“I’m in the foxhole, I’m down in the trench, I’d be a hero but I can’t stand the stench” Swapping the original’s languid, skeletal rhythm for something more frantic and down right jittery, EC and The Attractions destroy the Pinkpop festival youtu.be/FV_k2uVq_ts?si…
Is it a real album? We all know the answer. Let’s just say it’s a fantastic collection of Beatles songs and their trippiest moment of 67. What’s interesting is the darker turn things take on the MMT songs, as the real world, and Brian’s death, seep into their acid fried brains.

Not seen this in years. I love the fact that instead of toning down the darkness and cashing in on the success of the first film, Joe Dante actually makes a film that’s not only darker than the first one, but weirder and odder as well. And the puppetry still looks brilliant now

What The World Was Waiting For: Part4 As we move into the home stretch on this incredible album it doesn’t let up. In fact they manage to find another gear and end things with an all time great one two punch. What’s so amazing is either one of the songs would have made a
What The World Was Waiting For: Part3 And so the album continues with ‘Waterfall’ Yet again it’s another song where the four band members all have equal importance in crafting the song. Squire’s glistening arpeggio draws you in first. It’s a riff that sounds timeless, like 1/21
What The World Was Waiting For: Part 2 "What is about? Love and Death... War and Peace... Morecambe and Wise..." John Squire famously said these words when asked what ‘Elephant Stone’ was about. But really he could be talking about their debut album. Because it’s an 1/25
What The World Was Waiting For Part 1 Much like roses themselves, music needs the right conditions to grow properly. First off, it needs the right people involved. That’s a really important one. One band member wrong, or pick the wrong producer, and the whole thing can just 1/22
The Stone Roses - She Bangs the Drums (1989) A pure rush of pristine, sunshine pop from one of Manchester’s finest. From one of the truly great debut albums; released 35 years ago today.
In a lovely subversive of his image as the Beatle who least liked being a Beatle, George Harrison is the one who writes this genuinely affectionate song that pays tribute to the Apple Scruffs, fans that would keep a vigil outside the Apple offices. youtu.be/tlHeIOXyGRY?si…

@batcountry1980 The Magical Mystery Tour EP was the first record I bought. I was nine. I never thought it was an album, just a lovely thing. Didn't buy another record until 1972.
The Beatles were MMTers?! I always said they were true visionaries. Ahead of their time for sure.
Is it a real album? We all know the answer. Let’s just say it’s a fantastic collection of Beatles songs and their trippiest moment of 67. What’s interesting is the darker turn things take on the MMT songs, as the real world, and Brian’s death, seep into their acid fried brains.
@batcountry1980 It's mad that people will argue that it's an album just because it happens to be album-length. Does that not mean that a million greatest hits are albums? Or The Who Tommy Soundtrack maybe a closer comparison...
@batcountry1980 I think Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane would be more at home on Pepper, but I’m just glad to have them on an album at all tbh.
@batcountry1980 @rickbeato If I Needed Someone just came into my head. I hadn't heard it recently or anything like that. Eventually, as it rattled around in my head, I had to find it/play on utube. That's when the superb Beatles vocals struck me. There's never going to be anything like them again.
@batcountry1980 Proper studio album or not, this one has been my Beatles go to for some time now.
@batcountry1980 And I viscerally enjoy and love “Is This It” more than “Whatever People Say I Am, I Am Not” as a whole album
@batcountry1980 A Certain Romance by the Arctic Monkeys and Take It or Leave It by The Strokes are both great closers that make me want to boot their albums up again (A Certain Romance moreso than Take It or Leave It)
It’s an album! Learn more about MMT from my 2-hour video on the project! I’m not saying it’s *THE* MMT video (I have so many improvements I’d make) but all of those nitpicky topics are covered. It’s an album!!! youtu.be/mGW4btwngeA?si…

@MMacenas @batcountry1980 An incredible song. I must go back and listen to all the versions of Its All Too Much on YouTube once a week. I never tire of reading the comments of people having their minds blown.
@batcountry1980 My ten year old self thought it was real in 1968 California 🤣 "Nothing is real, and there's nothing to get hung about" --John Lennon "There are alternative levels of reality, and everything is permitted" --William S. Burroughs
@batcountry1980 Always thought of it as an EP, rather than an album. It's great whatever it is!
@batcountry1980 Now I'm obsessed with this. It's not necessarily the best song on album, though it could be, and it's not necessarily a punctuation mark, though it also could be.
@rooksby66 @batcountry1980 Exactly no other bands had the courage to do that even if they could.
@batcountry1980 It’s a better concept album that Sgt Pepper’s by 1,000 miles. Every song solid gold. Released as EPs maybe but a great album
