BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE RUTLES IDLE MIND – LOL!
The late Beatle friend and associate Neil Aspinall once gave a private screening of the pre-Anthology Beatles Anthology documentary which at the time had the title of The Long and Winding Road to none other than Eric Idle of The Rutles. Viewing this Aspinall documentary gave Eric Idle the idea and inspiration to write the script for his successful Beatles parody entitled, All You Need Is Cash.
A Fanzine/booklet celebrating The Rutles, a parody of The Beatles created by Eric Idle (Monty Python’s Flying Circus) and Neil Innes (The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band) is shown here!
14 pages, with color & B&W photos, with text by Eric Idle, signed on the cover by Eric Idle. I was able to recently acquire this signed booklet on eBay!
