Event Description

During the flight back to London with Mal Evans, followingtheir week-long holiday in San Francisco, Denver, and Los Angeles, PaulMcCartney worked up his initial concept for the Magical Mystery Tour soundtrack and television special.With the impending release of the album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, McCartney had moved on to the ‘next big thing’ — a Trippy TV show. Paul sketched out this ‘map’ of how the show might go, with the basics for such critical elements like ‘Yellow Coach’, ‘Lunch’, a ‘Busty Hostess’, a ‘Laboratory’ scene {better living thru chemistry}, lots of ‘Dream’ sequences as well as the mandatory ‘Stripper and Band’.
