How The Beatles Made "Magical Mystery Tour" | The Magical Mystery Tour Sessions
Ойын-сауық
Everything you need to know about The Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour" song. |
Once the recording for Sgt. Pepper was over, the Beatles settled into a routine of low-key, continuous recording instead of squeezing as much into a three-month album schedule as they had while on tour. This fit their more carefree lifestyle, but it also had an inherent lack of tension that would taint the final product. They didn't have to pay studio fees; all they had to do was find some spare time in the Abbey Road schedules and show up, regardless of what they had to record. As a result, they now spent a large portion of their time at Studio 2 not recording or even rehearsing but writing songs. Meanwhile, the group's dr@g use had started to affect their judgment and decrease their level of self-criticism.
They worked on the track from April until May 1967. Biographer Hunter Davies writes: 🗣️ "When The Beatles arrived at the EMI studios, all they had was the title and a few bars of music. Paul played the opening bars of ‘Magical Mystery Tour’ on the piano, showing the others how it would go. He gestured a lot with his hands and shouted, ‘Flash, Flash,’ saying it would be like a commercial."
Although Paul is in charge of this track, the admirable team effort is evident because John's vocals are very prominent in the harmonies. Ringo's drums, with their smashing cymbals and all, play a huge part in keeping the song alive.. And the percussionists and trumpet players deserve their share of appreciation.

Glad you enjoyed it
The MMT album definitely represents the wackiest of the film while being psychedelic and experimental

Paul was Right. It was a great idea.
Great episode. Adore MMT
One piece of historical information that I often refer back to in my head is from when I became a Chicago fan in 1998. I read their history, and I learned that when Peter Cetera first saw the immediate precursor to Chicago, the Big Thing, it was December 1967 when they were opening for his group, the Exceptions. The American version of the *Magical Mystery Tour* album had just come out, and these guys had already put the title cut in their repertoire by the time they first met Peter. That might have been one of the catalysts for Peter deciding to become their bass player, a role that hadn't yet been filled.
My favorite album of theirs.
Can you do a video on the Beatles friendly rivalry with the Beach Boys?

You’ve gotta bless Paul for being the driving force behind the band from 1967 onwards. Kudos.

das war ein etwas besonderes Album EP ( TV-Film ), Bezug zur Comic und eigenen Selbstdarstellung; davon hätte es mehr geben sollen.
Nice. Ive a lot to say...strange album.
Whatever or whenever you talk about The Beatles remember the essential and fundamental is the music...the songs. 1967 Strawberry fields forever Penny lane A day in the life Within you without you Sgt.Pepper's lonely hearts club band All you need is love I'm the walrus Fool on the hill ....just as few.
Paul was a genius, unlike that billy shears
