The soundtrack recordings were issued in England as a double EP with accompanying booklet. Capitol Records in the US added stereo (and mock-stereo) versions of recent Beatles singles, and issued an LP with an enlarged copy of the booklet. The LP actually sold better as an import in England than the EP, and a British version was issued ten years later.
While the film bombed both times it appeared on British television, and was never broadcast by the US networks, it did become a modest success on the American midnight and college movie circuits in the 1970s. As in the case of reruns of their 1965 Shea Stadium NYC concert, this film has been shown sporadicly on US independent and public TV stations.
This film features the only footage of John Lennon performing "I Am The Walrus".
Paul McCartney took a a few friends and a camera to the South of France to film the "Fool on the Hill" sequence which was (as he later conceded) against union rules.
The house band near the end of the film can be heard singing "Death Cab for Cutie" in the background of the song. This was the inspiration for the Grammy-nominated band of the same name.
