Magical Mystery Tour
The Animals
The Beatles are dressed up as animals that you would find at a zoo. Witnesses at the scene of Ringo's death confirm that Ringo was near the walrus exhibit when he was crushed by the elephant. (Clue submitted by Matthew DiTullio)

LOOK?
Like the front cover of Sgt. Peppers, part of the album title is straight whilst the rest is curved (remember the bass drum). If the middle part was mirrored then we got a hidden message, so using the same logic could a hidden message be hidden in the same way on the Magical Mystery Tour front cover? If the word 'TOUR' is mirrored down the middle so that the bottom half is being doubled we get the word LOOK. Could this be telling us to 'look' for clues?
The Phone Number
If the front cover is held upside down the word BEATLES turns into seven digits. Could these digits (5371438) be a phone number? According to one story if this phone number was called in America at 3pm on a Saturday (the supposed time of Ringo's death) you'd get the message "You're getting closer." before the line went dead. However, if this phone number was called in London it was said that the caller would get one of three responses. Either you would have gotten through to a funeral parlour, an angry resident who was getting tired of all these calls at 3pm every Saturday, or someone who claimed to be Billy Shears. Apparently if you got through to Billy he would quiz you on Beatle trivia before promising to send you tickets to 'Pepperland'. It was reported in a Washington DC Underground newspaper that three students from Michigan got through to Billy Shears and actually received such tickets. The envelopes received had the initials A.D.N. on them in inside there was a stamp that the receiver was instructed to lick. Apparently these stamps were laced with LSD and after licking it one student fell out of a window to his death. The second student claimed to have already visited Pepperland in the Carribbean Sea and was planning to return on the then upcoming November 27th. The third student however, when questioned, just laughed.
MOST?
If you start from the first letter M in the song title 'Magical Mystery Tour' and move in an anticlockwise direction in a circle the word MOST is spelled out. Could this be telling us that 'most' of the clues can be found within the Magical Mystery Tour LP?
Back Cover
R.I.P?
The back cover is a very psychedelic mirror-ball like photo of the last scene of the Magical Mystery Tour movie. It seems to be a random pattern, but if the cover is turned 90 degrees clockwise the white figures seem to be spelling out the letters RIP. But who is 'Resting in Peace'?
Five Members
Look closely at the back cover and you see this. Why are there 5 people here instead of four? They all look different so it can't be one member being shown twice, so we need to ask who the new band member is. Is this showing Timothy Moyd, the person who supposedly replaced Ringo, as the fifth Beatle?
The Headless Man
Also if you look closely you'll see this grizzly image. Amongst one group of people this image of a decapitated man can be seen. Now, it may just be a mirror effect, but why is the cut between the shoulders and the neck so clean? The rest of the mirrored images all have a fade effect. Is this possibly referring to Ringo getting decapitated in the fatal accident?
