This Rutles rehearsal tape was rescued from a terrible bootleg purchased a long while ago. It contained the music I’ve included here, but also included extended sections of pirated dialogue and music from the film, along with awful adits, clumsy fades and every other manner of amateur bootlegger nonsense.
Yet buried within this mess was some legendary garage recordings by the Pre-Fab Four, in rehearsal just prior to bringing their songs and trousers to the world.
In order to prevent these rare recordings from being released to the public, McQuickly sued Nasty and O'Hara, Wom sued McQuickly, Nasty sued O'Hara and Wom, and in all the confusion, O'Hara accidentally sued himself.
So it is only by special arrangement with Parlourphone that I am finally able to bring these recordings to fans at dimeadozen, in really super-duper kinda good audiophilesque sound.
Here then, is The Rutles’ “Millstones.”
Recording Notes:
Ripped from the silver cd “Rutles Rehearsal” (Goldtone #GT-013). I used Soundforge 8 to edit out the pirated film material, insert nicer fades, normalize, and resequence the tracks based on my purely subjective view of an appropriate song order. Also some hiss was corrected with some very modest ParaEQing at 6320Hz and 7290Hz.

Wow, what a find! This may send some folks running to Wikipedia... wink wink nudge nudge.
