer pieces I've stretched side two to around 21 minutes. I've also substituted a couple of tracks from the 'song' side as they'd already been used on other albums, but I decided to leave 'Ging Gang Goolie (Yellow Submarine) and 'Love Life' (All You Need Is Love') as the original Beatles songs had already appeared on 'Revolver' and 'Magical Mystery Tour' by the time the film came out, so duplications are allowed in those two cases. Finally, thanks to Rutle's Vinyls for suggesting 'I Like Chinese' as the 'All Together Now' of this set.

I was in two minds whether to post this one, but I thought I would anyway and see what sort of reaction I got to it.A couple of weeks ago I stumbled on some Youtube videos where fans of the Pre-Fab Four - Ron Nasty, Dirk McQuickly, Stig O'Hara, and Barry Wom - had pieced together actual 'records' of the ones mentioned in the classic 'All You Need Is Cash' film, such as 'Ouch', 'Sgt. Rutters Only Darts Club Band', 'Let It Rot', and 'Semi-Automatic' (work it out). I grabbed them to see what they were like, and they were all surprisingly good, so I managed to piece together the ones which weren't posted using track listings that I found on the Rutles Wiki page http://rutlesriki.wikia.com/wiki/The_Rutles_ discography, and I can post them all if this one proves popular. As The Rutles didn't record that many songs themselves, these fans have taken music from any band in which the individual members were involved in real life, so there are contributions from Neil Innes solo, as well as with The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, GRIMMS, The World, and Brian Patten, Ricky Fataar with The Flames and The Beach Boys, John Halsey and Ollie Halsall with Timebox, Boxer, and Patto, and also one small piece from Eric Idle. They then looked for songs which resembled those from the actual Beatles albums and put them together, resulting in some intriguing combinations. I'm posting 'Shabby Road' first as it think it works really well, with the superb 'No Reply (She's Too Heavy)' on "side one" and the lovely medley of shorter songs on "side two", just like the album that it's parodying.

The Man In The Magenta Wig, a.k.a. TheLazenby has put a lot of work into these, and inspired other to follow in his steps, and so thanks to them all. If this one proves popular then I can post more, although I think I'm going to anyway whether you like it or not!
