The album feels even more like a collection of singles (instead of an actual movie soundtrack) than Help! or A Hard Day's Night, but maybe that's because every song sounds like it could have been a hit single--with the natural exception of the goofy/weird instrumental "Flying." Even George's "Blue Jay Way" paints a vivid sound-portrait in fascinating detail. (I consider Joni Mitchell's "Car on the Hill" from Court and Spark to be a companion piece about sitting in the Hollywood Hills, waiting for somebody to show up.) And although the goofy TV movie may have been mostly Paul's baby, this album features the two 45 rpm masterpieces that sum up the quintessential best of Lennon and McCartney at this stage of their development: Paul's "Penny Lane" and John's "I Am the Walrus." --Jim Emerson

I ordered Magical Mystery Tour at a second-hand price. After a minimal amount of playing, it became useless. Unplayable. I will never do this again.

The Fab Four lost their manager, Brian Epstein, in late August, 1967. Somewhat rudderless, and with time on their hands because they were no longer performing live, the group needed a new project after their groundbreaking "Sgt. Pepper" release earlier that summer. They decided to make a TV movie, and, unfortunately, decided to handle it themselves. "Magical Mystery Tour" was filmed hastily in September 1967, and demonstrates, conclusively, that, for all their musical brilliance, the Beatles themselves ... Read More

The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour often is not mentioned due too the fact Sgt. Peppers came out that same year. On this album The Beatles are obviously becoming more experimental and using many more affects and trying too be more psychedelic. Well it worked on songs such as, "Flying", and "Blue Jay Way", are extremly psychedelic songs using lots of affects. This album was also the last of The Beatles making really acid rock albums and after 1967 The Beatles started too fall apart. The songs on here have all ... Read More
