Magical Mystery Tour, 2012 Music Survey, Corb Lund
Monday, December 10, 2012
The Beatles' film Magical Mystery Tour may have been a flop, but the songs still endure.
Today on Soundcheck, we kick off our end of year music coverage with our 2012 Music Survey, an eight-question survey inviting our team and our listeners to pick their favorite music -- from favorite album and song, to favorite new artist, biggest surprise and disappointment and more!
Then, before The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour was an album, it was a film. A film that flopped. Now, 45 years later after it aired on the BBC, the film is being reissued. Jonathan Clyde of Apple Corps tells us the story.
And Canadian country singer Corb Lund performs in the studio.
The Beatles' Mysterious Misstep
Producer Jonathan Clyde worked on a reissue of The Beatles 1967 film Magical Mystery Tour. He says its time to reassess this idiosyncratic work.
Corb Lund: Country-Western Songs, By Way Of Canada
