The story behind The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour is even more bizarre than the film itself...
In September of 1967, The Beatles and a motley entourage got on a bus and set off for two chaotic weeks of location filming...
Here, for the first time, is the inside story on one of The Beatles' most bizarre creative adventures.
- Magical Mystery Tour was a 55-minute TV movie filmed in colour but broadcast in black & white...
- The supporting cast included Viv Stanshall, Neil Innes, Mal Evans and complete strangers picked up along the way...
- The resulting film attracted almost unanimous criticism when shown but has since been universally praised...
Beatles' press officer Tony Barrow went along for the ride and his account of the chaos that ensued makes outrageous and revealing reading.
Featuring many previously unseen photographs, Magical Mystery Tour has an introduction by Brian Epstein's personal assistant Alistair Taylor who was also part of the legendary trip.
