I've got the DVD, and play it frequently. Neil Innes truly is a genius.

I was playing the CD in the car, and one of my passengers commented on how they love the Beatles (!!).

I've got the album and it's brilliant, even though I'm a huge Beatles fan, you can't resist the occasional song from the the 'prefab four'.

Some of the parodies are so close as to be scary (With a Girl Like You - If I Fell etc), and apparantly they were advised not to release "Get Up And Go" (Get Back) in the US for fear of litigation!

Absolutely - neil Innes's voice on Cheese & Onions is a rip-off of Lucy in the sky with diamonds. It's commonly known that Macca hated them (did not approve, at least) although the other members seemed fairly comfortable with it. Harrison went on to finance "Life of Brian" and Lennon, when given a copy, wouldn't give it back. Now that's some endorsement........
