Trivia / The Masked Marauders

• Absurdly Short Production Time: In-Universe, it was recorded by rock's greatest superstars in a single three-day session. In Real Life, it was quickly cobbled together in two sessions at a recording studio built in a garage in Berkeley, California.
• Accidentally-Correct Writing: All of the album's alleged participants had taken part in actual recorded jam sessions in the same time frame as the album, often covering the same ground.
  • The Beatles had the Let It Be sessions in early 1969, which saw them doing a lot of Cover Version material from The '50s and lighthearted improvised material.
  • In April of 1969, the same exact month that the Masked Marauders allegedly recorded their album, Mick Jagger and the rest of The Rolling Stones (Band), plus guest musicians Nicky Hopkins and Ry Cooder, did a jam session while they waited for Keith Richards to get back to the studio during the sessions for Let It Bleed, doing Blues material, which later got released under the title Jamming With Edward!.
  • One of the album's gags is the incongruity of Bob Dylan singing Doo Wop, but the sessions for The Basement Tapes in 1967 saw him give Cover Version treatment to "Silhouettes" by The Rays and "Confidential" by Sonny Knight, plus an original Doo Wop parody called "I'm Your Teenage Prayer".
• He Also Did: Langdon Winner, the Rolling Stone writer who helped produce the album, is now a highy-regarded professor specializing in social science and technology issues.
