| Detail : | This double album is the soundtrack to an 88 minute movie from 20th Century Fox, which features black and white
World War II newsreel footage and clips from feature films put to the sounds of the sixties ...
in fact, guest stars performing Lennon/McCartney songs.
A memorably sarcastic musical coupling occurs in the film when footage of Hitler at his mountain retreat in Berchtesgaden is shown accompanied by "The Fool On The Hill" ! The film is directed by Susie Winslow, produced by Sandy Lieberson and Martin J. Machat, from a dream by Russ Regan (Executive Producer)
Music Director, Lou Reizner. The Bee Gees actually recorded six of the songs, the other three being "Lovely Rita", "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and "She's Leaving Home", but their vocals were replaced when other artists became available. The gatefold sleeve contains the two albums in inner sleeves that contain all the lyrics. Some lyrics are slightly altered from the copyrighted work to "meet the artistic requirements of the performers". Also enclosed is a large poster with splendid drawings of each of the guest stars. The complete package design, and the illustrations were by Clyde Terry and Jack Room.
