Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour. CD. (Parlophone Records - CDP7480622) Soundtrack to the BBC TV movie of the same name, released in '67. Six track EP expanded with five tracks from the era not included on Sgt. Pepper. This is the US release that has now become a standard eleven album worldwide. This John Lennon is quoted as saying it is his favourite Beatles album due to it being so weird and you can't help but agree. This is the end of the road for their psychedelic period, largely due to the public's and the press' cold reaction to the film, the lengthy time needed to create the tracks and the fact that they rarely stood still during their seven year recording period. At least they left it on a bizarre high, combining "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" with "I Am The Walrus" and "Your Mother Should Know" creates quite a poptastic album, an album filled with ideas, rich melodies, arrangements and the very odd. Next stop, the White Album!
