The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour

Magical Mystery Tour is the title of two different 1967 record releases, an LP and a double EP, by the English rock band The Beatles, both of which include the six-song soundtrack to the television movie of the same name. The version released in the United Kingdom (on 8 December 1967) was a six-track double EP, whilst in the United States, the record (released 11 days earlier on 27 November 1967) was an 11-track LP, created by adding songs from the band's 1967 singles. The 11-track LP was later adopted as the official version of the record when The Beatles' catalogue was updated for the CD format.

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 were to travel on a coach and have unspecified "magical" adventures. The Magical Mystery Tour movie was made and included six new Beatles songs, but the hoped-for "magical" adventures didn't happen. The film originally screened on BBC-TV over the 1967 Christmas holidays but was savaged by critics.

In other news, I have added the lyrics to this song so you can sing along, or perhaps learn the song! This is how I learned my first Beatles song! Enjoy :)
