At first, I was a bit apprehensive taking a guided bus tour around the Beatles Liverpool considering the cost per person was £16.95 (€23.00 approx). My son accompanied me, he's a big Beatles fan and so took the tour together. But my apprehensions were proved wrong and I can say that anyone who appreciates the Beatles and their music, should not leave Liverpool going on the two hour Magical Mystery Tour and no regrets whatsoever. As usual, the bus was filled to capacity and it seems every one enjoyed the tour as much as we did. There were stops along the way for people to get out for a closer look at the sights and photo opportunities too. We were very fortunate to have excellent weather on the day.
Our tour guide was Jay Johnson who incidentally, is the younger brother of Holly Johnson, lead singer of the Frankie goes to Hollywood pop group. Our driver was Ross. Jay was an excellent guide who regaled us with Beatles facts, stories and amusing anecdotes interspersed with Beatles songs. His knowledge was matched by his enthusiasm.
The bus we toured in was F4 MMT (registered 1988/1989) and built by the Kässbohrer-Setra German bus manufacturers. The bus' livery was painted to resemble the original one used in the 1967 Beatles Magical Mystery Tour film.

Maghull Coaches Plaxton Elite bodied Bedford VAL SCK 56 K was new to Smith's Imperial, Birminghamr and originally registered DOE 111 K. It is branded for The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour of Liverpool and is pictured on layover in Liverpool city centre.
Operated by Maghull Coaches (Reilly), Bootle is C758 FMC which is a Leyland Royal Tiger with Plaxton Paramount 3500 coachwork.
It is employed on the daily "Magical Mystery Tour" weaving it's way around various Liverpool suburbs on a 2 hour exploration of places connected with The Beatles.
I had the pleasure of travelling on this lovely coach earlier in the week enjoying the sound effects of that TL11 engine purring through the semi-automatic gearbox.
If only the bloke giving the commentary would have kept quiet!
It was new to Armchair, Brentford in 1986 although had probably hung about Arlington's Leyland dealership for a while as it carried a 1984 Plaxton body.

The Beatles have been a huge part of my life.
Their music creates a state of bizarre tranquility and peace that nothing else can match.
This is the home where George was born and lived in with his parents, sister and two brothers until 1950. During his years with the Beatles, George would use the pseudonym Arnold Grove to avoid the unwanted attentions of crowds while staying at various hotels, etc. Number 12 is the forth door up from the end (with the open upstairs window).

Yesterday, 8 March, record producer George Martin (1926-2016) passed away. Martin helped the Beatles achieve unparalleled global success after hearing one of their demo tapes in 1962, when a number of other labels had previously turned them down. The ‘fifth Beatle’ was a talented musician and producer who oversaw landmark albums and helped the band to stretch the boundaries of sound recording.
George Henry Martin was a carpenter's son from North London. Having taught himself to play the piano, he was running his own dance band at school by the time he was 16. He attended The Guildhall School of Music after five years in the British Fleet Air Army. In 1950, he started producing records for EMI’s Parlophone label and was noted for his comedy recordings with the likes of Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and a young Peter Cook and Jonathan Miller. The Goons connection quickly endeared him to the Beatles. While Martin was initially sceptical about their ability as musicians and songwriters, he took to their humour and personalities immediately. Memorably George Harrison told him: “I don’t like your tie for a start” when Martin asked him if they disliked anything about the set up. So, Martin was willing to take a chance on The Beatles's innovative version of American R&B. In November 1962, the band recorded Please Please Me, with Martin suggesting they speed the song up. As they finished, Martin told them from the control room: “Gentleman you have just made your first No 1 record” – which became true in the New Musical Express chart (although it was No 2 in the Record Retailer chart which became the official UK chart).
After his groundbreaking work with the Beatles, Martin had earned his ticket to ride, and he worked with a spectrum of luminaries including Jeff Beck, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, America, Jimmy Webb, Kenny Rogers, Ultravox and Elton John. He produced Shirley Bassey’s theme song for the Bond movie Goldfinger (1964), and composed the score for a further Bond, Live and Let Die (1973), as well as producing its title song, which was performed by Paul McCartney and Wings. The Beatles were always quick to credit Sir George’s central role in the creation of the band’s sound. Before his death at the hands of Marc Chapman in 1980, Lennon said: “George had done little or no rock 'n' roll when we met him and we'd never been in a studio so we did a lot of learning together." Sir Paul McCartney paid tribute to a “great man”, saying : “He was a true gentleman and like a second father to me. He guided the career of The Beatles with such skill and good humour that he became a true friend to me and my family. If anyone earned the title of the fifth Beatle it was George.”

Bueno adiós.
