Two albums that contribute at large the musical revolution of the 60's and in rock.
 
 
I know that many going to complain about that Magical is an EP, but i consider that a full LP.
 
Vote and discuss.Wink

If it were one or the other, Sgt. Pepper's would be the obvious choice, but if both came as a package, sure, why not?  Sgt. Pepper's was a ground breaking album and is one of the best by the Beatles.  Heck, it's one of the greatest of all rock albums.  Magical Mystery Tour takes one more step into the psychadelia, and though still a great album, it doesn't quite reach the same heights as Sgt. Pepper's.

Sgt. Pepper's. Magical Mystery tour is excellent as well, but Sgt. Pepper has the strongest moments.

I went for Sgt Peppers.and it was tough, Magical Mystery Tour was originally releasd in a double EP format as Alberto mentioned above and Side 2 of the LP record is comprised of singles.
Hello Goodbye.....flip  I am The Walrus
Strawberry Fields........Penny Lane
All You Need Is Love..........Baby Your a Rich Man
 
I tell you one thing though it is still nearly as good as Sgt Peppers and the side with the singles gets the most play with I am The Walrus round here. Unintentional album and an unintentional masterpiece.Thumbs Up

Just ask yourself how good Sgt Pepper would have been if Strawberry Field Forever and Penny Lane had been on it as originally intended.
 
I can't vote for MMT as it's not a real album, even though I have the remasters of both and have played MMT more.

In the pop realm I just  love how they were pushing the barriers of pop and in many cases rock music.  I went with Magical Mystery Tour songs like "Blue Jay Way", "Strawberry Fields Forever,  and "I Am the Walrus" were not your normal pop songs. I really  like  Sgt Pepper I respect the Psych/Pop/Indian  fusion of a songs like "Within You Without You" and "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" with it's phasing effects on vocals and guitars on the mono version. Of course "A Day in the Life" could be argued is a early progressive rock song.

I think that Magical Mystery Tour has more really great songs than Sgt Pepper. I find the latter half of Sgt Pepper to be less fantastic than the first.
Magical Mystery Tour is probably my favorite Beatles album overall, so i'll vote for it. Both are fantastic beyond words, though!

And of course as everybody knows(?) Magical Mystery Tour was originally issued as a double ep, which sounds to my ear far more balanced than the US issued LP with additional tracks (and so the subsequent CD)

Well, you learn something new every day.
 
If Sgt. Pepper had included the songs it missed on Magical Mystery Tour, it would be a serious contender for my favorite Beatles album, battling only Abbey Road. It might even contend for my favorite ever.....

Both are awesome. It's incredible how well Magical Mystery Tour works as an album considering it wasn't intended as one, but of course Sgt Pepper is still better as a whole.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...

Sgt. Pepper was a hard act to follow, and MMT was a good try and payed off in the end.

Hey, those of you who thought they should have been combined somehow, how about giving us a track listing?  Include or exclude whatever you want.  Big smile
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Hmm, tricky. Even though Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane were intended for Sgt Pepper and were the first tracks recorded, I can't really picture them being on the album. Both tracks are instrumentally richer than most of the actual Sgt Pepper tracks.

Definitely the mix of both.   "Magical Mystery Tour" is a bit better, but there are also some superb tracks of "Sgt." (Getting Better,

From Sgt. Pepper I would have excluded:

With A Little Help From My Friends, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, When I'm Sixty Four


From Magical I would have excluded only "All You Need Is Love" ...  this should have put on a 45 single.
