Magical Mystery Tour [MOV Version] Part 3

Part 3 of my huge project of restoring the 'Magical Mystery Tour' motion picture.

This is an edited version of the motion picture. It includes my new stereo mixes of songs included, new cuts, edited scenes, and similar. It may also include new audio track, scenes, and new picture clarity.

The film was unscripted and shooting proceeded on the basis of a mostly handwritten collection of ideas, sketches, and situations, which Paul McCartney called the "Scrupt." The situation is that of a group of people on a British charabanc bus (in a Bedford VAL Panorama) tour, focusing mostly on Mr. Richard Starkey (Ringo Starr) and his recently widowed Auntie Jessie (Jessie Robins). Other group members on the bus include the tour director Jolly Jimmy Johnson (Derek Royle), the tour hostess Miss Wendy Winters (Mandy Weet), conductor Buster Bloodvessel (Ivor Cutler), and the other Beatles.

During the course of the tour, "strange things begin to happen" at the whim of "four or five magicians," four of whom are played by The Beatles themselves and the fifth by long-time road manager Mal Evans.

During the journey, Ringo and his Auntie Jessie argue considerably. During the tour, Aunt Jessie begins to have daydreams of falling in love with Buster Bloodvessel, who displays eccentric and disturbing behaviour. The tour involves several strange activities, such as an impromptu race in which each tour group member employs a different mode of transportation (some run, a few jump into cars, a group of people have a long bike they pedal, while Ringo ends up beating them all with the bus). The entire tour group also crawls into a tiny tent in a field, inside which is a projection theatre. There is a strange scene where the group walks through what appears to be a British Army recruitment office. The film culminates with the men of the tour group watching a strip show.

The film is punctuated by musical interludes, which include The Beatles performing "I Am the Walrus" wearing animal masks, George Harrison singing "Blue Jay Way" while waiting on Blue Jay Way Road, and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band performing Vivian Stanshall and Neil Innes's "Death Cab For Cutie," sung by Vivian Stanshall himself.

i have to say, for something fan-done, this isn't that bad. ithought that the inclusion and placement of strawberry fields forever was very clever, but here's the problem: it was shot in the time period of sgt. pepper, not magical mystery tour, making the time change a little jarring. also, your remixes go overboard on bass to the point where the bass completely drowns out any treble-y sounds. great effort though, i love your comitment to restoring this

@firemonster996 Thank you for the compliment, yeah, these videos are kind of messy, I was just starting to do things like these, now I'm much more knowledged and experienced. I spent a lot of time trying to remix the catalogue, and I sort of have the formula, that sounds very good that doesn't include any side effects, but I left it be, since it had a lot of phasing problems (when mixed down to mono). I'm remastering the whole catalogue, thinking of releasing it as a bootleg, will see) :)

Awesome man-the first Beatles album I heard at age 5 and to this day still my favourite-this album had an atmosphere all it's own.

'Roll Up For The

Mystery Tour'!

@onthemoveagain Thank you, I also love this album...

It's got a magical atmosphere, which the previous ones doesn't have.

I don't know, if I did right, when I added 'Strawberry Fields Forever', I was really thinking about it a long time... But, this is only experimental, after this, we can do it again as a community ! ;)
