Traducción Del Folleto (2009) 

“Si hiciéramos un gráfico de la carrera de los Beatles, Magical Mystery Tour marcaría un descenso pronunciado”

- George Martin 

LEJOS EN EL CIELO, más allá de las nubes, viven 4 o 5 magos. Lanzando MARAVILLOSOS HECHIZOS convierten el viaje en autobús más ordinario en un TOUR MÁGICO Y MISTERIOSO. Si te dejas llevar, los magos te llevarán a lugares maravillosos. Tal vez HAS estado en un TOUR MÁGICO Y MISTERIOSO sin siquiera darte cuenta.

¿Estás listo para ir?..

Magical Mystery Tour 

NOTAS HISTORICAS

Los Beatles idearon, escribieron y dirigieron una película para televisión llamada Magical Mystery Tour, que se emitió en la BBC en la Navidad de 1967. Incluía seis canciones nuevas y estas se lanzaron en el Reino Unido en el formato único de un doble EP el 8 de diciembre. Dos discos de siete pulgadas, con tres canciones cada uno, se presentaron en una funda desplegable con un folleto de 28 páginas con fotos de la película, letras y la historia contada en un cómic. 

Al igual que con los álbumes, a los compradores de discos se les ofreció la opción de una versión mono o estéreo. Sin embargo, en los Estados Unidos y en algunos otros países, el formato E.P. ya no se consideraba viable. En su lugar, las canciones de la película aparecieron en una cara de un duodécimo disco con las cinco canciones del reverso extraídas de sencillos recientes que nunca habían aparecido en un LP. El álbum finalmente se lanzó en el Reino Unido en noviembre de 1976 y se añadió al catálogo principal de los Beatles cuando su música se transfirió a CD en 1987

Un compañero perfecto para Sgt. Peppe Lonely Hearts Club Band, el álbum Magical Mystery Tour reúne todas las demás canciones lanzadas en 1967. El sencillo de doble, cara A «Strawberry Fields Forever»/«Penny Lane» que se publicaron en febrero, el primer material nuevo de los Beatles en seis meses. "All You Need Is Love" le siguió en julio, cinco semanas después de Sgt. Pepper. Un himno para "el verano del amor", se escuchó por primera vez el 25 de junio de 1967 por una audiencia mundial masiva que veía el histórico programa de televisión Our World, la primera conexión por satélite entre países de los cinco continentes. Su decimosexto sencillo, "Hello, Goodbye", había llegado a las tiendas a finales de noviembre de 1967.

Para Navidad, los Beatles estaban en el número uno con "Hello, Goodbye" y en el número dos con Magical Mystery Tour. "I Am The Walrus" estaba en la otra cara del sencillo y también formaba parte del paquete del EP y, por lo tanto, durante tres semanas, la misma canción ocupó las dos primeras posiciones de la lista británica. En Estados Unidos, el álbum Magical Mystery Tour alcanzó el número uno en la primera lista de enero de 1968 y permaneció allí durante ocho semanas. Su permanencia inicial en la lista de LP duró 59 semanas y volvió a entrar en la lista varias veces hasta el verano de 1970.

Magical Mystery Tour contenía las coloridas grabaciones de lo que a menudo se describe como el período «psicodélico» de los Beatles. A finales de 1968, la austera portada blanca de su nuevo álbum señaló que, una vez más, habían superado cualquier expectativa de lo que podrían hacer a continuación.

NOTAS DE GRABACIÓN 

Producido Por: George Martin

Orquestaciónes Por: George Martin 

Ingeniero De Sonido: Geoff Emerick & Ken Scott 

La canción principal de Magical Mystery Tour se comenzó a grabar el 25 de abril de 1967, cinco semanas antes del lanzamiento de Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band y solo cuatro días después de que se terminara ese LP. Las otras canciones de este álbum se grabaron durante un largo período. La primera, "Strawberry Fields Forever", data de noviembre de 1966; la última, "Hello, Goodbye", de octubre del año siguiente. Sin embargo, el trabajo en cinco de las seis canciones que aparecen en la película se concentró entre agosto y octubre de 1967.

Las sesiones de las canciones de la película continuaron la experimentación evidente a lo largo de la grabación de Sgt. Pepper. Las ideas de los Beatles para los arreglos a menudo iban un paso por delante de lo que la tecnología podía proporcionar. Pero fue un desafío que George Martin y los ingenieros de Abbey Road aceptaron a medida que las ideas ambiciosas se convertían en realidad. No es sorprendente que la complejidad de sus canciones exigían más pistas de las que estaban disponibles en una cinta de cuatro pistas, por lo que se crearon pistas adicionales mediante el "rebote hacia abajo". Este proceso implicaba copiar las primeras cuatro pistas a otra cinta y combinar simultáneamente algunas de ellas para dejar libres tantas pistas como fueran necesarias para sobregrabaciones adicionales. El "rebote hacia abajo" se repitió varias veces para acomodar un arreglo complicado y, en este álbum, todos los títulos necesitaron el procedimiento. Tres canciones incluso requirieron ser copiadas a una cuarta cinta.

Una de ellas fue 'I Am The Walrus', que se desarrolló en nueve pistas únicas. Estas consistían en batería con pandereta, bajo y batería adicional, guitarra, piano eléctrico, voz principal, ocho violines, cuatro violonchelos, tres trompetas con clarinete contrabajo y un coro de dieciséis voces. Hubo una sobre grabación final, que solo se añadió durante la mezcla mono. El sonido del diálogo de una transmisión de radio en vivo que se desvanecía y aparecía gradualmente en la canción no se grabó en la cinta de cuatro pistas, por lo que no se pudo replicar durante la mezcla a estéreo.

2. The Fool On The Hill (3:02) 

(Lennon - McCartney) 

Day after day, alone on a hill

The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still

But nobody wants to know him

They can see that he's just a fool

And he never gives an answer

But the fool on the hill

Sees the Sun going down

And the eyes in his head

See the world spinning around

Well on the way

Head in a cloud

The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud

But nobody ever hears him or the sound he appears to make

And he never seems to notice

But the fool on the hill

Sees the Sun going down

And the eyes in his head

See the world spinning around

And nobody seems to like him

They can tell what he wants to do

And he never shows his feelings

But the fool on the hill

Sees the Sun going down

And the eyes in his head

See the world spinning around

Oh

Round and round and round and round and round

He never listens to them

He knows that they're the fools

They don't like him

The fool on the hill

Sees the Sun going down

And the eyes in his head

See the world spinning around

Oh (round and round and round)

Oh

8. Strawberry Fields Forever (4:25) 

(Lennon - McCartney) 

Let me take you down

'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields

Nothing is real

And nothing to get hung about

Strawberry Fields forever

Living is easy with eyes closed

Misunderstanding all you see

It's getting hard to be someone

But it'll all works out

It doesn't matter much to me

Let me take you down

'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields

Nothing is real

And nothing to get hung about

Strawberry Fields forever

No one, I think, is in my tree

I mean, it must be high or low

That is, you can't, you know, tune in

But it's all right

That is, I think it's not too bad

Let me take you down

'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields

Nothing is real

And nothing to get hung about

Strawberry Fields forever

Always, no, sometimes, think it's me

But you know I know when it's a dream

I think a no, I mean, a yes

But it's all wrong

That is, I think I disagree

Let me take you down

'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields

Nothing is real

And nothing to get hung about

Strawberry Fields forever

Strawberry Fields forever

Strawberry Fields forever

9. Penny Lane (3:02) 

(Lennon - McCartney) 

In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs

Of every head he's had the pleasure to known

And all the people that come and go

Stop and say: Hello!

On the corner is a banker with a motor car

The little children laugh at him behind his back

And the banker never wears a mac

In the pouring rain, very strange

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

There beneath the blue suburban skies

I sit and meanwhile back

In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass

And in his pocket is a portrait of the queen

He likes to keep his fire engine clean

It's a clean machine

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

A four of fish and finger pies

In summer, meanwhile back

Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout

The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray

And though she feels as if she's in a play

She is anyway

In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer

We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim

And then the fireman rushes in

From the pouring rain, very strange

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

There beneath the blue suburban skies

I sit and meanwhile back

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

There beneath the blue suburban skies

Penny Lane!

10. Baby You're A Rich Man (3:03) 

(Lennon - McCartney) 

How does it feel to be

One of the beautiful people?

Now that you know who you are

What do you want to be?

And have you travelled very far?

Far as the eye can see

How does it feel to be

One of the beautiful people?

How often have you been there?

Often enough to know

What did you see, when you were there?

Nothing that doesn't show

Baby, you're a rich man

Baby, you're a rich man

Baby, you're a rich man too

You keep all your money in a big brown bag

Inside a zoo

What a thing to do

Baby, you're a rich man

Baby, you're a rich man

Baby, you're a rich man too

How does it feel to be

One of the beautiful people?

Tuned to a natural E

Happy to be that way

Now that you've found another key

What are you going to play?

Baby, you're a rich man

Baby, you're a rich man

Baby, you're a rich man too

You keep all your money in a big brown bag

Inside a zoo

What a thing to do

Baby, baby, you're a rich man

Baby, you're a rich man

Baby, you're a rich man too

Baby, you're a rich man

Baby, you're a rich man

Baby, you're a rich man too

11. All You Need Is Love (3:49) 

(Lennon - McCartney)

Love, love, love

Love, love, love

All you need is love
