Brief Album Description:
Magical Mystery Tour is an album by the English rock band the Beatles that was released as a double EP in the United Kingdom
and an LP in the United States. Produced by George Martin, both versions include the six-song soundtrack to the 1967 film of
the same name. The EP was issued in the UK on 8 December 1967 on the Parlophone label, while the Capitol Records LP release
in the US occurred on 27 November and featured eleven tracks through the addition of songs from the band's 1967 singles.
The EP was also released in Germany, France, Spain, Yugoslavia, Brazil, Australia and Japan. The first official release
as an eleven-track LP in the UK did not occur until 1976. Despite widespread media criticism of the Magical Mystery Tour
film, the soundtrack was a critical and commercial success and a number one Grammy-nominated album in the US. When EMI
issued the Beatles' catalogue on compact disc in 1987, the track listing of the 1967 US LP was adopted rather than
the six-song UK release.
