The magical mystery tour is dying to take you away. Don't miss it, it will be The Beatles' last psychedelic tour. And it will take you to see "I Am the Walrus" & "Strawberry Fields Forever". Seriously, don't miss the tour!

Suddenly The Beatles are not half the rock band they used to be. What's happening? They're softening up! John confesses he needs help and Paul longs for yesterday. The tempo has lowered and Ringo is providing other things than danceable beats only. As one song suggests, it's time for The Beatles to hide their love away and go in new directions lyrically (as well as musically). One could argue that it's a minor "Rubber Soul" with songs nearly as strong and a sound very much influenced by the folk rock movement, only The Beatles weren't confident enough (or ready) to release a full album of original compositions and skip the old commercial trick with a blasting rocker at the end (though admittedly John does give it full throttle with his vocal performance).
Favourite tracks: "The Night Before", "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" & "Ticket to Ride" [First added to this chart: 09/02/2013]

Must have been more than one hard day's night for The Beatles to come up with nothing less than 13 original compositions, the first Beatles album to consist solely of songs written by themselves. They're progressing notably, but still capturing the innocent sound of things to come while spreading the poetic message of love as something unbuyable. An album you can listen to any time at all!
Favourite tracks: "I Should Have Known Better" & "And I Love Her" [First added to this chart: 10/27/2013]

No, I wouldn't call it a proper studio album and I wouldn't call it great either, but the four previously unreleased songs here mean the world to me. And I actually kinda enjoy the orchestral soundtrack side of the album!
Favourite tracks: "Only a Northern Song", "All Together Now" & "It's All Too Much" [First added to this chart: 09/14/2013]

..oh god, I´m afraid I want to be entertained ("with diversity and knowledge about lesser known artists").
