ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING.
There was no script for the film; the film proceeded on the basis of a (mostly handwritten) collection of ideas, sketches, and situations, which Paul McCartney called the 'Scrupt'. The basic plot involves a group of people on a British charabanc bus tour, focusing mostly on Mr. Richard Starkey (Ringo Starr) and his aunt, Mrs Jessie Starkey (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), 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 the magicians are played by The Beatles themselves, the fifth by long-time road manager Mal Evans.
During the tour, Starkey and his aunt argue considerably. Meanwhile, Mrs Starkey begins to fall 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). The tour also goes through a long crawl tunnel which leads to a set-up projector theatre, and involves a strange scene where the group walks through what appears to be a British Army recruiter's office. The film culminates with the group splitting up to see strip shows.
Musical interludes include The Beatles performing "I Am the Walrus" wearing animal masks, and George Harrison dressed as a monk, singing "Blue Jay Way" while waiting on Blue Jay Way Road.
At various times, an audience is seen when something funny or unexpected happens; For example, when John asks Nicola if he wants to blow up his red balloon, she exclaims a straightforward 'NO', prompting John to put on a face that says 'Why Do I Bother?' The scene interludes with "I Am the Walrus".
What distinguishes an Original Master Recording LP from any other record?
1. Original Master Recordings are exclusively transferred from the original stereo master tape that the musicians recorded in the studio (not from a second, third, or fourth generation copy of that master tape).
2. Each Original Master Recording employs Mobile Fidelity Sound lab's exclusive half-speed mastering process, thus capturing every nuance of sound from the master tape.
3. Quality, not quantity, is the overwhelming consideration in the creation of each Original Master Recording. The number of pressings is strictly controlled. These limited editions assure you that the quality of the last pressing matches the quality of the first.
4. Original Master recordings are custom pressed overseas by the Victor Company of Japan (JVC). Super Vinyl, an exclusive compound far superior to even so-called 100% virgin vinyl, is utilized to achieve maximum clarity and startling quietness.... Super Vinyl also bestows unsurpassed durability to each Original Master Recording LP, achieving a "playing lifespan" at least five times longer than mass- produced records.
5. Each Original Master Recording is ultra-packaged to maintain flatness and prevent warpage.
