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.
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.
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.
Great album. Movie even grows on a person once when knows what they are getting into; really is just a string of cool music videos - but among the first music videos ever done.
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.
3:14 Actually, Magical Mystery Tour was created lyrically in a similar way like Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! Mal Evans went around London looking for tourist bus tour flyers and there were they got the "roll up" part, "Satisfaction guaranteed" etc. As far as I know it was one of the first songs they attempted to create during the Pepper session.
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!
Best double EP with 6 tracks for the TV special it was created for. Read Revolution in the Head that tells you all about each song & how it was released. In the 60s here in the UK we had EPs, which are 45 single but will have up to 4 tracks on it. The Beatles had 6 tracks which was for their TV film.
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
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 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.
The mixing of "I am the Walrus" is so odd, like how it all shifts to one channel and sounds out of phase, and then the mix diminishing into the radio noises. It stands as a very creative piece that feels like the inspiration to albums like Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"" album and the choices made on that one. Though I am fairly certain that it's just me drawing those threads, but the idea was good nonetheless in either case.
There is nothing like Lewis Carroll in anything that McCartney ever wrote. This is yet another example of Paul appropriating everything the made the Beatles special. Anybody who knows anything about Carroll can easily spot the same whimsey and word play in Lennon.
T.m.m.t was written on a whim , John hated the TV movie and was not happy doing it . The British people slated it because it was showed at Christmas on British TV but broadcast in black and White so could not be properly appreciated as It was meant to seen
They are not saying everybody got one. They are chanting what Lennon sings before them, oompa, oompa, stick it up your junepa. They do it like row row row your boat. Some people thought it was, everybody's fucked up. That's why he did it. It's what you perceive.
@kennethmarshall306 it only sounds like it because they a half measure apart so it plays tricks on your eears. Next time just concentrate on one line and you'll hear it.
The film was rubbish (like a lot of later '60's films) but the music, especially I Am The Walrus, was very good. Note: "route" is pronounced like "root" in the UK and some other countries too, just thought you should know...

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.
It's not a album, it was a 6 track double EP for the Christmas tv special on Boxing Day. America made into a LP by adding singles & B-sides on to it. Typical botch job.
Get one thing straight, this wasn't an album but an double EP (Extended Play) on 45rpm Single. It had 6 tracks comprising Mag. Myst. Tour, Your Mother Should Know, Flying, Blue Jay Way, Fool on the Hill, I Am The Walrus. In America they made it into a album by adding singles & B sides to it. It was an EP & never meant to be a LP.
Sure, but millions of fans in the States (at the time, and until today) know it as a full album. Taken as such, you can make a decent argument that it was stronger than Pepper and perhaps their best album.
I feel the same. I even like all these TH-cam 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.
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!
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.
@@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. I had known it was an artificially constructed creation, but didn’t know or remember all the details. So your message was quite informative and I appreciate your taking the time to educate me!
@@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?
@greypilgrim6157 I was born and raised in America, but my family came from UK and Ireland. My grandmother taught me the differences in American and British spellings of words. I spell certain words without even knowing I'm doing. As far as rating where I would place the American version of the MMT album. I kinda think of it as leftovers from the Sgt Pepper songwriting sessions. I think of the songs as a supplemental to the Pepper album. Not a bad song on the album
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.
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'...
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.
I saw MMT after I'd become a Monty Python fan. The movie struck me as a bit Pythonesque in its surrealism. The military scene featuring Victor Spinetti is still, for me, very like a rough Python skit. But of course, the MMT music is a different kind of cool than, say, the lumberjack song.
I wonder how many people realize how much Beatles music 🎶 is thanks to Paul McCartney. Both Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour are Paul's creation. Brought to fruition by numerous musicians and technical people. He was so driven and creative. Still is! Peace ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 Ringo said, "The rest of us were happy to just hang out at home. Paul would ring us up and say, "Let's record something", and off we'd go."
I liked it when they thought they were so important that they could just get in a bus and drive around and stuff would happen abd they could actually make a great movie out of that 👍
John feeding the fat lady spaghetti with a shovel with that grin on his face and I'AM the WALRUS makes it worth watching to me John said that it was a dream he had 😮
@@seltaeb9691 its a SONG! god damn it! Even if it was an "intro", it has VERSE, CHORUS and MIDDLE 8!!! so get it straight, its a S-O-N-G such pedantry
So, in the "Glass Onion" John was mentioning "the Walrus was Paul" meant MORE than Paul wore the walrus head? was John really saying "the bastard was Paul"?
This will be a magical mystery to watch. I have the expanded sessions of MMT on audio disc and is a real treat to listen to. The sessions were apart of the work the Beatles did that led up the magic of what became afterwards, ther most noticeable work, the albums.
I worked on a property in Blue Jay Way in the 80's. It is very unique and beautiful with custom houses dotting the rolling hills. I ended up on the evening news when a dump truck full of hot asphalt lifted its bed, asphalt shifting to one side and the truck flipping over and the asphalt all spilling into the pool of the property I was working on! What a mess!
I’m not sure if the film was officially released in the United States or not but it played at least one theater on Columbus Avenue in San Francisco because I saw it there back in 1968. I loved it. But then again I was only 12 and I loved everything by The Beatles.
Strawberry Fields actually was the first song recorded on Pepper Sessions. Didn't fit Concept. One of the very best Songs by The Beatles. One of John's best. I remember Walrus had real impact on me. Cool record. I love this period. Then they Stripped it back on WHITE ALBUM which loved as well. Beatles throw aways were classics with any other Band. They simply were the best. ❤
I love anything Beatles. In my eyes they could do no wrong. Is this movie a favorite of mine? No. But I still enjoy it and the soundtrack is fantastic as usual.
I was gonna say that. Looking back on it, he probably used AI voice imitation for John too. Was wondering why John's interviews sounded so different in voices
Yes, the first album I bought for $10.00 in 1970 with my paper route money. Included All You Need is Love, Baby You're a Rich Man, Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane...It was great! Had a letdown in 1975. I had gone in the army in June of 1975. After my training for my job I got home to discover someone had put the album in a room with water leaking from the ceilling. It leaked on the picture book album cover. Ruined it.
Happy birthday to me happy birthday to me happy birthday dear Johnny happy birthday to me happy birthday to me at midnight tonight 42 years old and happy birthday Johnny Kennedy we love the Beatles and Paul McCartney and George Harrison Hollywood walk of fame and the rock and roll hall of fame
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.
It's hard to beat "Hard Day's Night" and "Yellow Submarine" but MMT was really just an experimental thing no one obviously took too seriously but it is cute, has funny moments and a great soundtrack. I am glad it exists. And they all look like they had a blast making it.
Not sure that Mike Pender of The Searchers recorded that song ;) Most probably it was Mike Pinder of The Moody Blues But it’s funny seeing his photo there, good job anyways 🎉
There were friends this september 1967 with the beatles : Ray Thomas & Mike Pinder ,the mooody blues founders members were backing in " the walrus "& on " fool on the hill" (thick harmonicas)...

All the 'Paul is dead' hints on the cover. Only one with black flower etc. I swear it was done on purpose.
I think it was Lennon's idea.
You playing instrumental bit of Wonderful by Brian Wilson? At 26:00
This album feels like the brother of sergeant peppers
The film was so bad we didnt see it on US Television in 67 just the album which was great Walrus is John's Masterpiece
Who WAS the walrus?? I think John, but in the song "Glass Onion" he says ""The walrus was Paul". Probably another clue to confuse the fans.
I highly doubt Lennon was thinking about Eric Burdon when he wrote i am the egg man.
The mixing of "I am the Walrus" is so odd, like how it all shifts to one channel and sounds out of phase, and then the mix diminishing into the radio noises. It stands as a very creative piece that feels like the inspiration to albums like Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"" album and the choices made on that one.

Sure, but millions of fans in the States (at the time, and until today) know it as a full album. Taken as such, you can make a decent argument that it was stronger than Pepper and perhaps their best album.
god, you are SALTY about it
I Am The Walrus is my favorite Lennon song. What a creation!
Don't forget Happiness is a Warm Gun
Lewis Carroll things
Love the bass in that one.
Yep, we are all together.
Yep me too. The melody of the verse inspired by a siren Lennon heard.
We need a Super Deluxe Box set of this great album!
I agree!
We'll probably have to wait 'til 2027 for that
Let's hope not. Should be the next release.
@@codymartin77 The next release is Rubber Soul if I'm not mistaken.
No chance. It's an EP.
I know alot of people dislike or even hate this film but as a Beatles fan, anything from them on film is gold.
I feel the same. I even like all these TH-cam 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.
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!
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.
@@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. I had known it was an artificially constructed creation, but didn’t know or remember all the details. So your message was quite informative and I appreciate your taking the time to educate me!
@seltaeb9691 They didn't make only 3 EPs. That made a lot of them. 36 around the world and 13 in the UK. I'm American, and I know Beatles. 🙂
@@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?
@greypilgrim6157 I was born and raised in America, but my family came from UK and Ireland. My grandmother taught me the differences in American and British spellings of words. I spell certain words without even knowing I'm doing. As far as rating where I would place the American version of the MMT album. I kinda think of it as leftovers from the Sgt Pepper songwriting sessions. I think of the songs as a supplemental to the Pepper album. Not a bad song on the album
What's with the WEIRDO McCartney A.I. Voicing???
Sounds severely screwed up
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.
Good doc, but I could do without the AI Paul McCartney voice-over.
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'...
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.
My FAVORITE Beatles film.
Ahead of it's time. 💖
I agree.
I saw MMT after I'd become a Monty Python fan. The movie struck me as a bit Pythonesque in its surrealism. The military scene featuring Victor Spinetti is still, for me, very like a rough Python skit. But of course, the MMT music is a different kind of cool than, say, the lumberjack song.
MMT music is much more similar to that of The Rutles during their “Piggy In The Middle” period.
Have u watched ‘O what a lovely war’? It fits in with all of your views - john lennon is in it
I wonder how many people realize how much Beatles music 🎶 is thanks to Paul McCartney.
Both Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour are Paul's creation. Brought to fruition by numerous musicians and technical people.
He was so driven and creative.
Still is!
Peace ✌️ ☮️ 🕊
Ringo said, "The rest of us were happy to just hang out at home. Paul would ring us up and say, "Let's record something", and off we'd go."
I liked it when they thought they were so important that they could just get in a bus and drive around and stuff would happen abd they could actually make a great movie out of that 👍
John feeding the fat lady spaghetti with a shovel with that grin on his face and I'AM the WALRUS makes it worth watching to me John said that it was a dream he had 😮
Have you ever dropped LSD? Same feeling of something is up. 😊❤
Yeah they say the family listen to mmt. More than white album@@ApprilFaalse
It was a “flop” which you could make that argument I suppose, it was the only “flop” of a stellar career.
@@mumbles215 Stones fan
I am saddened by these remarks knocking I Am The Walrus. It is a great song with great lyrics.
It is one of their best, and one of their most influential sonically.
I would say so, too.
Fantastic album
MMT my favourite Beatles song!
It was more a intro than a song for the TV special soundtrack.
@@seltaeb9691 its a SONG! god damn it! Even if it was an "intro", it has VERSE, CHORUS and MIDDLE 8!!! so get it straight, its a S-O-N-G
such pedantry
I wish there was a whole track of the jazz piano that plays out the end of the title track. It’s so cool
I could handle that....and the strange cocktail jazz playing through "Jessie's Dream."
There are tons of great Beatles albums but this is my favorite. Beatles forever❤
Same here.
You’ve been on fire recently man! Your videos are so well made🔥🔥🔥
Glad you like them!
So, in the "Glass Onion" John was mentioning "the Walrus was Paul" meant MORE than Paul wore the walrus head? was John really saying "the bastard was Paul"?
This will be a magical mystery to watch. I have the expanded sessions of MMT on audio disc and is a real treat to listen to. The sessions were apart of the work the Beatles did that led up the magic of what became afterwards, ther most noticeable work, the albums.
Excellent record
@@Havagood1 u mean excellent album
U mean excellent album
The film was a bit on the goofy side (to put it mildly) but the songs were top notch!
I worked on a property in Blue Jay Way in the 80's. It is very unique and beautiful with custom houses dotting the rolling hills. I ended up on the evening news when a dump truck full of hot asphalt lifted its bed, asphalt shifting to one side and the truck flipping over and the asphalt all spilling into the pool of the property I was working on! What a mess!
Full of great music that album
I’m not sure if the film was officially released in the United States or not but it played at least one theater on Columbus Avenue in San Francisco because I saw it there back in 1968. I loved it. But then again I was only 12 and I loved everything by The Beatles.
Strawberry Fields actually was the first song recorded on Pepper Sessions. Didn't fit Concept. One of the very best Songs by The Beatles.
One of John's best.
I remember Walrus had real impact on me.
Cool record. I love this period.
Then they Stripped it back on WHITE ALBUM which loved as well. Beatles throw aways were classics with any other Band. They simply were the best. ❤
I love anything Beatles. In my eyes they could do no wrong. Is this movie a favorite of mine? No. But I still enjoy it and the soundtrack is fantastic as usual.
The AI imitation of Paul is very off.
I was gonna say that. Looking back on it, he probably used AI voice imitation for John too. Was wondering why John's interviews sounded so different in voices
It still sounds like Everybody's Smoking Pot. Maybe that's mixed in on top of Everybody's Got One
I put this toward the top of my favorites Beatles albums. America was so smart to bundle the movie songs with the singles.
Yes, the first album I bought for $10.00 in 1970 with my paper route money. Included All You Need is Love, Baby You're a Rich Man, Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane...It was great! Had a letdown in 1975. I had gone in the army in June of 1975. After my training for my job I got home to discover someone had put the album in a room with water leaking from the ceilling. It leaked on the picture book album cover. Ruined it.
love this album, its great to now know how it was fully made
What is it with the random background songs like To Sir With Love by Lulu and Ruby Tuesday by the Rolling Stones?
I love your channel and content. Thanks for the great work
Thank you!
Agree!!! Great info on this video 👏👏👏👏
The walrus was Paul

Finally my playlist is done ✧⁺⸜(●˙▾˙●)⸝⁺✧ʸᵃʸ
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.
These days, I find myself listening to this album more than Sargent Pepper.
Thank you for the invitation. I will be online.
Yeah,thank U from Germany, Beatles Fan Elli ✌❤
Our pleasure!
Hearing MMT when I was 8 led to a 63 year old fanatic loving your channel & itching to see this. Thanks!
Glad you enjoy it!
It's hard to beat "Hard Day's Night" and "Yellow Submarine" but MMT was really just an experimental thing no one obviously took too seriously but it is cute, has funny moments and a great soundtrack. I am glad it exists. And they all look like they had a blast making it.
JANE ASHER WAS PAUL;S GIRLFRIEND (BACK THEN)...THE SONG ...WE CAN WORK IT OUT ....WAS DEDICATED BY PAUL TO HER ...JUST BEFORE THEY SPLIT UP ✌🏻👍🏻
Hi there greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 love ❤️ the Beatles John Vanharen
Very well made! thanks a lot.
Glad you liked it!
Not sure that Mike Pender of The Searchers recorded that song ;)
Most probably it was Mike Pinder of The Moody Blues
But it’s funny seeing his photo there, good job anyways 🎉
You can’t reference John’s comments on anything. He was very mad and bitter in almost of those interviews after the breakup . And he was on heroin.
MMT is fu*kin class 🎉
Ken Kesey and “Furthur”
Didn't Lesh and Friends play "Walrus"
Baby You're A Rich Man was a great song on that record, I wish they'd covered recording that as well.
@@danielramage6237 great ass line
@@danielramage6237 I typed bass line
But it came out with no b!
All the best from Florence
There were friends this september 1967 with the beatles : Ray Thomas & Mike Pinder ,the mooody blues founders members were backing in " the walrus "& on " fool on the hill" (thick harmonicas)...
Me: wonders if the hotel in the video "Your Mother Should Know" lets fans dance down the staircase
It's a disused aircraft hangar witn a temporary staircase built in it.
So Paul/Billy answered a question during a segment inside the bus that he is 30 years old? Huh well I believe him!
I am thinking that Bill played all the brass parts. Has anyone ever listened to "The Family Way" LP by Paul/Billy, Lots of Brass.
@@timturner36 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Ahh - so "the Walrus was Paul" was a subtly barbed comment - if Lennon knew Carroll's meaning by then?
