I don't really get the logic of loving Magical Mystery Tour and disliking Sgt Peppers.

In serious retrospect, the MMT that's commonly accepted as a full album is mainly a compilation of the original soundtrack for the TV show (2 EPs in The UK) plus the 1967 stand-alone singles sides including the classic Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane that was Pre-Pepper, so to me that's the reason why it has the edge. Although they were great and influential on the albums, especially A Hard Day's Night, Rubber Soul, Revolver, and The White Album, their singles focused on everything that was best about them (Past Masters Vol. 2, best Beatles compilation). It also did not hurt that the booklet looked more brilliant in 12" form - the only great move in the Capitol/US collection after years of the "Butchered Albums." The songs from the TV show were a little hit and miss ("Fool on the Hill" and "Blue Jay Way" being the only ones not to fully grab my ears but they worked for the show), although you can't deny the power that's in "I Am the Walrus."
Of course, Pepper was a moment to be celebrated when an album was finally released with every song included instead of being chopped, diced, and took apart for the US releases. "A Day In the Life" seriously stands out more from the rest although "Good Morning, Good Morning" was solid as well and "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" is a serious psych-out moment. Beyond those classic tracks, it's good, but flows a little too easy for me although it's innovations are to be noted and it was important that it did spark a new change in the music industry from singles to albums.

Saving Lucy and of course A Day in the Life as classics, here's my view of the others in that list.
With a Little Help From My Friends - Has "Lounge Lizards! Come and cover it!!!!!" written all over. A couple of clever lines, yes, but too happy happy for me. Also it's value in Hippie get togethers also ruins it for me. Within You Without You - Perfect music for the person who wanted to go to San Francisco but only got as far as wearing flowers in the hair, or the wanna-be Guru who was in it for the women and money. Hippie boutique music, expertly played to be fair. Fixing a Hole - A too-nice tune that had a cover by George Burns in the awful flick that was inspired by the album that only made it worse. |
