Can you imagine any band releasing the biggest album ever, the whole world going nuts for it and a month later you start something else. These days an artist/band would ride the success of Pepper for years before doing another thing.

[@filmretrospective5334]

Yeah i know. Never be a band like the beatles again!

[@rockandrollfan]

@@filmretrospective5334 Thanks for uploading this video. I enjoyed it immensely.

[@CantTellYou]

The speed at which they worked is insane. I wasn’t born for a long while after they had broken up so the first time I saw the release dates of each album I genuinely could not believe it

[@squorly]

I've always liked it. I think the film is fascinating and chaotic and hilarious, and so are the stories around it.

[@davidoconnell1444]

Didn't know about the Eggman delivery service! Thank you for including that interesting bit of trivia!

[@filmretrospective5334]

No worries!

[@adamholiday3450]

If you haven't seen this film whilst tripping, you're missing a trick. A psychedelic masterpiece that stands proud amongst its contemporaries. Even Spielberg rates this film.

[@jeffclement2468]

I think more people now are hoping that Peter Jackson can get hold of that un-used footage, perhaps combine it with the official film and make somethin cohesive out of it. I hope so too! 😻

[@filmretrospective5334]

Yeah For sure

[@nunyafunyuns]

Any album that produces I Am the Walrus can't be all bad.

[@gerrydooley951]

yes, there is some wonderful stuff on the album

[@richieboy6825]

It’s my fave album of theirs

[@juhaniranki5323]

The whole album is great. It's great stuff. Not a one futile song in it.

[@boneappletea3858]

It's the movie people had issues with. The album did very well.

[@sub-jec-tiv]

The music is all top-shelf. That instrumental Flying is a freakin banger, Ringo playing deep and funky on that track.

[@lumberpilot]

It's a testament to the Beatles that a movie could be made like Magical Mystery Tour having no script or plot or director. It is still better than 95% of today's so-called blockbusters.

[@sargentoazul]

c'mon! we're all fans here, but you can't possibly, objectively think that MMT movie is "better than 95% of today's BBs"... musically yes, but as a movie?? c'mon.

[@grinchoi1]

Lol stop it

[@paulcunneen3519]

This is quite a well done & amusing video about the chaotic filming of MMT. The one error I spotted was about the music format. MMT was released in the UK as a 6 track double EP, not an album. It was released as an album in the USA with Hello Goodbye & the earlier singles added because America didn't use the EP format. Then, after the EP format died in Britain in the 1970s the British double EP was deleted from the Beatles catalog and the MMT album was standardized worldwide, the only US album that this happened to.A minor point of correction.

[@nigeh5326]

From what I can remember Paul said he wanted to recreate the charabang mystery day trips coach companies used to do, and some still do. These were popular back in the 30s,40s and 50s with working class people. Basically a coach trip to a seaside town or stately home with people bringing crates of beer to drink as well as stopping off at a pub on route. Paul wanted to make a film based on this with little direction so as to make it seem closer to an actual coach trip.

[@jongopok]

Your Beatle videos are really good mate, keep it up!

[@filmretrospective5334]

Thanks a lot!

[@marksherrill9337]

Saw it at a theater . It was about the music, which was great. I would compare it to a music video.

[@jayroberts2017]

Great clarity in that home movies footage here.

[@robfiore1503]

Too bad this movie got such bad reaction, it was largely misunderstood. I love this crazy movie, it's an "art" film, surreal. Not intended to be a story with a narrative, rather vignettes of random ideas set to incredibly inventive new music. The music of Magical Mystery tour is pound per pound better than Sgt. Pepper. in my opinion.

[@andrewcrosthwaite3976]

The UK family Christmas audience were expecting wholesome entertainment like Help! In homes with one tv (basically all of them), dad controlled the set and the rubbish was firmly turned off.

[@squorly]

Would love to see the bus stuck on the bridge and John ripping the signs off!

[@thornil2231]

It was put in the same trash can as the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. Everybody wants to be in a movie. I am still looking for someone making a movie about me.

[@GuyFromWashingtonDC]

Keep these Beatles videos up! I think they’ll help the channel grow

[@jwwj30]

You are correct, plus add some more Rolling Stones videos. I really enjoyed the one about the Stones, Mick & Keith in the late 60’s early 70’s.

[@Lurvy1963]

I loved Magical Mystery Tour as an album. The songs were memorable. The film....forget it!!

[@Zapple7]

Excellent video, some points I wasn't aware of before, enjoyed it 👍

[@filmretrospective5334]

Glad to hear!

[@StuMas]

Like the strangely charming oddity at 13:43 the movie has some wonderful 'off the cuff' clips that wouldn't have been captured otherwise.

[@heinertillmann4783]

i remember the tour as big superb highlight with probably the best song-videos ever produced.

[@robertwilson214]

Fascinating to see behind the scenes.The Atlantic hotel was beautiful.The egg man must have made John's LSD trips disturbing! 😂

[@filmretrospective5334]

Glad you enjoyed it

JOHN:- What we gonna do with Magic Alex? GEORGE:-..put him in a trunk.. PAUL:- I think he's a good electricidad. RINGO:-..good rubish and sick..(from Jujuy,Argentina)😊

[@barblessable]

I remember the film got panned at the time ,but still we got some great music .

[@tunesdonebyone3428]

I LOVE the movie. Yes I said it! People were expecting another Hard Days Night and boy was that wrong! This was physedelia days! If nothing else, I give credit for Paul for having a lot of ideas for the Beatles. The film had some cool moments like I Am The Walrus, Your Mother Should Know ( with the Beatles doing Fred Astaire! ) and John feeding the fat lady spaghetti! Broadcasting this in black and white was criminal. I certainly hope the unused footage gets released some day. Oh, and by the way, didn't those fish and ships look good!

[@ray-manciminera7622]

I loved that movie one of my favorite tracks was on Magical Mystery Tour at what point was called flying AKA blue jay way

[@kenharvey8946]

The problem with this film and Give My Regards to Bradstreet is that Paul think his name is Orson Wells. In a bit of Get Back you can hear tell the director he can make this long continuous shot as Orson Wells opened one of his films.

[@filmretrospective5334]

Thanks for watching

[@Volare-1952]

Paul is always seen wearing his wristwatch on his right hand as well as a ring. So when he said he was wearing the walrus costume on the cover of the album, he was lying. As you can clearly see his watch and ring on his right hand on the cover of Magical Mystery Tour. And he is all the way to the left in the Hippo costume. John was always the walrus.

[@rockandrollfan]

I know the film was without a plot and a director but I must admit, I still enjoyed it.

[@hungfao]

If ever a film could be remade. Paul? You listening?

[@PaulFormentos]

How? Lennon and Harrison gone

[@kev5621]

Great video…strawberry, penny, rich man, and all you need is love were only released on the American LP. Not the UK double EP

[@christopher9152]

It was not a bad idea, and the songs recorded for it were great. The Beatles were still at the apex of their creativity at this point in the recording studio, in my opinion. But they bit off more than they could chew with a film, and they needed an experienced filmmaker to helm the project.

[@ustheserfs]

george and john worked against paul in every respect when it came to hatching new ideas. paul's fear was very much the ones brian suffered, how do we continue to generate revenue when we're no longer a performing band. paul should be revered for his relentless work ethic and desire to keep this band forging ahead.

[@filmretrospective5334]

[@davemac9563]

This is the period where a Beatle would get an idea, and just run with it, only for it to blow up in their faces. Same thing with the formation of Apple records around this time

[@NewYorkTheatreChurch]

Leave a comment good, bad or indifferent??? YOUR WORK IS EXCELLENT 😮!!! There's so much rubbish out there not worth anybody's time, but yours is.

[@filmretrospective5334]

Thank you.Very good of you to say. More to come!

[@NewYorkTheatreChurch]

Just keep up the good work!

[@trevorpat-lifeontherun]

I thought the film was ok and the songs were brilliant. "Fool on the hill" is one of my favorite Beatle songs.

[@ClandestineRecords]

As a Beatle fan I prefer MMT to Peppers.

[@johnmc3862]

It was a Magical Mystery’s tour, how were people supposed to know what it was about? 😅😅😅

[@thornil2231]

I had the original double 10" with the booklet... I loaned it to a girl...

[@nigeh5326]

In the 80s I had Led Zeppelin 1,2 and 4 on vinyl with Led Zeppelin 2 autographed by Robert Plant. Then I lent them to a friend and not long after he moved and I never got them back 😔

[@robertmaynard4265]

It looks like Paul is trying to rewrite Beatles history since John ain't around

[@boneappletea3858]

They should've just done a series of music videos for all the songs on the album coupled with interviews and light-hearted fooling around. That way no one would get lost wondering what wS going on.

[@TyroneEpps]

This review is cool !😊

[@tmamone83]

While I love the soundtrack, the movie was...meh. It seems like Paul expected the cast to come up with stuff, but without any real direction, none of the actors knew what to do. Not even comedic actor Nat Jackley (the one with the Hitler mustache).

[@jasonburden306]

Sounds like George narrating this

Never saw this movie. Where can I watch it?

[@filmretrospective5334]

It might be on youtube.

[@nigeh5326]

It is on KZbin with Spanish subtitles on the spoken parts. It’s in 4:3 ratio and not HD/UHD but decent quality. I suspect they will update it to HD with Dolby etc likely the work will be done by Peter Jackson as Paul and Ringo along with everyone else were v impressed with the Get Back project.

I’m shocked Yoko wasn’t mentioned once as the cause of the failure.

[@filmretrospective5334]

Thanks for watching

[@sub-jec-tiv]

I’m sure this was meant as a joke but i’m going to address it anyway. The Beatles were human beings, not gods. And they were musicians not film directors. As a result the music is fantastic, but the film is dodgy. That’s just The Beatles, being human. In my opinion, the album contains some of their best work, so i wouldn’t call it a failure. And it had nothing to do with Yoko, who barely even appears in any of the behind the scenes footage. At this point she hadn’t even been with John for a full year, she was his new GF and had little influence. Ultimately Yoko gave John ‘permission’ to stop being a pop star which is what John desperately wanted. I’m not judging if it was a correct decision, as it wasn’t my life. But she was probably the only person he knew, telling him he could do whatever he liked, even just unwind, stop working so hard, and enjoy his life more. Everyone else probably told him he’d be crazy to leave the Beatles. Understand, for most of a decade John had been on an insane schedule of recording, touring and press that was relentless. He was fed up with that, and being in the public eye, mobbed everywhere he went. John was done, you can see it in Get Back, he doesn’t even want to be there. Harrison, too. Maybe, keep your hatred reserved for places where it is actually deserved? Or better yet, maybe avoid hatred altogether if you can. You’ll live a happier life. But that’s just a friendly suggestion from an old man, i’m not here to judge you any more than you’re here to judge John for loving Yoko. (Neither of which you personally know or have any reason to think you understand.)

Psychedelia is all about colour. The act of airing THE MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR in black and white was idiocy. The Beatles would have been better off launching a limited release of the film in small art house cinemas around London, New York, Montreal, and Paris.
