www.antimusic.com/news/08/july/24Magical_Mystery_Tour_Memories.shtml(Note the typo mentioning a "Keith McCartney") (MVD) The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour Memories is an upbeat rockumentary featuring the vivid memories of those who witnessed the making of the cult Beatle movie, The Magical Mystery Tour, in 1967.
The DVD hits stores on September 2nd and features a celebrity cast along with anecdotal stories and unseen 8mm home movie footage, as well as eye-witness accounts from fans, on-lookers and the cast of the movie. Featuring Dame Peggy Spencer (choreographer), Neil Innis (Bonzo Dog Do Da Band), Tony Barrow (Beatles press officer and close friend of Sir Paul McCartney), Keith McCartney (Paul McCartney's brother), Frieda Kelly (principle secretary to the Beatles Fan Club), Spencer Davis (Spencer Davis Group), Tony Bramwell (Beatles road manager), and Victor Spinetti (actor and close friend of John Lennon) sharing their memories with Victor supplying a fascinating commentary to the film.
"This is a happy, upbeat film" comments David Lambert, producer and director of Arthouse Pictures, who produced the movie. "Probably the last time the fab four were all still getting along."
Keith Badman (author and Beatles expert) said "I have seen the rough cut screener and can't wait to see the finished program. It is fantastic." This film is a must have for all Beatles fans worldwide and an opportunity to look back fondly at the heady days of the swinging 60s.
Bonus Materials: * Beatles related stories from Mike McCartney, Frieda Kelly, Spencer Davis, Victor Spinetti, Tony Bramwell and Miranda Ward.

I'm watching Magical Mystery Tour Memories, and noticed that Mike McCartney is interviewed in front of a wall full of upside-down pentagrams. Nothing particularly strange about that, I suppose... I also found this pic of Paul and Brian to be interesting. More because of the odd, shrew-like appearance of Brian, than anything else. Well, that and the hand-sign... Compare: Oh, and why are you reading this? It's new year's eve, for crying out loud!

P(D)enny, that is a great catch ! We were talking about that photo at an earlier date, & people were wondering who the guy was who resembled Brian. Noone caught on to the fact that it's supposed to BE Brian talking to Faul. Wow... It is very obvious that he is NOT the original Brian Epstein.

Hold the phone here... I know this picture made an appearance at NIR sometime in the not so distant past. Don't know where the thread is, but I suspect it was considered remarkable that this man had such a resemblance to Brian, as he was dead by this point.

Well, the whole thing is a bit peculiar, as the film (Magical Mystery Tour Memories) never comes right out and definitively says "this is a photograph of Paul McCartney and Brian Epstein", but the photo is on screen while Tony Barrow is discussing Paul's development of MMT immediately after Brian's death: "Some people thought it was rather callous that Paul seemed to be, sort of, putting work before anything else, so soon, when there hadn't even been a funeral for Brian Epstein."And the photo of Paul with "shrew Brian" is immediately followed by this one: So, it's pretty clear that at the very least, the film makers want us to believe that both of these people are Brian Epstein.

Don't be silly. It's clearly Otis. You'd be surprised what a shave, some Rogaine, and a gym membership will do. Or, then again it could also be acid head Floyd with no mustache or glasses, but some subtle prosthetics barbered in. (very possible considering what barbers used to do) It's all coming together now.

I would point out the thin straggly "comb-over" hair of A versus the thick "SOE" coiffure of B.

Yes, Keep in mind Rogaine works a little at a time. Gotta give it a chance.
Mr A also had side work reflecting off tables. Or,was he the one sitting there?
I'm confused.

So two images of Brian seem divergent. Now, the blurry black and white one is too poor to make a good reckoning, but in the video referenced (G. Martin interviews on youtube) he is shown sitting in the studio, smoking and observating the session, unless of course this ISN'T actually Mr. Epstein, but, who else could it be with the hair and the cigarette. Several frames in a row agree with this image of a man's profile, which presents a very thin neck, a sharp jaw line, a straight, flat forehead, and cheekbones and nose that remind one of Bob Dylan, also the hair appears to stand up and be very coarse, like an old flat top. I dunno. I leave it to viewer discretion.

Maybe not Bobby D, but even before I read all your post Bob came to mind-probably the general outline, hair and cigibutt.

^ Great comps, mommybird. Frian doesn't seem to have the poutiness or the same hair.

Wasn't the story of the alleged Frian supposed to be that he disappeared after Brian was reported dead? As in, there isn't a Frian running around? This is from MMT, which is post Brian's reported death.. NOT an alleged Frian!

Very true, Jo. So, can it be Brian's brother ?

It's NOT the same man. Different ear, nose and head shape. So that's NOT Clive. Is Clive the man with the carafe on the right too?

Wow Maurice Buckmaster changed "features" after 1965. Interesting Ringo's marriage on TV in the background
