“Flying”

Most of what the Beatles did was absolutely brilliant, but a few self-indulgent clunkers like this from “Magical Mystery Tour” were mixed in. But then, the MMT movie was considered a self-indulgent artistic clunker by UK critics. Incidental music was needed for the flick so they wrote an instrumental, the only one released in their working years as a group. A couple others surfaced later on anthology box sets. It had to be severely edited from almost ten minutes to just over two. It was also the first song where all four Beatles got a writing credit. This is an alternate take - I can’t find any other version online.
