Product Description
Magical Mystery Tour is the title of the eleven-song LP and six-song dual EP by The Beatles. It was initially put out as a dual EP on November 27th 1967 & on December 8th 1967 as an LP. It is basically the soundtrack to an hour-long TV movie with the identical title that was initially aired in the UK in 1967 in Black & White. Magical Mystery Tour the film and record are about roaming around and doing drugs in a similar way as Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. Or, you can possibly debate that the song does not suggest the acid trip itself, but the other explanation would be a summons to get on a bus with them and join up with their journey. For the TV movie, The Beatles decided to charter a psychedelic bus, take an excursion into the UK countryside, and record the consequences, no matter how off the wall or dull. With a varied troupe of characters, the group essentially travels about the countryside with intermittent music to give the movie a bit of flow. Magical Mystery Tour opened to miserable reviews and disapproval. But, there was great acclaim for the music, especially the trippy Lennon song "I Am The Walrus". Magical Mystery Tour was the movie that the Beatles exerted total creative control which ends up building their legends to even higher heights. Not even the picture's disapproving reviews could do anything to alter that. I would advise the latest generation of Beatle fanatics to put the Magical Mystery Tour Movie close to the bottom of their DVD's-to-watch list, however by no means to leave it off their list entirely. Though lacking coherence, Magical Mystery Tour gives us still one more insight into the Beatles music and minds. However, the Magical Mystery Tour the album is required listening for even the most casual Beatles fan. Compared to their other psychedelic masterpiece album, Sgt. Pepper, there is no inclusive unified concept or theme to the album, which has caused Magical Mystery Tour suffer somewhat in relationship. A number of of the songs were even from it's sister Sgt. Pepper sessions, but had been missing from that album because they were put out as a single. That's a choice that George Martin said he regretted. The ballad "The Fool on the Hill," is one of the most well-liked Beatle songs from the period. If Sgt. Peppers was never put out, Magical Mystery Tour would have been its alternative and it most probably would have been regarded as the big celebrated psychedelic Beatles record. Just a degree short of Sgt. Peppers originality, Magical Mystery Tour was tremendously experimental, colorful and exciting. The Beatles in reality were the masters.
