Comments : TMOQ Gazette - Volume 33
Contains Previously Unreleased Video Material
This is the second of two 50th Anniversary Volumes of 2-DVD sets that will represent the
ultimate collection of material surrounding The Beatles notorious 1967 film, Magical Mystery Tour.
In this second new double-DVD set, we guarantee you the continued trip of a lifetime with more fresh looks at this wonderful film.
In these volumes you will find outtakes, work prints, alternate scenes, music videos, home movie footage, and
super-rare historical reference video with tons of PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED FOOTAGE
much of which has NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE !
All beautifully edited together with a digitally remastered soundtrack for your ultimate enjoyment !
And don't forget Volume 1: Hop On The Bus
The 24 page stiff card booklet for the TMOQ Gazette has a detailed write-up of the detail on this set - The Magic Continues.
It has sections on the music, the re-issue history, the 2012 remaster and Arena Documentary which had access to ten hours of outtakes !
Plus the 2012 Radio Times review - "A Lost Classic" which among other things points out that Magical Mystery Tour was
put out on BBC1 in black-and-white between a Petula Clark Special and a Norman Wisdom film (The Square Peg).
It was shown in colour a week later on the very new BBC2, but hardly anyone had the new colour sets.
Also included in the booklet is an NME interview with John, Paul and Ringo dated 25th November 1967 - after the filming and before the showing.
Finally there is detail of the two hours worth of outtakes used on these discs.
Plus the usual HMC quality selection of pictures and fake adverts.
If you either have these new outtake DVD's, or an interest in the Magical Mystery Tour film and
would really like to read the most complete articles and detail about all of the available footage and
filming of Magical Mystery Tour, you should go to Doug Sulpy's webpages and purchase his very worthwhile
full analysis in a very special double issue of "The 910" at a very reasonable cost:
The 910 - Magical Mystery Tour 50th Anniversary (you might need to look for "Back issues" Volume 16)
