The Masked Marauders Invade America: The editors of Rolling Stone magazine decided to try an experiment. In 1969, they printed a review of a fake album by a non-existent band called The Masked Marauders, which they claimed was a supergroup that included Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney (all playing under pseudonyms, of course).Rolling Stone then took the joke one step further by hiring an obscure California band to record a full Masked Marauders album. All told, The Masked Marauders spent 12 weeks on the Billboard charts and sold more than 100,000 copies. Not bad for a group that never even existed.
