It's all part of the "soup".', an encounter that Innes related in interviews in 1996.) The reunion was blessed by George Harrison, who encouraged The Pre-Fab Four to proceed. Several of the songs were actually older Innes songs that were dusted off and given the 'Rutles' treatment. 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.
Eric Idle was invited to participate, but declined. The fourth 'real' Rutle, Ollie Halsall, died in Spain in 1992. 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).
Like their previous release, the album contains pastiches of Beatles songs. Archaeology is the second album by parody band The Rutles.
