I wish they used this on Archeology

And so it was......Prophetic ❤

I love how its opposite, evo. 10 is calm, but rev. 9 is horrifying

Ah, Communism at it's finest 😊

Number 10.. number 10.. number 10...

I just bought the 2020 Grapefruit CD and in actual matter of fact the album and single versions are just swapped around/mis-labelled...which is annoying. That said it's a nice collection. I hope some of the other albums are re-issued on cd.

How absolutely brilliant.

Machine wrapped with butter?

A little " Gimme Some Truth" in the lyrics?

How did you clean up the audio

I still like how they made "George" an actual Indian because of his love of their land/music/religion 😊

Genius

"Imitation Song" merges ""Imagine" with The Beatles in their last two years of recording, 1967-1969. The Beatles were officially together until 1970, but their last recording together was in August 1969.

Thanks for posting this. I was just listening to my CD copy when I thought: "There's something missing here!" Used to have the LP on vinyl, of course. It's a typically bittersweet Neil Innes composition, the jaunty music set against lyrics telling a tragic tale. (Is the rest of the album alright, do you know..?)

although a parody of imagine, it predicts the 2020’s AI obsession one can argue

Neil Innes must have been able to read the future , I mean how else could he have made a record that sounded so much like Oasis before they ever made their record ?😲

And 'Slaves of Freedom'; 'Bold, Brave Sir Robin', and many other delights of wit humor and tune. Neil's talent greatly exceeded his fame. Everyone's loss.

This debut album is hot😊😊😊😊

Hmmm...intresting.

Based on now and then

Sono al pari dei beatles grandi😊

Imitation Song reminds me of Procol Harum. I can just hear Gary Brooker singing. Rest easy Neil

Fell in love with this song as soon as my ears admitted it to my cerebral cortex monitored it. I have to admit this was in part a totally selfish perspective, as my intention, devotion and perhaps laziness was to reproduce. The song is perfection personified in my world.....

This song has a strange curiosity John Lennon (the Beatle he parodied during the Rutles era) composed a song of the same name in 1974, however, the song was only released in 1985 In other words, Innes got so good at parodying the Beatles, that he did it in a way that even he didn't notice

I used to love Neil Innes work but I don't think I ever realised how truly brilliant he was , I was just a little too young to have seen The Bonzo Dog Doodah Band live and it's thanks to everyone's work putting the material up for people to be able to watch and listen to that keeps the memories alive . Thank you all .

Was this orchestrated by John Altman?

Sounds like Julian

Imagine! the other versión!

You're a saint for uploading this song, and the entire album. Many thanks!

Neil Innes was a singer songwriter on a par with John Lennon, or any other of the greats. I sing his praises, whenever I can, and I feel that more of the world needs to hear his music.

Such a talented and down to earth and approachable idiot . How sweet .🤔🙂 "Indeed you would make a good fool ."

Such a wonderful observations of the human condition , his music and lyrics are sublime .

underrated

Great Track!

Songs i hear: Come together Golden slumbers Carry that weight The end

the instrumental was recorded in 1978?

This is officially Yesterday for me. Thanks for uploading this! ☺

Neil Innes was a spectacular human being. I cried watching him sing “All Things Pass” (for George) in Liverpool (on a ukulele). Thanks for posting this, very cool.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Neil Innes the real fifth Beatle...

now i can actually hear the vocals, hooray

We..will,MISS you..OUR. FRIEND!😊

I.mean...classic..ETERNAL!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊❤😊

I'm number 11

Stunning. Timeless. Music from another time, for all time.

Amazing.... Who were Who ?....

Ha. I normally don't post those "like count comments" (like "first", "millionth" or whatever), but I am like "#10".

he even got the scouse accent lol ,excellent parody

Awesome theme tune for The Innes Book Of Records, it's like some kind of music from a bygone age, an odd but pleasing sound. It's certainly not a piece of music you would forget after hearing it.

Neil never cared for fame, and yet as a songwriter of very catchy music, he was awesome, if he went mainstream he would be up there along with the best songwriters on the planet. I enjoyed the Bonzos, but Innes had talent away beond that. I loved The Innes Book Of Records. Down That Road was great. RIP Neil.

I remember this for my KCHU days.
