Now that Mardi Gras has ended last week, New Orleanians can Get Back to other matters. In my case, the Beatles. Mardi Gras is a colorful, magical time. The two Beatles films that best exemplify that exciting time are Magical Mystery Tour and Yellow Submarine. In honor of Mardi Gras 2026, 498 Productions is putting the book The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour & Yellow Submarine on sale today through March 1.

 The standard hardcover edition is priced at $22. Add the digital for only $10 with our Hardcover + Digital bundle or get the Digital only version for $15. There are also limited quantities of scratched and dented copies for $10. These are perfect for those who want a “working copy” of the book or who just want to save money.

For those who want the full experience, the Collector’s Edition is on sale for $67 (normally $100). Like all Collector’s Edition books, it comes in an O-case along with a special poster and bookmark. In addition, this extra special edition has TWO colorful, magical giant postcards of Eric Cash paintings, one for each film. This is my favorite set of Collector’s Edition goodies from my Beatles Album Series!

In honor of George Harrison’s birthday (February 25, 1943), I am sharing images of two floats from the 2026 Krewe of Rex parade with mystical beings and lotus flowers that would have caught George’s interest. And for those of you with sharp eyes, you may have noticed that in the photograph at the of the page, also from the Rex parade, I am wearing a Flash T-shirt, which seems appropriate for our “Flash Sale.”
