6 track 7" in Japanese sleeve

16 page booklet

Press release

This time the record is presented by, of all labels, Parlophone (The Beatles’ original UK label)! The Rutles was originally released by Warner Bros. in both the US and England, but here in 2018 Warners and Parlophone are both part of Universal, so we get the album cover and labels sporting the latter’s logos and look. Sonically, the album itself is presented as the original was (14 songs), though the mastering job is much clearer than the 1978 issue and even better than the 1990 CD. That CD gave us twenty Rutles tunes – the fourteen from the album and another six that were featured in the TV special but not on the record. To remedy that, included here is a 7″ EP with the other six songs that made the CD but not the original album, in a picture sleeve that’s a parody of a mid ’60s Japanese Beatles record. Also included is the original colour booklet, which is a fun read, and an extra special insert of a mock press release. Strangely, the typography on the inside gatefold and in the booklet is different from the originals, but the artwork is otherwise presented fairly crisply so a change in typefaces shouldn’t be a big deal. (If you’re a normal person, which I am clearly not.) If you’ve never watched All You Need Is Cash, which predates This Is Spinal Tap by six or seven years, it’s good for many laughs and you can get or rent it on DVD and Blu-ray. If you want to enjoy The Rutles’ music, the Rhino CD can be found online or you can treat yourself to this fab 12″+7″ set. For Beatles fans with a sense of humour, it’s not to be missed. 1962-67, , , A1, , Hold My Hand, A2, , Number One, A3, , With A Girl Like You, A4, , I Must Be In Love, A5, , Ouch!, A6, , Living In Hope, A7, , Love Life, A8, , Nevertheless, 1967-70, B1, , Good Times Roll, B2, , Doubleback Alley, B3, , Cheese And Onions, B4, , Another Day, B5, , Piggy In The Middle, B6, , Let’s Be Natural, The Rutles - ラトルズ, C1, , Goose-Step Mama, 2:17 C2, , Baby Let Me Be, 1:54 C3, , Blue Suede Schubert, 2:11 D1, , Between Us, 2:01 D2, , It’s Looking Good, 1:59 D3, , Get Up And Go, 3:16 Multi buy discounts available, buy more than one vinyl at the same time and receive the following discounts, Buy 2 get 10% off Buy 3 get 15% off Buy 4 or more get 20% off Simply add to your basket and checkout together and the discount will be automatically applied.
