Main article: The Rutles ArchaeologyThree of the five musicians who had created the soundtrack for the 1978 film—Innes, Halsey and Fataar—reunited in 1996 and recorded a second album, Archaeology, a send-up of The Beatles Anthology albums. The fourth ‘real’ Rutle, Ollie Halsall, died in Spain in 1992. Original Rutles bassist Andy Brown did not participate in the reunion. Eric Idle was invited to participate, but he declined. Accordingly, photos of the three ‘surviving’ Rutles parodied those of the then three surviving Beatles in the Anthology series.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 old Innes standards that were dusted off and given the ‘Rutles’ treatment. The reunion was blessed by George Harrison, who encouraged them to proceed.
