Amazon.com: The album feels even more like a collection of singles (instead of an actual movie soundtrack) than Help! or A Hard Day's Night, but maybe that's because every song sounds like it could have been a hit single--with the natural exception of the goofy/weird instrumental "Flying." Even George's "Blue Jay Way" paints a vivid sound-portrait in fascinating detail. (I consider Joni Mitchell's "Car on the Hill" from Court and Spark to be a companion piece about sitting in the Hollywood Hills, waiting for somebody to show up.) And although the goofy TV movie may have been mostly Paul's baby, this album features the two 45 rpm masterpieces that sum up the quintessential best of Lennon and McCartney at this stage of their development: Paul's "Penny Lane" and John's "I Am the Walrus." --Jim Emerson

Remastered the new word to fear
I grant it was my fault. I should have checked to see if there were any non remastered copies of the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour available. I have learned my lesson. I had bought an entire set of Beatles CD's while living in Germany ten years ago including a numbered limited edition of the white album (1 million copies). These were beautiful records (actually Cd's) and even though they were not vinyl for CD's they were fantastic. However, they were lost in transit when I came home. I have been ... Read More
