Poor quality video, not as I remember it, it appears the original must have deteriorated over the years.....but the songs are still great!
Magical? Not really.

This release is horrible. It's just a straight copy from a VHS not a master tape. The sound quality is average and the picture quality is poor. Unless you're a desperate Beatles fanatic I'd suggest wait for an official DVD release (if ever) or rent a VHS copy from your local library and save the money.
Never have I hated a movie I wanted to love so much...

Never have I hated a movie I wanted to love so much...The quality is less than poor, story unintelligable, the only good thing is the music. Even that is less than par, considering the scenes that they are incorparated with. I'm sorry, Beatles, truly I am.
The VHS is/was great quality!

I don't own this product, and from the reviews posted, I won't ever own it. I do, however, own the VHS version that was released in 1987. It was an official Apple release, and the quality is superb, both picture quality and sound quality. Fans please note that the songs that are in the movie have entirely different audio mixes than the mixes that appeared on the MMT album. So Magical Mystery Tour, Fool On the Hill, Flying, Blue Jay Way, Your Mother Should Know and I Am The Walrus all have unique mixes on the soundtrack that you can't find anywhere else, and on the VHS tape these mixes sound really great in VHS Hi-Fi (gosh, remember that?) IMO, these mixes blow the "regular" mixes of these songs away.
The tape is still easy to find and reasonably priced. Again, its quality is superb and I'm sure puts this DVD to shame.
Buyer beware!

This dvd is not a good investment. It looks like it's been copied from a bad copy. I bought one of these and almost threw it away. I resisted the urge, but it's almost unwatchable, the picture is so distorted.
The best course of action in acquiring Magical Mystery Tour is to find one of the VHS versions that are an actual Apple product. The movie is a stretch (even for die hard fans), but those VHS versions can be found in good shape, and let you see it clearly.
