The movie is old stills and stock footage that has been hand colored so it
sort of looks like Yellow Submarine. There are a few good songs on that
album, Faces doing Get Back, Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne and that great version of
Strawberry Fields that Peter Gabriel does. For reasons unknown this has
never come out on cd. Must be some licensing thing. Lou Reisner did the
film..
