The Beatles filmed Magical Mystery Tour 45 years ago, in September, 1967. It was a made for TV film, shown in the U.K. and had a short run here on college campuses in 1968, but has never had a theatrical release until today, Tuesday, October 2nd. Most theatres are showing the film tonight at 7:30PM, but there are places showing it at other times over the next week. CLICK HERE to see where it is playing in your area. The films was certainly avant garde and ahead of its time, but as Paul recently said, any film that includes I Am The Walrus must be worthy. The film also features the late great Victor Spinetti (a special guest at many FESTS over the years) and fab guest, Neil Innes (The Rutles) makes a musical appearance as well. It is not too late to make plans with your Beatles friends and family to have the chance to see it on a large screen with other fellow Beatles fans. It should be quite an experience. If you live in the New York are, we (Mark, Carol, Michelle and Jessica) are going to the Chelsea Cinema on West 23rd St, NYC. Consider this “An Invitation To Make A Reservation” for tonight. We do recommend getting tickets ahead of time, as we did. We do not know how many tickets are pre sold. Hope to see many of you later. The reason for the Theatrical showings is to herald the DVD and (for the first time)BluRay Editions, set for release on October 9th. There is also a Deluxe Edition Box Set that has lots of extras. You can pre order these this week. We expect to start shipping this Friday so you can receive them on or close to its release date.
