Question
Ok Steve...I hope you can answer this one.  I know just about everything about Beatles myself..but one thing bugs me.

Ok..there are 3 stanzas in Magical Mystery Tour.  1st and 3rd
a singer sings "That's an invitation to make a reservation"

The 2nd stanza the singer (john) sings "We got everything you need satisfaction guaranteed"

I know it is john in 2nd stanza..and paul "invitation on 3rd stanza..

my question is  who sings the 1st  stanza  "thats an invitation to make a reservation"  the voice is slow or slowed down and hangs on invitation, and reservation

is it Ringo, mal evans?  I have not read or heard in any interview who sings that line.

Answer
Heya Tom
 After you sent me this question, I decided to listen to the couple different versions I have.
 After listening to it about 10 times, I feel that its John. I've heard John sing in this octave on some of his solo stuff - Some of the stuff from him "Walls And Bridges" sessions, he sings in this key (it sounds almost as if Lennon is recovering from an alcoholic binge - With his voice being this low)
 Send me a private email, and if you'd like include your email address - LOL
  I'll take you up on that sentence you write, about knowing just about everything
Tell me what you think of my choice as John doing vocals on stanza one as well
 Take care
