Music reviews of Magical Mystery Tour
Music Review: Bad movie---great record
Rating: 5 Stars
MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR was a dismal failure as a BBC television special, and justly so. In fact, it was so awful the program never aired in the United States. Unscripted, ad-lib and haphazard, the film's occasional musical performance highlights couldn't redeem this silly exercise in group personal excess.
Conversely, the American record album of "Magical Mystery Tour" (ironically unavailable in Britain) is a wondrous thing, indeed. Several Top 40 records that weren't a part of that original program are used to flesh out this set. Inside the LP's gatefold cover is an attached booklet of 12 ? 12 photos taken from the TV show. Also included are complete song lyrics, a trend that began with SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND.
The majority of the tracks on this Xmas '67 release received a great deal of American AM radio airplay. No other US Beatles album contains as many chart topping hits as "Tour." Pretty good for what at the time was considered a letdown for all involved and their fans.
In many ways, MMT holds up better than its predecessor, "Sgt. Pepper's." Musically, if not cinematically, this was the Beatles at their height as a cohesive group.
