5 days before “Magical Mystery Tour” premiered on BBC-TV, on December 21, 1967, The Beatles had their usual New Year’s Eve party, only this time, it was going to have a twist. distinct.
Curiously, at the suggestion of John Lennon, the idea was to have a party in honor of the film, and the slogan was a “costume party.”
It was an event, in principle, reserved for intimates. All the Beatles attended, with their wives (and Paul’s girlfriend, Jane Asher), the Apple Store staff, various friends, and family members (for example, John’s father Alfred Lennon attended).
They made an invitation card that said, “Costume Party: Magical Mystery Tour.”
