I'm not in love ( but dont forget it. Its just a silly phase im going thru) with MMT even though its one of the first Beatles albums i owned. I really see it as a clear dividing point between the middle period and the later period. Each album from Hard Days Night to Sgt Peppers and then White Album thru Let It Be defining a clear progression one way or the other. If fhat makes sense in A nutshell.

I'm not a die hard Beatles fan, so I wouldn't know. I only know how I bought them back then and heard them on the radio.

 

Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane were, I think, recorded during the Sgt. Pepper sessions. Let It Be was started, and then scrapped. They recorded Abbey Road (one of my favorite albums of all time) and then Phil Spector was charged with making something of the Let It Be tapes. I actually prefer McCartney's Let It Be . . . Naked release to the original album.

 

The nice thing about the Beatles is you can start with Please Please Me, end with Let It Be, and pick any three albums as a "run" of excellence.

Magical Mystery Tour was orginally an EP that was fleshed out into an LP for the American market, so it's really not a proper album. It's more like a 1967 compilation album. And a damn good one.

Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour, Sgt. Peppers, Abbey Road

 

Surely nonSequential tho.

 

Good catch in two regards. MMT was released after Pepper, and Abbey Road was actually recorded after Let It Be.

 

Yes, and MMT wasn't really an album, it was released as one in the US, combining the UK MMT ep for side 1 and the Sgt Peppers era singles for side 2, less side 1's I am the Walrus. It wasn't an album in the UK until the CDs were released. It was the one CD release that followed the US lp version in those cases where it differed from the UK lp version. At least that's how I understand it.

 

Anyway, apart from the Yellow Submarine soundtrack album, which was half George Martin elevator music, everything The Beatles did can be considered great. Take your pick.

^ no doubt, but it's ok :) . Many not so obvious that I'll have to look into.

I'm throwing this one in for you!

 

Colin Newman:

 

A-Z

Provisionally Entitled The Singing Fish

Not To

 

and/or

 

Commercial Suicide

It Seems

Bastard

 

Love it. Along with Howard DeVoto and The Fall's Mark Smith, Colin Newman is THE quintessential brainy art/post-punk icon. Provisionally-Titled was my college mood music. Still listen to it when I'm in a minimalist low-fi art rock freak out mood (whatever that is).
