You're Either On The Bus or You're Off The Bus,
By Jim Yoakum (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Making of the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour (Paperback)
Full of great insider info on how the Beatles managed to create a masterpiece of psychedelic cinema despite poor planning, total chaos and a complete lack of directing experience. The book does much to show just how brilliant the Fabs were, that they could basically take a camera and an idea and create a film that's just now getting the recognition and critical kudos it deserved 30+ years ago. Mr Barrow writes a cool deliberate prose and successfully captures the mood of a long-gone era when inventiveness meant more than big budgets. Full of great pictures as well, most never-before published. It's a fairly short read, but focused, and totally entertaining. Buy it and revisit a time when there was still such a thing as "Beatle magic."

The Beatles: Magical Mystery Tour,
By Angie McCartney (Playa del Rey, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Making of the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour (Paperback)
Tony Barrow has captured this one-of-a-kind extravaganza which, despite its age, still remains fresh in the minds and hearts of true and new Beatles fans. How could he, or indeed anyone know the impact of this piece of work, so ahead of its time, even now. Angie McCartney

For Fans Only,
By Robert Alan Jameson (Sugar Land, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Making of the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour (Paperback)
This book is for die hard fans only. Lets face it, Magical Mystery Tour has some great songs, but the film plays like a bad acid trip. And maybe it was! Brian Epstein had recently died and the Beatles were managing themselves. Tony Barrow takes you "behind the scenes" of this disjointed film. True fans of the group will enjoy the book.
