![]() On 1 September 1967, five days after Epstein’s body was discovered in his London home, The Beatles met at Paul McCartney’s house at 7 Cavendish Avenue in St John’s Wood, London. Whereas since 1962 they had been carefully guided by their manager, at the peak of their career they were unused to making their own business decisions or having absolute autonomy over their future. In the wake of the death of Brian Epstein on 27 August 1967, The Beatles found themselves suddenly without direction. Released as a six-song double EP in the United Kingdom and an 11-song album in the US and elsewhere, Magical Mystery Tour was the soundtrack to the television film of the same name, which was first broadcast by the BBC on 26 December 1967. ![]() ![]() ‘Magical Mystery Tour’ ‘The Fool On The Hill’ ‘Flying’ ‘Blue Jay Way’ ‘Your Mother Should Know’ ‘I Am The Walrus’ ‘Hello, Goodbye’ ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ ‘Penny Lane’ ‘Baby You’re A Rich Man’ ‘All You Need Is Love’ John Lennon: vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, organ, Mellotron, electric piano, clavioline, harpsichord, banjo, harmonica, Jew’s harp, bongos, congas, percussion, handclaps Paul McCartney: vocals, piano, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, double bass, Mellotron, recorder, harmonium, bongos, conga, timpani, tambourine, percussion George Harrison: vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, Hammond organ, harmonica, svarmandal, violin, timpani, maracas, percussion, handclaps Ringo Starr: vocals, drums, maracas, finger cymbals, tambourine, handbell, percussion George Martin: piano Mal Evans: tambourine, percussion Neil Aspinall: guiro, percussion Terry Doran: maracas Eddie Kramer: vibraphone Sidney Sax, Jack Rothstein, Ralph Elman, Andrew McGee, Jack Greene, Louis Stevens, John Jezzard, Jack Richards, Patrick Halling, Eric Bowie, John Ronayne: violins Kenneth Essex, Leo Birnbaum: violas Peter Willison, Lionel Ross, Eldon Fox, Bram Martin, Terry Weil, John Hall, Derek Simpson, Norman Jones, Jack Holmes: cellos Frank Clarke: double bass David Mason, Elgar Howarth, Roy Copestake, John Wilbraham, Tony Fisher, Greg Bowen, Derek Watkins, Stanley Roderick, Leon Calvert, Freddy Clayton, Bert Courtley, Duncan Campbell, Stanley Woods: trumpets, flugelhorn Rex Morris, Don Honeywill: tenor saxophone Evan Watkins, Harry Spain: trombone Neil Sanders, Tony Tunstall, Morris Miller: horns Gordon Lewin: clarinet Dick Morgan, Mike Winfield: oboes, cor anglais Christopher Taylor, Richard Taylor, Jack Ellory, Ray Swinfield, P Goody, Manny Winters, Dennis Walton: flutes, piccolos Jack Emblow: accordion Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Marianne Faithfull, Jane Asher, Mike McCartney, Pattie Harrison, Eric Clapton, Graham Nash, Keith Moon, Hunter Davies, Gary Leeds, Peggie Allen, Wendy Horan, Pat Whitmore, Jill Utting, June Day, Sylvia King, Irene King, G Mallen, Fred Lucas, Mike Redway, John O’Neill, F Dachtler, Allan Grant, D Griffiths, J Smith, J Fraser: backing vocals Tracklisting Released: 8 December 1967 (UK EP), 27 November 1967 (US LP) Personnel
