The Rutles Burder Mabies is the ninth Capatal release by The Rutles and the eleventh overall American release. This album is most known for originally featuring a disturbing image of The Rutles surrounded by baby corpses, with the title The Rutles Murder Babies. For unknown reasons, record executives asked for a change to the cover, resulting in the new cover and title being hastily glued over. It was issued only in the United States and Canada.

The Rutles reportedly felt upset and the removal of the original cover, which they worked particularly hard on. "If we can't put out messages like that, then what's this all been about?" Nasty later commented.

-The hodgepodge nature in which Capitol Records compiled their albums irritated the prefab four, who felt they had "put a lot of work into the sequencing" of the British versions. They also felt upset and the removal of the original baby cover, which they worked particularly hard on. "If we can't put out messages like that, then what's this all been about?" Nasty later commented.
