We took a Magical Mystery Tour during our visit to London. We found a brochure advertising a tour, visitors to many important places, would have taken the career of the Beatles.
Clock to ten in the morning we met our guide Richard and about two dozen other Beatles fans just outside the studio, where the first film of the Beatles Yellow Submarine was. Richard had written a book about the Beatles and had a folder of photographs he had taken from the famous quartet. He was averitable walking encyclopedia of Beatles trivia. He told us that Yellow Submarine is one of the most popular film of Queen Elizabeth.
The second leg of our tour was the publishing company MPL, which is owned by Paul McCartney. The M stands for his name and the P and L to his name and that of his late wife Linda. The music is wildly successful company. It owns the rights to hundreds of popular songs and soundtracks for musicals like Annie and fats.
Richard led us to furtherGentleman's Washroom sign marking the location of a public toilet. Apparently in 1966, John Lennon made an appearance in a British television program. In a scene filmed John in this special laundry room was going. It was in this TV show, John was wearing glasses my grandmother's signature for the first time. These glasses started a fashion craze that has lasted years. Richard also told us a resourceful person holding the roll of toilet paper used in the John LennonGentleman's Bath that day. E 'went on sale on E-Bay for thousands of pounds.
Our tour continued with stops at the apple production studios, where the band gave their last concert on the roof in 1969. We saw the London Library. The original scores for many of the songs of the Beatles are on show. We stopped at the Palladium Theater, where the Beatles gave their first concert and Trident Studios, where he was shot Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Our guide, Richard put the rest voicethat the title of the song for the drug LSD. Apparently the story is true is that John Lennon's son Julian came home from school one day and showed his father a drawing of imagination had created stained. When his father asked him what he called his image, he said, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," John wrote a song about it.
The highlight of the tour was the visit of the Abbey Road Studios, in perhaps the most famous Beatles album Abbey Road was recorded. The cover of theThe album shows the four singers to cross the road at a pedestrian crossing. The intersection is actually quite busy, but I waited patiently for the camera with a picture of my man in the street at the exact point where the Beatles had their photos for the album Abbey Road signed.
Later we stopped to buy Beatles T-shirt and then farewell to Richard, our guide. Our passage was Magical Mystery Tour
