The LP has such a crazy song lineup, just classic after classic the whole way through. Props to Harrison, Blue Jay Way still sounds so ahead of its time
@@PaulFormentos It's a dog eat dog industry but it's hard to pity anyone in it that who reached any degree of success much less such a great degree of success. Almost all involved will cry at times they got screwed regardless. Human nature perhaps.
@@PaulFormentos do you really believe the narrative of the official story in regards to being so simply explained? I often wonder what we don't know as outsiders, we will never know the dead man's version..
Musical taste is subjective but degree of success is objective. I personally find it impossible to choose a favorite anything regarding The Beatles because at any given time any of it can be a favorite.
In America, MMTour is a full album with singles (great songs and tracks) added to the EP that was released in England. The EP is ok, but the album version is amazing!
I m in my late 60s and i followed the beatles since they started.They were criticised on their every move by the press .The magical Miystery tour film was shown on boxing day in black and white we all had small black and white valve small screen t v s It got criticised heavily. I found a copy on blue ray and i watch it occasionally on my 59 inch Panasonic screen. All i can say is it is definitely a work of a 1960s masterpiece. The Beatles always beat their critics .Peace and love from Rob❤
Agreed. Music and movie critics have long since developed deservedly poor reputations. So many absolute masterworks have been released and gone _right_ over their head. Which is even funnier considering that typically their position on them - whether stated explicitly or merely implied - is that the works were beneath their "keenly refined" tastes (🙄👌🏻). While often at the same time giving high marks to forgettable cannon fodder. I particularly enjoy when publications and critics like Rolling Stone for instance, come back many years later to _re-review_ records they had initially panned upon their release.
I'm now 61, and I have no idea what you're talking about. The Beatles were the media darlings! They could do NO wrong! That is, until MMT movie, and the so-called, "White Album", and for good reasons. Don't get me wrong, as the MM T album itself was great, but the movie was awful.
I think it's a great album. The movie is sort of an acquired taste. Unless, like me, you're a true believer. In rock and roll, not necessarily the Beatles. Lol I mean John was a dick as far as I can tell. Ringo's cool. Paul's cool, though perhaps his arrogance might be a little hindrance to actually liking him. George was George. Drugs fucked them up as much as anything. I mean after the drug years of Sgt. Peppers?? That assertion that George's last LSD trip was the time he visited Haight-Ashbury just somehow doesn't ring true at all. I think he did it a lot more later in the game. Take a look at him during the last few years of the Beatles. I mean shit that scene in Magical Mystery Tour with he and John in a theater watching a band while high as fuck. Or not? But I think they're lit up like a couple of firefly's.
@@PaulFormentos what happened on September 11 1966? I can' t find anything historic and absolutely nothing related to The Beatles or social history. It was the Stones' fourth appearance on the Ed Sullivan show and France set off a nuclear bomb at Muroroa Atoll but other than that? Perhaps you have this date wrong?
Despite the behind the scenes issues, the full Magical Mystery Tour lp as released in the U.S., including Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane, could be considered their best, or certainly one of their best, albums.
That seems to be the case granted it is hard to choose what is the "best" among so much greatness. But no doubt objectively Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane are timeless masterpieces albeit along so many others they pumped out.
@@tonytango7253 Who cares? It has great song after great song, including some lesser known psychedelic classics like Baby, You're a Rich Man and Blue Jay Way...along with Fool on the Hill, Penny Lane, Walrus, Strawberry Fields, Hello Goodbye...
I notice that a lot of people are saying that this was one great album but some replies aren’t so kind. I felt that though it didn’t sound like other classics of the Beatles library, it was hard not to groove with most of the songs on this album. The Beatles were a great group and greater than the some of there parts, but they were still just human beings mixed with a bit of genius. What a terrible burden they must have carried. I did in my youth find a bit of comfort in their musical expressions and it was rather thrilling to have them provide a score for the sixties and for me to grow-up with. Thank you Beatles! 😊
so true, because the beatles only used drugs once in the studio to record a song, and the people upstairs turned the lights off on them and went home.because they knew, and the beatles knew it was awful music if they tried to make music while taking drugs.
Unfocused maybe but absolutely stellar album. Really makes me happier listening to it. Brings me back to my childhood/teens and a simpler time. Every song and b side imo is brilliant. There will never be another condition in which a band like the Beatles can exist. They will be looked at in the future like Beethoven Bach Mozart etc. Absolute best band of all time
"All You Need Is Love" was a smash hit to this day. Even with them being under pressure playing mostly live before the entire world and no longer used to playing live by that time. They always hit it out of the park regardless of any self criticism. Harrisons solo was fine.
@@TheRightONe-et3ghgenerally speaking this album is not ranked high, it’s nowhere near other Beatles albums on “best albums of all time” lists. For example lists by Rolling Stone have almost every other later Beatles album ahead of this one. That’s what he likely means by “underrated”
That's the American version, not the real MMT album. As it stated, Capitol just threw together their singles from 1967 as the flip side of the soundtrack, which was a bit of a cheat. Although All you need is Love, Hello Goodbye and their b-sided did come during the MMT sessions at least.
@@johnthomas5314 true, but the American version of MMT is considered “canon” now, which is why you can buy new remastered versions on cd and vinyl, and not the UK ep version. For recent rankings, reviews and “best of..” lists made in the last 20 or 30 years the US version is what’s being discussed.
We share this in common! Given what you wrote, something you might check out (if you haven't already) is on the Beatles Anthology 2 (disc 2), a version of I Am The Walrus _before_ George Martin added all the strings, horns and choral singing/effects, it's really interesting and a major example of Martin's genius and why he was legitimately called "the 5th Beatle". So cool to hear the tune before all the other sounds and effects were added.
Most Americans don't know that only the first side of the " Magical Mystery Tour " album was meant for 2 EP's. Capitol Records " Capitalized " on it and added tracks. The 2 EP''s came in a booklet. I had it as a boy. It was the true " album " of The Beatles post " Pepper ". Thank you for posting.
For at least one Beatles album,Capitol knew what they were doing in adding extra songs and making it an LP which is the standard length of albums in the US
Yes. They also knew how to profit on pre-released 45's that The Beatles felt should not be remarketed and sold, because they had too much respect for the fans that already bought them. They wouldn't let Parlophone do it. Capitol cared about their bank accounts, and made many more albums than The Beatles ever made, even though "...Parlophone OWNED Capitol. " George Martin
My favorite Beatles album. The songs are unbeatable., well, the American release, I mean. It is because it included the Pepper/Mystery era singles both A and B sides. It was a great album.
Gosh, that was endlessly fascinating viewing 57 years later. Your channel is just fantastic. I am the Walrus is the Beatles at their best -- sophisticated, creative, experimental, thought provoking. It just doesn't get any cooler. Now at some point, SURELY George Martin saw the light on that cut. There has GOT to be lots of George Martin input on that because it is so complex, layered, tasteful.
1.They had just released their masterpiece (( the galaxy was still digesting it and figuring out)) 2. There wasn't too much pressure....still... 3. They recorded and released great songs: All you need is love (( World anthem ever since)) Baby you're a rich man Hello goodbye ( # 1). I am the walrus(( classic)) Magical mystery tour The fool on the hill (( classic )) FOCUS ON THE MUSIC/////
While Magical Mystery Tour was a disaster, the songs written for that TV special were excellent. Every popular group has their own Star Wars Holiday Special, but the Beatles should be forgiven for this mistake because Brian Epstein, the manager who held the group together had died, and suddenly, they just didn’t know what to do.
Hi! I discovered your episodes about the Beatles a few days ago, it’s really super interesting! THANKS!. It's like we'll never stop finding new things to say about it. All theses witticism, what a mystery. My English isn't very good, at least I'm straight into the mood from the band. The greatest. Greetings from Switzerland !!
Great video! " Hey Bulldog" is one of my favorite Beatles tunes. It was originally going to be called, "Hey Bullfrog". But while jamming on the song, Paul started barking, and then it was decided to change it to " Hey Bulldog".
2 месяца назад+1
Excellent song. I especially love the guitar solo.
Magical Mystery Tour rexordings have some of the best creative music made by the Beatles, as well as everyone else for that matter. It has some reallly unique music on it, of which you can hear, and are described now as being the beginnings of certain music genre's.
every beatle album was golden, IMO. including just the A-side of Yellow Submarine. imagine a musical band that put out 37 songs in 3 months time. Beatles did just that Nov 1968 WHITE ALBUM.....FEB 1969 YellowSubmarine ALBUM.
i actually like the yellow submarine instrumental music used in the movie, i think you should give it another try., i didnt like it at first and it grew on me.
"Baby You're A Rich Man" wasn't featured on the Yellow Submarine soundtrack album, but it did appear in the movie-- the original North American edited print, that is. For some reason, the north american version of "Yellow Submarine" didn't include the song, "Hey Bulldog", but instead a short excerpt of "Baby" and an jazzy instrumental 'battle' score.
I thing John would have been a blast when he was in a good mood. But I've read about how he could be unpleasant, even to his friends, when he was in a bad mood. I'm sure the drugs had a lot to do with that.
According to Roy Carr and Tony Tyler's 1975 book, 'The Beatles: An Illustrated Record', the song that George Harrison played on acoustic guitar in Golden Gate Park was 'Baby, You're a Rich Man'.
@@popjaw1andOnly Seeing first-hand the darker side of the thing they helped create had to be so scary, especially on god knows how many micrograms of lsd in streets you’re not yet quite familiar with 🤯
I was nine years old when I first heard "I Am the Walrus" on my transistor radio. I loved it and still do. According to John, Eric Burdon of The Animals was the Eggman.
They may have been at a very low ebb personally to varying degrees, but lots of folks really love this era of their career. Not much cohesiveness or focus, but some of the results are among the best Beatle tunes ever, even most iconic. And what's with the relentless sneering voice? Weird.
@@loontil I'd remove "Lovely Rita" and "When I'm Sixty-Four" instead. "Sixty-Four" is just McCartney attempting to write something Frank Sinatra would sing. "Within You Without You" is the best song on the album. John Lennon expressed his admiration for the song. George had no use for Paul's Pepper concept at all. People call it the Beatles' best album, but Revolver was much better.
@@sd31263 For you. As a musician I can point out loads of clever things in Lovely Rita. Revolver is just different not better, for me. For me it's a bit of a studenty cliche to say Revolver is "the best" Beet-leez Album.
This has been my favorite Beatles album since I was a kid. I acknowledge that Abbey Road is objectively better, but Magical Mystery Tour just works for me on so many levels. Top to bottom, every song is just such a vibe. The movie isn't great and seems like a misguided side quest that emerged as a coping mechanism on Paul's journey through the grieving process. It probably just created more stress than providing a constructive distraction. Regardless, I love I Am The Walrus so very much. Blue Jay Way is so creepy. Hello, Goodbye is infectious in all the right ways. Strawberry Fields Forever is such a masterpiece, the only thing that could follow it without falling on its face is the absolute brilliance of Penny Lane. It's just so damn good. I love all of it.
This was my favorite album after the White Album! Amazing and interesting stuff. I love Baby You're a Rich Man.... what an amazing tune. I am the Walrus was great too.
Oh, these RUclips documentaries ! Sorry, but you the narrator were not there. You collect these film strips/clips somehow, spice them together, then fill in your own interpretation of what is going on.. and most viewers take you at your word..Well, I for one think it's all hearsay and possibly WAY off from what they were actually going through, good, or bad. No one loved that entire run from '64 to John and George's tragic deaths more than I.. It was a BLAST !! I LOVE 97% of their songs and 100% of their movies and TV appearances..So glad and lucky I lived during this marvelous spectacular time, but...... "The dream IS over".. Mark Harris Los Angeles
Nice one. You bring all this stuff to life. And it's fascinating. Somehow, it all seemed to matter, twenty five years ago. Now the world seems more disastrously planned and dafter than The Magical Mystery Tour. Perhaps (as per memories of the Manson family) the rot really started with Haight-Ashbury.
(Well, perhaps the Reagan era was the moment politics moved from paranoia to Hollywood parody; or the installation of a booze crazed alcoholic gangster in the Kremlin; or his replacement with a kung-fu practicing KGB/FSB mini-me. Certainly, from the time neo-cons decided to respond to 911 terror with a Wall St financial boom predicated on internal deployment of Israeli securitech and the illegal invasion of Iraq, the West had little reputation left to scupper. Welcome to the wonderful world of Trump.)
I love these video reviews on this channel. So many facts but this channel makes them sound tragic haha! Hey! It’s rock and roll. Even when The Beatles do wrong it’s later becomes brilliant
"Rubber soul was our pot lp .Revolver and pepper was our Acid albums "-paul McCartney 2004 uncut or mojo mag, more like Q mag I carnt definitely remember but it was a good well informed piece and interview.
I can remember being disappointed as a youth that the MMT movie did not ever get shown in the US. The reason stated back then was that it costed too much
For The Beatles to produce 13 albums in 8yrs is a musically creative miracle.So they went a bit over time compared to their usual standard is still way ahead what other bands could do.To stifle their creativity by complaining of their drug use,who’s working for who? Take away all drug & alcohol use from ‘60’s bands and you won’t have much music.
It's a fantastic album, loved it as a young teen back then, perfectly fit the times. This video makes it all sound like doomsday .. you couldn't have actually been there.
In essence and reality, Yoko put up a lethal barrier between John and Paul that had never been there. It changed the chemistry between them forever in all aspects...creative...friendship...trust...all aspects
I was always under the impression that the idea for Magical Mystery Tour came after Brian's death, but clearly it was already in the works before that. I'm trying to recall where I got that idea; it was probably The Compleat Beatles that presented the timeline in that order.
The LP has such a crazy song lineup, just classic after classic the whole way through. Props to Harrison, Blue Jay Way still sounds so ahead of its time
The real hero of this entire story, as ever: Mal Evans. Turns up with LSD or Baked Beans on toast. What an absolute gent.

@@popjaw1andOnly Seeing first-hand the darker side of the thing they helped create had to be so scary, especially on god knows how many micrograms of lsd in streets you’re not yet quite familiar with 🤯
@@CantTellYou For sure. That "peace & love" movement definitely had a dark side, and a lot of those bands were influenced by Aleister Crowley.

I was nine years old when I first heard "I Am the Walrus" on my transistor radio. I loved it and still do. According to John, Eric Burdon of The Animals was the Eggman.
Their best album!
The beauty of the music they created!
They may have been at a very low ebb personally to varying degrees, but lots of folks really love this era of their career. Not much cohesiveness or focus, but some of the results are among the best Beatle tunes ever, even most iconic. And what's with the relentless sneering voice? Weird.
I had the two picture EPs of the Magical mystery tour many moons ago. Then I gave them away silly me.
Walrus and Strawberry Fields are so amazing
MMT is my favorite Beatles' album.
Great work
So funny.
MM Tour is great.
Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, Walrus, Fool on The Hill are amazing
Strawberry Fields Forever And Penny Lane Were Recorded Durin The Early Sgt Pepper Sessions Tho (Its Literally Just Sgt Pepper Leftovers) x
@@rizlahillofficial maybe if they bunged them on Pepper it would my fave Beet-leez album and took off the oh so earnest W You Without You
@@loontil I'd remove "Lovely Rita" and "When I'm Sixty-Four" instead. "Sixty-Four" is just McCartney attempting to write something Frank Sinatra would sing.
"Within You Without You" is the best song on the album. John Lennon expressed his admiration for the song. George had no use for Paul's Pepper concept at all. People call it the Beatles' best album, but Revolver was much better.
@@sd31263 For you. As a musician I can point out loads of clever things in Lovely Rita. Revolver is just different not better, for me. For me it's a bit of a studenty cliche to say Revolver is "the best" Beet-leez Album.
This channel is 🔥🔥🔥
Great vid!
Love it.. Have it on double 7".. Still sounds boss today.. Roll up roll up
This has been my favorite Beatles album since I was a kid. I acknowledge that Abbey Road is objectively better, but Magical Mystery Tour just works for me on so many levels. Top to bottom, every song is just such a vibe.
The movie isn't great and seems like a misguided side quest that emerged as a coping mechanism on Paul's journey through the grieving process. It probably just created more stress than providing a constructive distraction. Regardless, I love I Am The Walrus so very much. Blue Jay Way is so creepy. Hello, Goodbye is infectious in all the right ways. Strawberry Fields Forever is such a masterpiece, the only thing that could follow it without falling on its face is the absolute brilliance of Penny Lane.
It's just so damn good. I love all of it.
Agreed, I love all their albums but this one is truly magical for me.
The LP yielded some good songs
This was my favorite album after the White Album! Amazing and interesting stuff. I love Baby You're a Rich Man.... what an amazing tune. I am the Walrus was great too.
The tensions is what made those recordings good
"What good is the Parthenon without my acid?" "John needs you to bring his medicine for his ACIDITY". Classic quotes from a classic time.
everything Beatle is so fascinating--thanks
My favorite Beatles album.
Your podcast is bad ass,thanks.
Oh, these RUclips documentaries ! Sorry, but you the narrator were not there. You collect these film strips/clips somehow, spice them together, then fill in your own interpretation of what is going on.. and most viewers take you at your word..Well, I for one think it's all hearsay and possibly WAY off from what they were actually going through, good, or bad. No one loved that entire run from '64 to John and George's tragic deaths more than I.. It was a BLAST !! I LOVE 97% of their songs and 100% of their movies and TV appearances..So glad and lucky I lived during this marvelous spectacular time, but......

Brilliant album from beginning to end, in spite of the issues.
Nice one. You bring all this stuff to life. And it's fascinating.
Somehow, it all seemed to matter, twenty five years ago.
Now the world seems more disastrously planned and dafter than The Magical Mystery Tour.
Perhaps (as per memories of the Manson family) the rot really started with Haight-Ashbury.
(Well, perhaps the Reagan era was the moment politics moved from paranoia to Hollywood parody; or the installation of a booze crazed alcoholic gangster in the Kremlin; or his replacement with a kung-fu practicing KGB/FSB mini-me. Certainly, from the time neo-cons decided to respond to 911 terror with a Wall St financial boom predicated on internal deployment of Israeli securitech and the illegal invasion of Iraq, the West had little reputation left to scupper. Welcome to the wonderful world of Trump.)
Yellow Submarine is a brilliant movie
The follow up to pepper was going to be a concept album about the Sargent's brother, Dr. Pepper
Great video
I love these video reviews on this channel. So many facts but this channel makes them sound tragic haha! Hey! It’s rock and roll. Even when The Beatles do wrong it’s later becomes brilliant
Love that Album 💯💯
Thanks!
"Rubber soul was our pot lp .Revolver and pepper was our Acid albums "-paul McCartney 2004 uncut or mojo mag, more like Q mag I carnt definitely remember but it was a good well informed piece and interview.
Along with Revolver, MMT was one of my top two favorite Beatles albums.
Excellent Video. You are a great Beatles historian and your documentation is for the ages...
It’s a shame George Martin didn’t let his hair grow out more. He looked like a complete different person. Great video as always
He had pretty long hair in the early 70s when he was producing the group America
As opposed to what?
And what is wrong with looking like yourself, as opposed to trying to look like everybody else? It's "individualism".
@@KevinOshea-wt2ps 🤔.. ? As opposed to “not” growing his hair out

I can remember being disappointed as a youth that the MMT movie did not ever get shown in the US. The reason stated back then was that it costed too much
For The Beatles to produce 13 albums in 8yrs is a musically creative miracle.So they went a bit over time compared to their usual standard is still way ahead what other bands could do.To stifle their creativity by complaining of their drug use,who’s working for who? Take away all drug & alcohol use from ‘60’s bands and you won’t have much music.
Love it
It's a fantastic album, loved it as a young teen back then, perfectly fit the times. This video makes it all sound like doomsday .. you couldn't have actually been there.
FANTASTIC JOB! 👍🏻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
That was great insight to the Beatles, a lot of great info.
Come on we love all of it
very interesting history!
"...when Yoko Ono became a constant PRESENCE in the studio". You are being much too kind with that expression.
Yeah....more like irritant, except to John.
In essence and reality, Yoko put up a lethal barrier between John and Paul that had never been there. It changed the chemistry between them forever in all aspects...creative...friendship...trust...all aspects
@@robertbeckom1962 Someone had to supply the H for ole john
I used to love the album 50 years ago. Now, with the exception of Strawberry Fields and maybe Pennylane, I find it stale.
The Beatles were instrumental in my emerging career as a musician.
and millions of others...
… and my submerged career.
I was always under the impression that the idea for Magical Mystery Tour came after Brian's death, but clearly it was already in the works before that. I'm trying to recall where I got that idea; it was probably The Compleat Beatles that presented the timeline in that order.
My favorite album m.m.t. beatles
Funny thing is I thought "Yellow Submarine" was a great album!
they admitted taking tea. …And Biscuits.
