"Magical Mystery Tour" is the name of an original 6-song double EP by
The Beatles, first released in late 1967. It is the soundtrack to a
one-hour television film that was originally aired, in black and white,
in the UK in 1967. Initially released as a double EP in the UK, the
recording was expanded to a full album on subsequent U.S. release,
adding several recent singles to the B-side. This has since been adopted
by Apple and EMI when the Beatles' discography was being put on Compact
Disc, and is the only US release of theirs to do so. While the songs on
the EP proved popular, critical and popular response to the television
film proved negative. Plans to air it on ABC television in the U.S. were
cancelled, and "Magical Mystery Tour" was first shown in the United
States only in a special showing as a fundraiser for the Liberation News
Service in 1968. There was no other showing in the U.S. until 1974, as a
theatrical release on the midnight movies and college circuits, both of
which were mainly underground. The movie's soundtrack was far more
favourably received. It was released in the UK in December 1967 as a
double EP housed in a 24-page book featuring pictures from the film and a
comic strip based on events of the film, and was nominated for a Grammy
Award for best album in 1968 reaching number 1 in the U.S for eight
weeks.
