Unlike Lennon, Harrison had yet to escape The Beatles’ summer doldrums, and his contribution to Magical Mystery Tour was as unfocused and monotonous as most of the group’s other music of this period. Written in the fog-bound Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles on 1st August 1967, the blurred harmonic oscillation between C major and C diminished which is almost the entire musical matter of BLUE JAY WAY all too successfully conveys its author’s jet-lagged dislocation while waiting for publicist Derek Taylor to arrive. A four-minute pedal-drone laden with ADT, phasing, and backwards tapes, it numbingly fails to transcend the weary boredom that inspired it.
