As per Wikipedia, “After Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Paul McCartney wanted to create a film based upon The Beatles and their music. The film was to be unscripted: various "ordinary" people were to travel on a coach and have unspecified "magical" adventures. The Magical Mystery Tour film was made and included six new Beatles songs. The film originally screened on BBC-TV over the 1967 Christmas holidays but was savaged by critics.
 
I picked it as today’s psychedelic record of the day.  There is so much to the cover art and the sleeve design.  It even came with its very own booklet.  I made a collage of some of the images and have posted it here. 
The artwork was done by Bob Gibson and photographed by John Kelly.

The Beatles, an English rock band formed in  Liverpool in 1960 were one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music. The lineup consisted of John Lennon on rhythm guitar and vocals, Paul McCartney, bass guitar and vocals, George Harrison played lead guitar and vocals and Ringo Starr on drums and vocals.

Today, I present to you a collection from the 1982 box set of twenty-seven 7” singles.  This collection was released as a limited edition 20th  anniversary issue. Though these singles were originally released on the UK
Parlophone label each record has it’s own unique picture sleeve. All this
was offered in a gold embossed blue textured flip-top box.
