Summary

At the end of 1967, the Magical Mystery Tour came to town, presented by The Beatles as a TV special and novel double EP. In the USA, the six-song EP was turned into an 11-track album. Nowadays it’s become an official Beatles album in the canon. Does this non-Beatles-sanctioned compilation stand up as possibly their best? Was there another album that could have been released in December 1967? Hosts Jason Carty and Steven Cockcroft are coming to take you away. Get in touch. Twitter: @BeatlesPod
