- Archaeology is the second album by parody band The Rutles. Like their previous release, the album contains pastiches of Beatles songs. Three of the four musicians who had created the soundtrack for the 1978 film—Neil Innes, John Halsey, and Ricky Fataar—reunited in 1996 and recorded a second album, Archaeology, an affectionate send-up of The Beatles Anthology albums (although its original cover design rather parodied that of The Beatles' singles compilation Past Masters: Volume One). The fourth 'real' Rutle, Ollie Halsall, died in Spain in 1992. Eric Idle was invited to participate, but declined. Like the Anthology project that it lampooned, it featured tracks ostensibly from all periods of the Rutles' career, sequenced to reflect the fictional band's chronology. Several of the songs were actually older Innes songs that were dusted off and given the 'Rutles' treatment. The reunion was blessed by George Harrison, who encouraged The Pre-Fab Four to proceed. (When approached, he told Innes, 'Sure. It's all part of the "soup"...', an encounter that Innes related in interviews in 1996.) The reunion was triggered by Innes's appearance at the Los Angeles festival "Monty Python: Lust For Glory!", an event that celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Monty Python troupe and was produced by Martin Lewis for the American Cinematheque. Innes performed two sold-out gigs at Los Angeles's Troubadour Club under the name "Ron Nasty & The New Rutles", using a local Beatles tribute band. Following the success of the shows, Lewis and Innes collaborated on the project that became Archaeology. (en)
- The Rutles Archaeology è un album dei The Rutles. Come l'album precedente, contiene delle parodie di alcune canzoni dei Beatles. Tre dei quattro musicisti della band - Innes, Halsey e Faatar - si riunirono nel 1996 e registrarono un secondo album, Archaeology, una parodia dell'album The Beatles Anthology. Il quarto "vero" Rutle, Ollie Halsall, era morto in Spagna nel 1992. Eric Idle venne invitato a partecipare, ma rifiutò. Come il progetto dell'Anthology dei Beatles qui satirizzato, l'album comprende tracce apparentemente appartenenti a tutti i periodi della carriera dei Rutles, in sequenza per riflettere la cronologia della fittizia band. La riunione fu propiziata da George Harrison che incoraggiò i Pre-Fab Four a proseguire nel progetto. La riunione fu innescata dall'apparizione di Innes al festival di Los Angeles "Monty Python: Lust For Glory!", la celebrazione del venticinquesimo anniversario dei Monty Python prodotto da . Innes si esibì in due concerti al sotto il nome di "Ron Nasty & The New Rutles". Dopo il successo dei due show, Lewis e Innes collaborarono al progetto che diventò Archaeology. (it)
