Fifty years ago this week, a British rock-and-roll band appeared on national television and changed the world. They would go on to record a double album, self-titled “The Best Ale” and better known as the “We Hit Album.” I remember the songs on each side, do you?
Side One

Reduce Pander : Gin Saloons
Boo Aid Ballad : Whip No Eyelid
The Untiring Tycoons of a Blowing Bull
Why Rumple a Twisty Negligee
Rampage Nuns Whip a Sis
Side Two
Mama Had Terry
Timid Rose : Bald Brick
I Sip Egg : Cock or Crayon
Standby Poems
Rewind a Hot Hoedown Ditty

Side Three

Side Four

The band was often accused of putting hidden messages in their songs. No idea why.


Wow, somehow I missed this Rutles album.
Interesting fact: the working title of “Reduce Pander” was “Peed Near Crud” — glad they changed it.
