Notes: The Beatles latest film project was Paul`s psychedelic brainchild "Magical Mystery Tour", a rather unfocused bizarre collection of almost random scenes under the guise of a 1 hour TV movie
that was shown stupidly in black and white on December 26th 1967 to a stunned and highly critical audience.
It was re-broadcast on Jan 5, 1968 in colour but it was too late and the critical damage had been done.
In America the movie was first shown at the Fillmore East in New York on August 11, 1968 and not shown in a theatre again until 1974.
It was premiered on American TV in 1985. A grey area release on video occurred in 1978 in the US before it was eventually taken off the market by Apple and again in 1981 in the UK.
It was officially released commercially Worldwide in 1988 on home video, then on Laserdisc in 1992.
It was released on DVD in 1997 by Apple and finally in a completely remastered edition on DVD & Blu Ray in 2015.
