Magical Mystery Tour (album)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

This article is about The Beatles album Magical Mystery Tour. For the Liverpool sightseeing tour see the Magical Mystery Tour (coach trip)

Magical Mystery Tour is an album and double EP by the English rock band, The Beatles, first released in late 1967. The double EP was recorded at the end of an extremely creative 18-month period.

It is also a one-hour television film that originally aired in the UK in 1967. After critical and public response to the premiere proved negative, US plans to air the film on ABC Television were cancelled, and Magical Mystery Tour didn't appear in the US until 1976, as a theatrical release on the midnight movies and college circuits.

History of the project

After Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Paul McCartney wanted to create a film based upon The Beatles and their music. The film was to be unscripted: various "ordinary" people (including John Lennon's uncle Charlie) were to travel on a charabanc bus and have unspecified "magical" adventures, in the manner of Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters.

The Magical Mystery Tour movie was made, but it turned out that no interesting adventures actually occurred — at least, none that would have suited the original concept. During the filming, more and more cars followed the hand-lettered bus, hoping to see what its passengers were up to, until a running traffic jam had developed. The spectacle ended after Lennon angrily tore the lettering off the sides of the bus.

This was the first Beatles film project following the death of manager Brian Epstein, in August 1967, and there has been much speculation that the absence of Epstein's judgment contributed to its undisciplined production, such as the lack of a screenplay and professional direction.

The film originally appeared twice on BBC-TV over the 1967 Christmas holidays, but was savaged by critics on its release; however, it has been praised by filmakers like Steven Spielberg.

The soundtrack itself was far more favorably received. It was released in the UK in December 1967 as a double EP. The American version was released in late November 1967 as an LP; its cover depicts the original EP in an orange border, with a list of song titles above it. The Magical Mystery Tour LP was divided into two halves, with the first side being the actual movie soundtrack, and the second side a collection of A and B-sides released in 1967.

The first side, identical to the British EP, was a prime example of music from the psychedelic era, opening with the rollicking title track, and including "Blue Jay Way", an evocative mood piece by George Harrison; the nostalgia-laced "Your Mother Should Know"; "Fool on the Hill", an introspective mood piece by McCartney; and "Flying", one of only three Beatles instrumentals (the first being the very early, and often forgotten, "Cry for a Shadow"; the second, "12-Bar Original").

"I Am the Walrus", at the end of side one, is one of the Beatles' more startling, avant-garde creations. Full of crashing orchestras and dubbed vocals, it was Lennon's response to learning that an English master at his alma mater, Quarry Bank Grammar School, was having his class analyze Beatles songs.

The songs on side two were the band's non-album singles from the period. To keep to its release schedule, Capitol Records used a stereo simulator on the monaural master tapes, rather than wait for the stereo tapes to be sent over from Britain. Even so, the seemingly random choice of songs showed the band at its creative peak.

Side two is anchored by two starkly contrasting, semi-autobiographical songs: Lennon's "Strawberry Fields Forever" and McCartney's "Penny Lane". Originally released as a double A-side single, Lennon's "Fields" was a dark and troubled account of childhood memories, while bandmate McCartney's "Penny Lane" was a light-hearted and poppy treatment of the same subject. Both songs had, in fact, been recorded at the beginning of the Sgt. Pepper sessions, but had been left off that album, a decision that producer George Martin later regretted[citation needed].

The remaining tracks on side two include McCartney's counter (and A-side) to "I Am the Walrus", the effervescent "Hello, Goodbye"; and the Lennon-McCartney collaboration, "Baby You're a Rich Man" (actually the first song recorded specifically for The Beatles' animated film, Yellow Submarine, which would be released to theatres one year later). Lennon's jaunty "All You Need Is Love" (which was the anthem of the Our World program, and, some would argue, of the flower power movement, as well), finishes the LP.

When standardizing The Beatles' releases for compact disc in the late 1980s, the American LP version (which had actually sold better in the UK as an import than the double EP[citation needed], and was issued by Parlophone Records in Britain during 1976) was included with the British album lineups instead of the British EP, with true stereo recordings replacing the earlier processed ones. (The true-stereo version of the Magical Mystery Tour LP was first issued in Germany in 1971, but the 1976 Parlophone issue used the Capitol masters with the fake stereo.) Capitol quietly reissued the Magical Mystery Tour LP using the German masters in the USA with catalogue number C1-48061 in true stereo. The remaining Beatles non-LP single sides were compiled as Past Masters, Volume One and Past Masters, Volume Two.
