Period Overview

The Period after Sgt. Pepper contains songs that appeared on a mix of singles, LPs, and a double-EP.

There was no Magical Mystery Tour LP put out by the Beatles. They released a double-EP called Magical Mystery Tour to go with their made-for-TV movie of the same name. This double-EP had six songs, too few for an LP, so Capitol Records in the US took those six and put them on side one of an LP. Side two contained five songs released on singles in 1967 ('I Am The Walrus' was on both the double-EP and B-side of a single). Eventually this LP was released by EMI in the UK, and it later became a CD.

While recording songs for Magical Mystery Tour, the Beatles also recorded songs for the movie Yellow Submarine. Four of these wound up on that soundtrack album. Two other songs went unreleased until later, one on a single, the other on the Let It Be album.

Magical Mystery Tour is an album by the English rock band the Beatles that was released as a double EP in the United Kingdom and an LP in the United States. Produced by George Martin, it includes the soundtrack to the 1967 film of the same name. The EP was issued in the UK on 8 December 1967 on the Parlophone label, while the Capitol Records LP release in the US occurred on 27 November and featured eleven tracks with the addition of songs from the band's 1967 singles. The first release as an eleven-track LP in the UK did not occur until 1976.

Despite widespread media criticism of the Magical Mystery Tour film, the soundtrack was a critical and commercial success and a number one Grammy-nominated album in the US. When EMI issued the Beatles' catalogue on compact disc in 1987, the track listing of the 1967 US LP was adopted rather than the six-song UK release.

Background[edit]

Pictured while filming a sequence for 'I Am the Walrus'

After the Beatles completed Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in April 1967, Paul McCartney wanted to create a film that captured a psychedelic theme similar to that represented by author and LSD proponent Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters on the US West Coast.[5][6] Titled Magical Mystery Tour, the film was to be unscripted: various 'ordinary' people were to travel on a coach and have unspecified 'magical' adventures.[7] The Beatles recorded the song 'Magical Mystery Tour', but the film idea then lay dormant as the band continued recording songs for the United Artists animated film Yellow Submarine and, in the case of 'All You Need Is Love', for their appearance on the Our World satellite broadcast on 25 June. The death of their manager, Brian Epstein, in late August, which the Beatles learned of while attending a Transcendental Meditation seminar in Wales,[8] led to the Magical Mystery Tour film becoming a reality.[9] During a band meeting in early September, McCartney suggested they proceed with the film,[10] to ensure the group had a point of focus while coming to terms with the loss of their manager.[11][12]

Designed as a television special, Magical Mystery Tour included six new songs: the title track, 'I Am the Walrus', 'The Fool on the Hill', 'Blue Jay Way', 'Flying' and 'Your Mother Should Know'. The number of songs posed a challenge for the Beatles and their UK record company, EMI, as there were too few for an LP album but too many for an EP.[13] One idea considered was to issue an EP which played at 33⅓rpm but this would have caused a loss of audio fidelity that was deemed unacceptable. The solution chosen was to issue the music in the innovative format of a double EP.[14][15]

Because EPs were not popular in the US at the time, Capitol Records released the soundtrack as an LP by adding tracks from that year's non-album singles.[13][16] The Beatles were displeased about this, since they believed that tracks released on a single should not then appear on a new album.[13][17] The first side of the Capitol LP contained the film soundtrack songs (like earlier British Beatles soundtrack albums), while the second side contained both sides of the band's two singles released up to this point in 1967, along with 'Hello, Goodbye', which would be issued as their new single in November. Three of the previously released tracks – 'Penny Lane', 'Baby, You're a Rich Man' and 'All You Need Is Love' – were presented in duophonic (or 'processed') stereo sound on Capitol's stereo version of the LP.[13][18] In a 1968 interview, John Lennon told Rolling Stone magazine: 'It's not an album, you see. It turned into an album over here, but it was just [meant to be] the music from the film.'[19]

Artwork and packaging[edit]

As part of the unusual format, the Beatles decided to package the two EPs in a gatefold sleeve with a 24-page booklet.[14][20] The latter contained song lyrics, colour photos from film production, and colour story illustrations in the comic strip style[14] by Beatles Book cartoonist Bob Gibson.[13] Of the double-EP package, film studies academic Bob Neaverson later commented: 'While it certainly solved the song quota problem, one suspects that it was also partly born of the Beatles' pioneering desire to experiment with conventional formats and packaging.'[21]

When preparing the US release, Capitol enlarged the photos and illustrations to LP size to serve as a booklet inside a gatefold album sleeve.[20] The cover design for both the EP and LP releases was done by John Van Hamersveld, the head of Capitol's art department, rather than by EMI in London.[22] The lyrics to the film songs were also printed inside the gatefold itself. In the late 1970s, Capitol deleted the 24-page booklet from the album and removed mention of it from the front album cover.

Release[edit]

Magical Mystery Tour was issued in the UK on 8 December 1967, just over two weeks before the film was broadcast by BBC-TV.[23] It retailed at the sub-£1 price of 19s 6d[13] (equivalent to £17 today). With the broadcast rights for North America assigned to NBC, the Capitol album was scheduled for a mid-December release.[24] The company instead issued the album on 27 November. In Britain only, the film was then screened on Boxing Day to an audience estimated at 15 million.[7] It was savaged by reviewers, giving the Beatles their first critical failure.[25][26][nb 1]

Magical Mystery Tour was number 1 on Billboard's Top LPs listings for eight weeks at the start of 1968 and remained in the top 200 until 8 February 1969.[27] It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1969.[28] In Britain, the EP peaked at number 2 on the national singles chart,[29] behind 'Hello, Goodbye',[30] and became the Beatles' ninth release to top the national EP chart compiled by Record Retailer.[31] In the UK singles listings compiled by Melody Maker magazine, it replaced 'Hello, Goodbye' at number 1 for a week.[32]

The 2012 remastered Magical Mystery TourDVD entered the Billboard Top Music Video chart at number 1. The CD album climbed to number 1 on the Billboard Catalog Albums chart, number 2 on the Billboard Soundtrack albums chart, and re-entered at number 57 on the Billboard 200 albums chart for the week ending 27 October 2012.[33]

Reviewing the EP a month before the film's screening, Nick Logan of the NME enthused that the Beatles were 'at it again, stretching pop music to its limits'. He continued: 'The four musician-magicians take us by the hand and lead us happily tripping through the clouds, past Lucy in the sky with diamonds and the fool on the hill, into the sun-speckled glades along Blue Jay Way and into the world of Alice in Wonderland …. This is The Beatles out there in front and the rest of us in their wake.'[44][45] Bob Dawbarn of Melody Maker described the EP as 'six tracks which no other pop group in the world could begin to approach for originality combined with the popular touch'.[46] In Record Mirror, Norman Jopling wrote that, whereas on Sgt. Pepper 'the effects were chiefly sound and only the album cover was visual', on Magical Mystery Tour 'the visual side … has dominated the music', such that '[e]verything from fantasy, children's comics, acid (psychedelic) humour is included on the record and in the booklet.'[47]

Magical Mystery Tour was a lot goopier than Sgt. Pepper, though lifted by the cheerful 'All You Need Is Love' and the ghostly 'Strawberry Fields Forever.' Her Majesty the Queen had the best comment: 'The Beatles are turning awfully funny, aren't they?'[42]

– Rolling Stone critic Rob Sheffield, 2004

Among reviews of the American LP, Mike Jahn of Saturday Review hailed Magical Mystery Tour as the Beatles' best work yet, superior to Sgt. Pepper in emotion and depth, and 'distinguished by its description of the Beatles' acquired Hindu philosophy and its subsequent application to everyday life'.[48]Hit Parader said that 'the beautiful Beatles do it again, widening the gap between them and 80 scillion other groups.' Remarking on how the Beatles and their producer 'present a supreme example of team work', the reviewer compared the album with the Rolling Stones' concurrent release, Their Satanic Majesties Request, and opined that 'I Am the Walrus' and 'Blue Jay Way' alone 'accomplish what the Stones attempted'.[49]

The album review in Rolling Stone consisted of a single-sentence quote from John Lennon: 'There are only about 100 people in the world who understand our music.'[50][nb 2]Robert Christgau of Esquire considered three of the five new songs to be 'disappointing', including 'The Fool on the Hill', which, he wrote, 'may be the worst song the Beatles have ever recorded'. Christgau still found the album 'worth buying', however, 'for all the singles, which are good music, after all; for the tender camp of 'Your Mother Should Know'; and especially for Harrison's hypnotic 'Blue Jay Way,' an adaptation of Oriental modes in which everything works, lyrics included'.[52]

Beatles Magical Mystery Tour Lyrics

Release history[edit]

In 1969 and 1971, the previously unavailable true-stereo mixes were created,[13] which allowed the first true-stereo version of the Magical Mystery Tour LP to be issued in Germany in 1971.[53] As an American import, the Capitol LP peaked on the British album charts at number 31 in January 1968.[54][55] In the face of continued public demand, EMI officially released the Capitol LP version of Magical Mystery Tour in the UK in November 1976,[13] although, notwithstanding the availability of the true-stereo mixes, it used the Capitol masters with fake stereo.

When standardising the Beatles' releases for the worldwide compact disc release in 1987, EMI issued Magical Mystery Tour as a full-length album in true stereo, using the track lineup of the original American LP version.[56][nb 3] The inclusion of the 1967 singles on CD with this album meant that the Magical Mystery Tour CD would be of comparable length to the band's CDs of its original albums, and that the additional five tracks originally featured on the American LP would not need to be included on Past Masters, a two-volume compilation designed to accompany the initial CD album releases and provide all non-album tracks (mostly singles) on CD format.[57]

In 1992 the EP version of Magical Mystery Tour was reissued in both mono and stereo as part of a box set containing CD versions of the Beatles original UK EPs. The album (along with the Beatles' entire UK studio album catalogue) was remastered and reissued on CD in 2009. Acknowledging the album's conception and first release, the CD incorporates the original Capitol LP label design. The remastered stereo CD features a mini-documentary about the album. Initial copies of the album accidentally list the mini-documentary to be one made for Let It Be. The mono album was reissued as part of The Beatles in Mono CD and LP box sets. The 2009 packaging includes the 24-page booklet from the original, reduced in size in the case of the CD. In 2012 the album was reissued on vinyl, using the 2009 remasters and the US track lineup and including the 24-page booklet.

Question: Hello, a friend of mine wants me to sell his Beatles “Magical Mystery Tour” soundtrack. It has only ever been played 12 times, is in very good condition and it’s one of the originals produced by The Beatles made in England. (Is that uncommon?) It is a 1967 Capitol SMAL-2835 release, and includes the 24-page full color picture book, also in good condition. I am wondering where I could find some info about this release that would set a reasonable grounds for going about knowing how much it’d sell for. Also where could this possibly be appraised, or does Goldmine have a guide?
— Idle, via e-mail

Answer: Yes, Goldmine does have a guide — check out the “Goldmine Standard Catalog of American Records 1948-1991,” available at http://shop.collect.com — but I’m afraid your friend’s copy of “Magical Mystery Tour” may not be one of the higher-priced Beatles albums you’ll find there.

As with all Beatles’ albums, the soundtrack to the 1967 British television Christmas special went through a lot of different printings, each of which has its own appeal (or lack thereof) for serious collectors. Yours is a stereo copy, so the first thing to do is check the label and make sure it really is an original. The label should be black with a rainbow edge, with the words “mfd by Capitol Records Inc USA TM” on the lower left-hand edge. Capitol repressed the album in 1969, but with the additional text “a Subsidiary of Capitol Industries Inc.” The 1967 date and the “made in England” information remained the same. Regarding value, the first pressing is by far the most desirable; the 1969 version tends to sell for around half the earlier disc’s value, with subsequent reissues, on green (1969), orange (1976) and purple (1988) labels declining even further. As always, however, condition is paramount. Though it has been played just a dozen times, be aware that the Mint value of the record has already been chipped away.

Question: I’m new at the record collecting stuff, but I’m having a blast thanks to the newest edition of your price guide. Also, I recently bought a Superman comic album; it has a comic book and record together, and I’ve also seen some Spider-Man records in local antique shops, and I’m curious if they’re worth anything or how I could find out.

Answer: Overstreet’s price guide describes the “Superman Record Comic” (1966, Golden Records) as, “Record reads origin of Superman from comic; came with iron-on patch, decoder, membership card & button; comic reprints Superman #125, #146.” If this matches what you have, the complete set in Good condition is $14. In perfect shape, it’d be $260. The comic only would be $8 in Good, $130 in perfect. The problem? Finding a buyer. We checked on eBay for “superman lp record” and found a mix of records and prices. As for Spider-Man … there are a bunch of Spider-Man records. We suggest you get specifics, then check eBay’s “Buy It Now” listings using the keywords “spider-man lp record” to gauge prices.
