On Our Stereo: The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour

Our revitalised 'On Our Stereo' feature continues its comeback this week with a look at The Beatles' 1967 release, 'Magical Mystery Tour'. You're probably thinking at this point why a site like ours; which thrives on modern, alternative music, would feature a band so old and dated like The Beatles? Well we can because one of the purposes of this feature, is to highlight classic albums.

I won't go into the dense history of The Beatles but for those who may have not heard of them (where have you been?), here is a brief summery. Formed in 1960, lived and played in Hamburg for a few years, returned to their hometown of Liverpool, met manager Brian Epstein, produced several hit singles and albums with George Martin, made a few films, played out sold out shows worldwide, gave up touring in 1965, made a few classic albums, played their final show on their roof in London and then the band split in 1970.
