MMT holds the distinction of being both my favourite Beatles movie as well as the first Beatles vinyl record that I bought brand new as opposed to purchasing a second-hand original vinyl copy – the EP, that is.

Here, Your Mother Should Know continues this train-of-inspiration that brings us forth to Honey pie, Ob La Di & Maxwell, ‘granny music s**t’ according to Lennon (and me).īack in 2012, the “Magical Mystery Tour” EP was released as part of a very colourful special collector’s edition box set and it not only contains a remastered version of the original mono double EP with faithfully replicated artwork (gatefold and booklet included) and Parlophone labels, but also a customized MMT ticket, an officially restored version of the original movie (or more precisely, TV special, being too short for theatrical release) on both DVD and Blu-Ray discs (the customer has a choice as which format to view it on) and a very interesting booklet containing historical information, facsimiles of invoices, diary entries, filming dates/locations, behind-the-scenes photographs and even mini biographies for each of the actors in the film. You can see the ‘music hall’ McCartney that ultimately gave us ‘You gave me the Answer’ in Wings (yech) really creeping in here after I would imagine the good reception When I’m 64 got. Those songs are all (mostly) great, and if you added It’s all Too Much, Hey Bulldog (which I know was recorded after the E.P), All Together Now (ditto) and It’s Only a northern Song, that would be a formidable Beatles album, and you wouldn’t have Yellow Submarine album as I guess an ‘official’ Beatles album, lacking so much as an actual album.įorgive me (‘It’s not for me to forgive you Derek, it’s for your psychiatrist’-Al Capp) but I have these ‘dream album line-ups’ from various years, like my all-time-favourite Beatles album would be Pepper instead of Revolver/White Album tie if the former had dropped When I’m 64 and She’s leaving Home and added Strawberry Fields and Penny lane. So this leaves Walrus, All You Need is Love, Fool on the Hill, Baby You’re a Rich man, Magical Mystery Tour, Blue Jay Way and the Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields single.

I know Hello Goodbye is a fan fave but to my mind it isn’t in the same league as Getting Better or say McCartney’s work after MMT.

I find ‘Flying’ to be one of most dull Beatles songs ever (their final stab at releasing the ’12 bar original that’s so grating on Anthology 2!) I find ‘Your Mother Should Know’ to be just tolerable, and certainly not up there with ANYTHING on Pepper or revolver. I think the magical Mystery Tour and Yellow Submarine releases (all songs on MMT and some songs on YS being recorded in 1967 I believe) would have made a great album combined. The two-disc EP was reissued in 2012 as part of the deluxe Blu-ray edition of Magical Mystery Tour. It had advance orders in the UK of 400,000, and by mid January 1968 had sold 600,000. The EP retailed at 19 shillings and sixpence. It was held off the top spot by The Beatles’ own ‘Hello, Goodbye’. Its highest chart position was number two on the singles chart, the dedicated EP chart having been abandoned at the start of December 1967. Magical Mystery Tour entered the charts on 13 December, and spent 12 weeks in the top 40. It was the first Beatles EP to be issued in both mono and stereo. The EP had the catalogue number Parlophone MMT 1 (mono) and SMMT 1 (stereo). This retailed at twice the normal price of a single. The package came with a gatefold sleeve and a 28-page book, including lyrics. More than two weeks before its accompanying film received its premiere on BBC television, The Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour EP was released.Īs The Beatles had six songs for release, it was decided that they would release a double-EP set.
