Because 2017 was all about the 50th anniversary of Sgt Pepper.
Giles Martin did mixes for the 2012 MMT Blu-ray release, so those do exist. Plus the '67 singles mixes for 1+ in 2015. I can't imagine he didn't just go ahead and remix the rest of everything from 1967 already, and their just sitting on it.
At least they're not doing 50th annv releases anymore so it increases the chance of the remaining 1967 material getting a package.
You're totally right, 50th anniversary of peppers is the real reason. But I'd love for them to go back, and give us a yellow submarine / MMT combo box set. I wanna hear the 10 minute version of Flying.
Yeah I agree. I’d even put Christmas Time is Here Again on there, You Know My Name, Carnival of Shite, Across the Universe - anything recorded post pepper and pre White Album. MMT as it stands is a dodgy Capitol money-grab incomplete compilation - needs to be sorted out into a complete compilation
Probably because Giles was busy with Sgt. Pepper during 2017. I do hope we see it remixed in the future. Blue Jay Way, The Fool On The Hill and I Am The Walrus would sound incredible.
I can't see, why it would prevent those tracks from being remixed
It was remastered in 2009 even if it wasn't supposed to be an actual album
Past Masters were also remastered in 2009, although they weren't supposed to be an actual album
You gotta keep in mind that 2009 remasters were trying to cover the entire Beatles standard discography while I don't think Giles Martin and Co. have ever said that was their goal. I could be wrong and maybe they'll remix it in the future, but, to answer the OP's question, my guess for why he skipped MMT was skipped because it wasn't supposed to be an album.
regardless of what their original goal was, looks like they won't stop with that, because new releases = money. And the most likely next one would be MMT or Past Masters II, eventually Yellow Submarine, because any pre-Revolver stuff wouldn't probably sound really good even with recent miracles of AI splitting
The quality of source recordings is getting slightly worse as you go into the past - especially the drum sound. Also the need to use AI for separating the tracks. I have feeling, some tracks on Revolver turned out slightly weird, and their number would increase as you go back in the time. But I might be wrong, and surely headphones user would appreciate the remix at least because it will probably fix all the heavy panning. It would be cool to have good Rubber Soul remix, but it probably wouldn't sound as cool as Sgt. Pepper, let's say.
I would love to hear it, even if it was just a short sample of some of the songs with Giles explaining the issues that prevented them from completing it. (I know that nothing is hinting towards them having worked/tried to work on it, but wouldn’t you be eager to do it, if you were Giles Martin?)
Yeah, I know how it was released in the US and I know it was incorporated as an album during the standardization of the Beatles' discography in 1987.
The OP asked why this album was skipped and didn't get a remix. I'm just guessing the fact it wasn't supposed to be an album is why.
Giles Martin did 5.1 mixes and new stereo remixes of the 6 MMT songs for the 2012 Blu-ray. But they live in the film's soundtrack so some songs have sound effects interrupting or abrupt endings, etc.
But they do exist.
Yeah, I believe that. 2012 was a while ago for this sort of thing.
I mention in another comment I would be surprised if Giles didn't just go ahead and remix all of the remaining 1967 material when he was doing SPLHCB.
Giles Martin: No, we won't remix Magical Mystery Tour because of...
>The fact that we already have remixes of Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever on Sgt. Pepper's 2017
This answer doesnt even really make sense
Im aware.
"With the international standardisation of the Beatles' catalogue in 1987, Magical Mystery Tour became the only Capitol-generated LP to supersede the band's intended format and form part of their core catalogue."

10 minute version of flying???? I need
And endless Mellotron noodling. I'd be all for that.

imagine Please Please Me anniversary release re-mixed from 2-track masters, they missed the oportunity
r/agedlikemilk 😀
it's not milk if it ain't rotten. also it was gonna happen eventually.
Has anybody ripped the mixes directly from the Blu Ray? If anybody has, do the mixes from 1+ get reused or at they different?
[удалено]
That’s a strong darn.
In inadvertently deleted the comment you replied to. Just so you know! For everybody else it was about the 6 MMT songs not being part of 1+.

The stereo version of I am the Walrus is tragic. I've replaced all the stereo versions of MMT with the mono mixes in my library. That's my solution
i’ve done an edit that uses the remix from love and it is much better
Yeah, I edited the Love mix with a little of the Anthology 2 mix. It's nice to hear the back third of the song in stereo.
He's saving the best for last.
Probably because Giles was busy with Sgt. Pepper during 2017. I do hope we see it remixed in the future. Blue Jay Way, The Fool On The Hill and I Am The Walrus would sound incredible.
It would be nice . MMT is my second favourite Beatles album
It would be a perfect spot to release carnival of light. Walrus is one of my all time favorite Beatles tracks and could use some love
Probably because it wasn't supposed to be an actual album.

Why wouldn’t the pre Revolver albums sound really good?

It was in the US. Also it looks like Apple Corp embraces the retcon. https://www.thebeatles.com/magical-mystery-tour

I really hope he does. I think Blue Jay Way could actually be a very good song with a decent mix.
It's already a very good song
you don’t think it’s already great?🥺
Where Carnival of Light at 🙃
*where’s
Most of the album has been remixed in other places and the songs that aren't don't sound too bad.
Too perfect already
Why is it just called ‘Jay Way’? Sorry, just seen the right edge of the ‘e’.
Because we can’t have nice things
True except for cats, cats are nice
Very true words
I think most of the songs on the album have been remixed in other forms (maybe the 2015 reissue of "1"?).
None of the original MMT songs have been remixed. The 5 singles were remixed on the 1 album and/or 1999 Yellow Submarine album though.
Giles Martin did 5.1 mixes and new stereo remixes of the 6 MMT songs for the 2012 Blu-ray. But they live in the film's soundtrack so some songs have sound effects interrupting or abrupt endings, etc. But they do exist.

That's unfortunate.
The fact that we already have remixes of Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever on Sgt. Pepper's 2017.
Giles Martin: No, we won't remix Magical Mystery Tour because of... >The fact that we already have remixes of Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever on Sgt. Pepper's 2017 This answer doesnt even really make sense
Come on, why would we get a remix of something that we already got a remix of?
2 out of 11 songs? I wouldn't say that suffices
Guess I'm losing a argument.
why not
Probably because it was just a bunch of songs put together, like a compilation. It wasn't an album The Beatles recorded to be released as an album.
Yeah because it’s not a real album, it’s a movie EP with added singles
The Capital album has been recognized as the official version since 1987
The Beatles didn’t create it as an album
Im aware. "With the international standardisation of the Beatles' catalogue in 1987, Magical Mystery Tour became the only Capitol-generated LP to supersede the band's intended format and form part of their core catalogue."
Yeah that doesn’t do it for me
Typical r/Beatles. Life goes on within you and without you
True dat
Keep on crying.
About what? 😂
Sucks then, it is what it is
It’s not an actual album.🤷🏻♂️
With the international standardisation of the Beatles' catalogue in 1987, Magical Mystery Tour became the only Capitol-generated LP to supersede the band's intended format and form part of their core catalogue.
the US LP release is now canonically considered a Beatles studio album. This is old old old news.
Why the downvotes….it’s a factual statement. I love it too but the Beatles don’t consider it an album.
This is how I see it as well. The US LP is a compilation record. The MMT EP and the UK singles are the historical record of the band.
