The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour Memories DVD

Here is another Beatles related DVD slated for release on September 2, 2008. The Magical Mystery Tour album just might be my favorite Beatles album, and the movie is quite good as well. Unfortunately the movie received a poor reception for a number of reasons, the main reason being because when it debuted on television it was played in black and white and this is a movie that demands color because of all the psychedelia.

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour Memories is an upbeat rockumentary featuring the vivid memories of those who witnessed the making of the cult Beatle movie, The Magical Mystery Tour, in 1967 and features a celebrity cast along with anecdotal stories and unseen 8mm home movie footage, as well as eye-witness accounts from fans, on-lookers and the cast of the movie. Featuring Dame Peggy Spencer (choreographer), Neil Innis (Bonzo Dog Do Da Band), Tony Barrow (Beatles press officer and close friend of Sir Paul McCartney), Keith McCartney (Paul McCartney's brother), Frieda Kelly (principle secretary to the Beatles Fan Club), Spencer Davis (Spencer Davis Group), Tony Bramwell (Beatles road manager), and Victor Spinetti (actor and close friend of John Lennon) sharing their memories with Victor supplying a fascinating commentary to the film. "This is a happy, upbeat film" comments David Lambert, producer and director of Arthouse Pictures, who produced the movie. "Probably the last time the fab four were all still getting along." Keith Badman (author and Beatles expert) said "I have seen the rough cut screener and can't wait to see the finished program. It is fantastic." This film is a must have for all Beatles fans worldwide and an opportunity to look back fondly at the heady days of the swinging 60s.
