Produktbeschreibungen

Im Vergleich zu Help! oder A Hard Day’s Night wirkt diese Scheibe mehr wie eine Art Singles-Collection, denn als echter Soundtrack. Vielleicht ist das ja auch der Grund, warum jeder der hier vertretenen Songs -- mit Ausnahme des verrückten Instrumentals "Flying" -- das Zeug zur Hit-Single hatte. Sogar George Harrison's "Blue Jay Way" schillert in den leuchtendsten Farben! (Meiner Meinung nach ein enger Verwandter von Joni Mitchell's "Car On The Hill" aus Court And Spark und wie letzterer passend zum Thema ‘Ich sitze in den Hollywood Hills und warte auf jemanden’) Mag dieser skurrile TV-Movie in erster Linie auch Paul McCartney's Idee gewesen sein, so brachte dieses Album doch jene zwei Singles hervor, die als absolute Masterpieces zum Besten zählen, was Lennon und McCartney in dieser Zeit zu Werke brachten: "Penny Lane" (McCartney) und "I Am The Walrus" (Lennon). --Jim Emerson

Review by Richie Unterberger
The U.S. version of the soundtrack for the Beatles' ill-fated British television special embellished the six songs that were found on the British Magical Mystery Tour double EP with five other cuts from their 1967 singles. (The CD version of the record has now been standardized worldwide as the 11 tracks found on the American version.) The psychedelic sound is very much in the vein of Sgt. Pepper, and even spacier in parts (especially the sound collages of "I Am the Walrus"). Unlike Sgt. Pepper, there's no vague overall conceptual/thematic unity to the material, which has made Magical Mystery Tour suffer slightly in comparison. Still, the music is mostly great, and "Penny Lane," "Strawberry Fields Forever," "All You Need Is Love," and "Hello Goodbye" were all huge, glorious, and innovative singles. The ballad "The Fool on the Hill," though only a part of the Magical Mystery Tour soundtrack, is also one of the most popular Beatle tunes from the era.
