VINYL TITLE — ARTIST (YEAR) • CATALOG Artist: The Beatles Title: Magical Mystery Tour (Songs and Music from the T.V. Film) Format: Double 7" Vinyl EP (Gatefold with 24-page booklet) Label: Parlophone Catalog Number: MMT-1 Release Year: 1967 (December 8) Country: Great Britain Edition: FIRST EDITION / 1ST PRESSING (MONO) 💿 DESCRIPTION This double EP set was the original UK format for the Magical Mystery Tour soundtrack. While the US market released these tracks as a full-length LP (adding several 1967 singles to Side B), The Beatles initially intended this as a 6-track cinematic accompaniment to their self-directed television film. The package is a lavish gatefold sleeve containing two 7-inch records and a 24-page full-color booklet. The booklet features a comic strip illustrating the film's "plot," lyrics to the songs, and numerous stills from the production. This specific set is the Mono version , which is highly sought after by audiophiles, as the mono mixes were personally overseen by the band and George Martin, often resulting in a punchier, more cohesive sound compared to the early stereo versions. 💎 CONDITION vinyl: near mint minus (NM-) sleeve: near mint minus (NM-) 🧾 NOTES FOR COLLECTORS This is a true 1st Pressing , identified by several key markers: "Sold in U.K." Text: The labels feature the mandatory "Sold in U.K. subject to resale price conditions..." statement above the center hole. This text was removed from Parlophone labels starting in 1969, making this an authentic 1967/68 copy. Blue Lyric Pages: Early copies featured light blue lyric sheets in the center of the booklet. Later pressings transitioned to yellow or white pages. Mono Mix: The "MMT 1" catalog number on the back cover and the absence of the "Stereo" badge confirm this is the original mono mix. The "Push-Out" Centers: This copy features the original 4-prong centers, which are more desirable than the solid center versions often found in later exports or reissues. 🔍 MATRIX / LABEL DETAILS The labels include the following matrix identifiers: Side 1 (MMT-A1): (7XCE.18435) Side 2 (MMT-A1): (7XCE.18434) Side 3 (MMT-B1): (7XCE.18436) Side 4 (MMT-B1): (7XCE.18437) Tax Code: A "K T" embossed code is visible on the Side 4 center, a standard UK tax code for this era. Manufacturing Credits: "The Gramophone Co. Ltd." around the rim and "Made in Gt. Britain" at the bottom. 📦 SHIPPING 📮 STANDARD: 5–30 DAYS — FREE SHIPPING ✈️ INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY: 5–15 DAYS — 30$ 🚚 FEDEX EXPRESS: 3–7 DAYS — 65$ WORLD OF AUDIOPHILE (EBAY SELLER) 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK • FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM: @WORLD_OF_AUDIOPHILE ⭐ LATEST BUYER FEEDBACK “ABSOLUTELY STUNNING VINYL!

  1. Absolute flawless international shipping, was fun to see all the stops the package made during delivery, van halen box set was packed professionally and shipped priority without any import tax at all. Item was exactly as described and the only one available anywhere, item was unopened sealed and considered extremely rare from 1984. This was the best experience I've ever had on ebay, all questions were answered directly and promptly. Definitely saving this seller for future purchases. Thank you

  2. The records were as described, honest seller. I wish I had information from seller that the tracking wasn’t to my address, that it was going to a different address, and then being forwarded. Following the tracking had me concerned. So I recommend buyers communicate with the seller to understand that the tracking may not (at least in my case) indicate that it might go to a different address. Once it was forwarded I did receive tracking to my home. Still, great records, safe packaging.
