The Magical Mystery Tour 2015 is set for June 20, 2015. Originally held in 2012 as a state-wide, 24-hour event with eight different stops – create your own adventure in 2015! Load your closest 12 geo-friends in a van and cache the entire state in 24 hours. Attend your closest event and meet cachers from across the state as they travel to you. Pick an event in another corner of the state and meet new friends, see new places, and find a few new caches. There is never a shortage of caching tales (or caching tall-tales) at an event – hear a few and make of few of your own on the way! The first event starts at 0001 and the last event ends at 2359. Grab a friend (or two) and make as many of the stops as you can. There is no limit to the amount of fun that you can have traveling the state of Minnesota!
Stops are scheduled in the following cities:
- Maple Grove
- Hinckley
- Virginia
- Bemidji
- Crookston
- Fergus Falls
- Redwood Falls
- Rochester
Magical Mystery Tour (Initial release formats)
The number of songs used in the film posed a challenge for the Beatles and their UK record company EMI, as there were too few for an LP album but too many for an EP. One idea considered was to issue an EP which played at 33⅓ rpm but this would have caused a loss of audio fidelity that was deemed unacceptable. The solution chosen was to issue an innovative format of two EPs packaged in a gatefold sleeve with a 28-page booklet containing the lyrics and colour pictures. Of the package, Bob Neaverson wrote "While it certainly solved the song quota problem, one suspects that it was also partly born of the Beatles' pioneering desire to experiment with conventional formats and packaging". The package was released in the UK on 8 December, in time for the Christmas market, for less than £1 (equivalent to £15 today).
EPs were not popular in the US at the time so Capitol Records decided to release the soundtrack as an LP by adding tracks from that year's non-album singles. The first side of the LP contained the film soundtrack songs (like earlier British Beatles soundtrack albums), and the second side had the remaining A-side and B-sides released in 1967, with three of the five songs—"Penny Lane", "Baby, You're a Rich Man" and "All You Need Is Love"—presented in duophonic, fake "processed" stereo sound.
