The Magical Mystery Tour Sessions | Documentary (UK Version)

[@jesper856]

I know alot of people dislike or even hate this film but as a Beatles fan, anything from them on film is gold.

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

I feel the same. I even like all these KZbin docs about them. Can't get enough but that is what a true Beatles Fan is about. As far as the movie yes it was chaotic but in retrospect Paul was ahead of his time as the MTV era was essentially about the chaotic quick shots and plot confusion. It's still art albeit not for everyone.

Paul signed my EP. I used to see him in the park with Linda, their sheepdog Martha, and a kid. No bodyguards. Just a Sunday stroll and nobody said a word. Except me with my EP one time. It was a different world.

[@seltaeb9691]

Hmmm, well first we didn't do bodyguards back then. MMT was made in 1967, before he met Linda which was in 1969, so unless you carried your EP around for 2 years, I think you are magically telling fibs.

And yet, "I Am The Walrus" is sheer genius! I'm inclined to agree with John Lennon (and I have both Sgt. Peppers and Magical Mystery Tour on 1960s vinyl) - when he shared that he preferred Magical Mystery Tour. It is a mind-blowing recording, yet totally Pop.

[@bugman27m]

In 1967 , my sister and I were lucky enough to get chosen during a casting in West Malling to take part in the film as an extra, along with the Beatles. Later in life after I met my then Girlfriend, it just so happens that she was a Beatles Fan.After hearing that I was in the film, she wanted to see it. From then on I collected all I can to do with the film. Its said everywhere even by Ringo himself , that the film was made up using a well known Pie Chart. While this is true in Part, there were in fact two earlier versions of the Pie chart drawn up by Paul as well as a rough Script of almost 20 Pages. How do I know this, because I own a copy of everything Pie Charts and script with some small sketches done by Paul. I later bought The MMT Bus used in Free as a Bird and in Liverpool for the magical mystery tours.

[@rockjam4534]

[@melodymakermark]

Of all the Beatles albums, this is the one that means the most to me in reflection on childhood, as my older brother played it over and over and over, and neither of us tired of it. I was relegated to hearing it through the ceiling as his room was above mine, but we must’ve had some kind of special acoustic drywall and plaster, because it sounded wonderful and was magical to a little kid who wanted to be like his big brother. Every note, phrase, beat, melody, vocal, verse, chorus, etc, etc, etc, is hardwired into my brain.

MMT is not an official Beatles album. It's a compilation issued by Capitol Records as were all of the dreadful albums released by Capitol up to Pepper. The Beatles and George Martin hated every one of them.

The film's actually not as bad as it's made out to be, although I wouldn't quite call it "good" either. There's no plot to it, which I think is what turns most people off. Much of it could have been quite good if some pros had gotten involved, but instead falls kind of flat. But still, it's quite weird, and there are some memorable scenes. Certainly a lot better than any home movie I could have made. I think it's definitely worth a watch. Just don't go in with high expectations.

Paul was the least avant garde. He'd turn up at an event just to be seen to be there. The last to wear the then trendy hippy clothes. The last to have long hair and a beard. The last to try LSD. then later he was the first - and only one at the time - to boast about taking it as if he was the first! The self serving, revisionist. John and George are no longer here to challenge his claims and nor are Neil Aspinall, Mal Evans, Brian Epstein, George Martin, Norman Smith, Geoff Emerick and Derek Taylor.

Look at any media from back in the day, that's been restored film restores better, I like That I got to hear their conversations better, it gave me more insight about who the Beatles really were, the Beatles where SOLD AS, not that they were, but sold as for the purposes of marketing, "this new rock and roll that corrupted the youth with sex and drugs" while this seems like an attack on the Beatles, it's actually selling The Beatles to the kids of the parents that wanted to rebel, but instead of rebeling against capitalism in an effective way, the boomers were sold that rebeling was just listening to music your parents didn't like, and growing out your hair. The Beatles themselves at first they just wanted to be the biggest band in the world, then they wanted to explore creativity, and all of them developed their own creativity, and with a little help from Alan klien the Beatles broke up, I would argue if it wasn't for Alan klien, we might of had the Beatles choose to stay together but allow eachother to do solo works, when the contract was finally up in 76.

This is the album that got me into The Beatles as a 15-year-old, back in 1984. Home with the flu, I started rummaging through my Uncle’s old album collection and found it and was attracted to its weirdness. Later I realized how full of the Paul is dead theme it contains: the black rose, his back turned, etc. It is probably their most underrated album. It’s the most experimental and acid-y album for sure. A bit of an anomaly. I used to consider it a continuation or extension of Sgt. Peppers. But now, 40 years later I don’t see it as such. Previous Beatles albums all seemed to be a continuation of the previous or an evolution perhaps is a better word. Sgt. Peppers was a bit of a break from Revolver, but still I feel there was a shred of continuity. But MMT to me now sounds like a clean break from the past, as if they were trying to create entirely unique music. It also sounds nothing like the album after it, The self-titled album we all know as The White Album. So it stands alone as this one off Beatles album. And it’s freaking brilliant all the way through!

[@seltaeb9691]

Not a album, obviously you are a American. It was issued as a 6 track extended play EP 45rpm. America couldn't handle that & made it into a album by adding singles & their B-sides. The EP was entered on the singles charts. It wasn't a film, but a tv musical special & a weird one at that. It was never meant to be an album & doesn't count as one. The EP contains the soundtrack of the tv special film & you won't find the American added singles on the transmitted tv special. As a American you are best to read up on the Beatles music & how it was issued. You came to them in the 80s & don't realise how it was in the 60s. The Beatles, well Paul McCartney, decided to do a tv special & made a weird musical. The 6 tracks were issued as a EP, the Beatles made a few EPs in early 60s, three I think. An EP had 3 or 4 tracks on it. You will find these Beatles EP tracks on the Past Masters Vol 1. The added tracks you had, you wouldn't find on the tv special film & thus out of place. America always mucks up the Beatles catalogue. Capitol don't understand the sanctity of Beatles music in the 60s.

[@greypilgrim6157]

@@seltaeb9691 yeah I am guilty as charged as an American. And born in March of 1969, so not around when the EP was released. However, I am a big fan and aware it is was bit of a hodge podge. But does that really matter? For all intents and purposes, it is an album at this point. 45 minutes of music on a piece of vinyl or whatever medium. Don’t get me wrong. I always prefer the original British releases for British bands, rather than the American ones which often are different. For example, those first few Stones albums. I never listen to the American versions, only the British. If I want to hear Paint It Black, for example, I put on my Stones Singles collection, as I do not have the U.S. version of Aftermath in my collection. But thanks for your history lesson.

@@wg4ever58 Apparently you do know your Beatles, especially for an American. It’s interesting that you use the British spelling for words such as realise. Are you am ex-pat, or just an Anglophile. Or are you just using the British spelling due to the fact we are talking about a more or less British-origin topic? Also, I know a thing or two about The Beatles myself, being a history nut and a huge fan. But since the MMT was presented as an album for purposes of this video, I decided to treat it as such in my comment. But I’m glad I did as it prompted you to give a very informed response, or retort perhaps is a better word. But I love getting into the weeds on this stuff, so it’s all good. So humor me if you are inclined to do so. If you had to treat MMT as an album, what is your opinion of it as such? Like where might it fall in any sort of ranking you might have of Beatles albums?

[@davidslowhand5172]

In 1967 our TV was black & and white, but the film was in colour, we just couldn't see it. My brother had bought the double e.p, before the film was shown on Boxing Day. The music on e.p. (and the booklet) fascinated me the first time I heard it. We sat around the TV set that cold Boxing Day evening watching in bewilderment and wonder, but it was so much better and different than all the usual fair (dross) that's shown on TV over Christmas. The six tracks on the original e.p. release still hold up today and even surpasses 90% of today's music in terms of inventiveness and musicality. The film was just an interesting, if messy, experiment to show case some Beatles songs. Neil Innes was to do a similar idea better years later with "The Innes Book of Records."

[@grahambaldwin9801]

I saw this when it first came out.... Boxing Day (Hard) Night 1967 at a friend's Christmas party. Everybody there was 16 or 17. The party stopped so everybody could watch it on TV. Everybody did. Whatever age, then, everybody was a Beatles fan, in the UK at least. I can't imagine the like ever happening again. The other thing with that Christmas that has changed forever is this: there was no Christmas Holiday as such because Christmas day fell on a Saturday, and therefore Boxing day on Sunday, therefore Monday was a regular working day. Nobody grumbled about this! It was 1967! Today there would probably be riots and mass absenteeism! " You say you want a revolution, well we know. We all want to change the World....... Don't you know it's gonna be..... alright" When was the Revolution? If not really then, then when will it be? If it was a slow burning Revolution then it is still smoldering away but people don't notice. Will the fire spring up again for the coming elections? It doesn't bear thinking about. Except for a John Lennon "dreamer", perhaps? How thoroughly managed we all have become! Yes we are decadent! old! We were young and fresh to the world. " Look on our Works, ye mighty, and despair!" Vanity of vanities. Still, I will love the show when I have time to watch it later!

Lots of great info here but this video needs a lot of editing. Example: The narrator quotes at length a Lennon interview and we hear that same interview at length a few minutes later. He also fails to mention a few important things. Capitol Records routinely changed the songs on Beatles albums for the N. American releases, which the group hated. The Beatles thought putting singles on later albums cheated fans so they didn’t do that. Capitol did, having so many songs to work with that they released more albums than in the UK. When their albums were later released on CD, the Beatles used the original UK versions-with the exception of Magical Mystery Tour. They apparently recognized that Capitol turned a good double EP into a great album. This video also fails to mention the observation by many critics that the film influenced music videos, predating the launch of MTV by 14 years.

I've never let the opinions of others dictate to me what to like, and I quite liked the film.

[@Aristipp-ng5fu]

You are right. Epistemology supports you.

[@EDDIETRUJILLO-q8p]

Blue Jay Way is one of the best songs ever.

[@zappledd6598]

This is a really well put together documentary -nicely done! Plus, there is a nice box set of the MMT EP's that came out a few years ago.

[@MrCrispian]

great work Gus YOU ROCK

[@DevlinDomini]

The MMT album was one of their biggest sellers for years.

[@matthewashman1406]

Well it's a greatest hits of 67😊

[@naradaian]

I worked in record shops at the time - i dont think it was a big seller as most record shops in UK did not display EP’s and i remember selling a few US mint import LP’s but not in big numbers as imports were expensive- Bruces Record Shop Glasgow and his brothers shop in Falkirk

[@johnheiser2604]

Worth looking at. Thanks mate.

I took a college course on The Beatles in college. I don't recall much about it except that I had to write a paper and chose The White Album. I got an A in the class, so I guess that the paper was halfway decent.

[@AdullFiddler-ez7tm]

I loved the album as much as any of them. Following Sgt. Pepper we were ready for more colorful, whimsical albums and covers amid the acid inspired music of the time. Along with the songs, it didn't disappoint. It made for nice Christmas background music. We didn't know anything about the tv special shown in England. The first time I watched it I found it boring and self-indulgent aside from the musical productions. Said Paul: "You don't even need a plot". It's not that bad as a home movie. The album remains a wonderful one.

I wanted to make a comment off the Record, please make a documentary on Sergeant Peppers Album, TY 😊

This is fantastic !😊😊😊😊

Thank you! 😄

I always thought of the Merry Pranksters' bus Further as an inspiration for the magical bus tour.

[@AndyMangele]

The film was a bit on the goofy side (to put it mildly) but the songs were top notch!

[@alafenetre81]

"I Am The Walrus" is my favourite Beatles' song. How ironic that it was coldly received when Lennon played it the first time in the studio...

Awesome documental, loved it! Thanks for sharing it =)

[@BeatlesBible1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RaulMacias-gv3le]

It wasn't an official album! It was a Capitol Records creation! It was essentially a British Magical Mystery Tour E.P. and Three 1967 Beatles Singles. All of these tracks should really be included on the Past Masters II.

I have walked into Walmart to purchase a dozen eggs, and when I reach that section, I see the clerk stacking fresh cartons of eggs on the shelf. "Are you the eggman?" I ask. He smiles, looks at me and squints "Yes, I am the eggman", he says. I get the distinct impression that he gets asked this numerous times.

[@donaldcarpenter5328]

Can you imagine if the internet would have around during the 1960's and we could have chatted in real time with the Beatles or Jimi Hendrix? Just trippin'...

[@svenjansen2134]

They say never meet your heroes and thats pretty close. Back then celebrities were really stars, unreachable like gods. Now they're everywhere and even worse: they have opinions.

[@anthonymcnamee6297]

Underrated. Gem

[@EmilioGarcia-fr5po]

Great job man

[@johnmitchelljr]

Thank you.

[@boonesboroughbeachboy9341]

I took some strong acid a long time ago and listen to this entire in my room, with all the lights off. It was like one of those Pink Floyd laser light shows. I love this album. I’m happy they were talking out tripping smoking weed and I wasn’t just imagining it lol. I felt like understood the meaning of I am the walrus. After the album ended, I just listened to the Band of gypsies,album in my roommates room and it felt like I watching them from the lawn area of festival and my friends cd was the band really far away.

[@Ron-l9d]

Love or hate the movie, the soundtrack was another spectacular masterpiece. It's like they could do no wrong even if they did wrong. That said, I for one like the movie and feel it was ahead of it's time considering decades later MTV was doing pretty much the same thing style-wise.

[@gordonmorris6359]

I'm hoping, perhaps in vain, that the film version of Magical Mystery Tour will be upgraded for the 2027 anniversary, a Deluxe Edition by Peter Jackson integrating into it the videos & photos (sessions, parties) from '67 of Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, A Day In The Life, Hey Bulldog, Hello Goodbye, All You Need Is Love, and restoring the deleted scene of Aunt Jessie's drum solo! The original film is only 55 minutes long, the additional material wouldn't make it too long. Those psychedelic party scenes with The Beatles & Jimi Hendrix and The Monkees, etc., would fit right in! I think The Fool On The Hill scene could benefit by adding or splicing into it the photos of them playing recorders in that session, for example. The original film is only 55 minutes long, adding the aforementioned videos would only add about a half hour.

[@markstephenlevy]

Excellent documentary, well done 👏

[@BeatlesBible1]

Many thanks!

[@mrsherwood2599]

Fantastic, beautifully done. Enjoyed very much. Going to send you back to the source material for the origin of "Pilchard" 😅😅😅😅

[@fabriziomarini443]

Satisfaction garanteed? ❤

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

I always felt "I Am The Walrus" was a perfect Beatles song for the time and always liked it. But once I found out the lyrics were meant to troll those taking them too seriously I liked it even more. I think it earned John Lennon the title of first viral troll... granted to be silly and not harmful/annoying as many modern day internet trolls and haters can be.

[@adriangonzalez4877]

The walrus was Paul
