an album burned into my brain through repeated hearings of my parent's copy as a child

George Martin produced
one of many examples of the intertwining or contiguity of comedy and rock in British postwar culture
more so than in the USA i think (Zappa, Firesign Theatre, National Lampoon, SNL notwithstanding)
Monty Python as the Beatles of comedy
Rutles as where the twain shall meet pt 1
George Harrison funding Life of Brian part 2
etc
