Background[]
On New Year's Day 1962, the Rutles recorded 15 songs (with 3 originals) for Mecca after Leggy Mountbatten had contacted many labels for the Rutles to record at. Brian Thigh turned the Rutles down by saying, "Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr. Mountbatten". The songs now exist only as a bootleg.
