Songs you'll never forget, the film you've never seen and a story that's never been heard. In 1967, The Beatles devised, wrote and directed their third film, Magical Mystery Tour, a dreamlike story of a coach day trip to the seaside. Apple Films have fully restored the long out-of-print, classic feature film on DVD and Blu-ray with a remixed soundtrack (5.1 and stereo) and bonus features.
The restoration of Magical Mystery Tour has been overseen by Paul Rutan Jr. of Eque Inc., the same company that handled the much acclaimed restoration of Yellow Submarine. The soundtrack work was done at Abbey Road Studios by Giles Martin and Sam O'Kell.
Contains a host of bonus features, packed with unseen footage. There are newly-filmed interviews with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and other members of the film's cast and crew, as well as director's commentary audio recorded by McCartney.
In September 1967, The Beatles loaded a film crew onto a bus along with friends, family and cast and headed west on the A30 out of London to make their third film, this time conceived and directed by The Beatles themselves. The film followed a loose narrative and showcased six new songs: “Magical Mystery Tour,” “The Fool on the Hill,” “I Am the Walrus,” “Flying,” “Blue Jay Way,” and “Your Mother Should Know.” Magical Mystery Tour features a fabulous supporting cast of character actors and performers, including Ivor Cutler, Victor Spinetti, Jessie Robins, Nat Jackley, Derek Royle, and the inimitable Bonzo Doo Dah Band.
