A special boxed deluxe edition will also include both the DVD and Blu-ray version of the film, as well as a 60-page book and 7″ vinyl EP of the film’s six new Beatles songs, which were originally issued in the UK to complement the film’s 1967 release.

The film features a supporting cast including Ivor Cutler, comedy actors Victor Spinetti, Jessie Robins, Nat Jackley, Derek Royle and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.
