Album Description
Available in: Country Icon Country Icon Country Icon
Magical Mystery Tour est un album des Beatles, sorti le 27 novembre 1967 aux États-Unis parallèlement au film du même nom tandis que la version anglaise, mise en vente le 8 décembre 1967, est un double maxi de la bande originale contenant les six titres liés au film. La bande originale est composée de six morceaux composés et enregistrés durant l'été et l'automne 1967, dans la foulée du succès de Sgt. Pepper et de la mort de Brian Epstein.

Deux titres s'y démarquent particulièrement, The Fool on the Hill et I Am the Walrus, tandis que la face B de l'édition américaine est prétexte à la réunion de tous les singles publiés par le groupe durant l'année, notamment All You Need Is Love, Strawberry Fields Forever et Penny Lane. Ces chansons marquent les derniers feux de la période psychédélique du groupe, les Beatles s'écartant de ce genre dès l'année suivante.

Qu'il s'agisse de l'EP britannique ou de l'album américain, le disque connaît un grand succès, atteignant le sommet des charts de sa catégorie aux États-Unis, et la deuxième place des classements de singles en Angleterre (chose rare pour un double EP). La formule américaine se révèle cependant plus convaincante, et est généralisée à partir du milieu des années 1970.

User Album Review
On the whole, Magical Mystery Tour is quietly one of the most rewarding listens in the Beatles' career. True, it doesn't represent some sort of forward momentum or clear new idea-- largely in part because it wasn't conceived as an album. The accompanying pieces on the EP are anomalies in the Beatles oeuvre but they aren't statements per se, or indications that the group is in any sort of transition. But if there was ever a moment in the Beatles' lifetime that listeners would have been happy to have the group just settle in and release songs as soon as possible, it was just before and after the then-interminable 10-month gap between the Revolver and Sgt. Pepper's. Without that context, the results could seem slight-- a sort-of canonized version of Past Masters perhaps-- but whether it's an album, a collection of separate pieces, or whatnot matters little when the music itself is so incredible.
