THE BEATLES
“MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR”
(PARLOPHONE RECORDS - RARE UK VINYL 2 x 7” EP - BEACH BOYS MISPRESS!)
ON OFFER HERE IS AN EXTREMELY RARE MIS-PRESSING OF THE FANTASTIC EP “MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR” BY THE BEATLES
THIS MARVELLOUS DOUBLE EP IS HOUSED IN A SUPERB BOOK SLEEVE WITH WONDERFUL ILLUSTRATIONS. THE LYRIC CENTRE IS MISSING.
WHAT MAKES THIS PARTICULAR COPY OF THIS EP SO SPECIAL IS THE PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN MISPRESS ON SIDE ONE. INSTEAD OF PLAYING “MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR” & “YOUR MOTHER SHOULD KNOW” SIDE ONE ONLY HAS ONE TRACK - THE BEACH BOYS - DARLIN’. ON CAREFUL INSPECTION IT IS CLEAR THAT THE MATRIX NUMBER IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO WHAT ONE WOUYLD EXPECT ON THIS EP!!
WHEN I FIRST DISCOVERED THIS RARITY I CONTACTED RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE WHO KINDLY PUBLISHED MY LETTER AND CONFIRMED THAT THIS MIS-PRESSING WAS UNKNOWN TO THEM!!
ON THE INSIDE BACK COVER IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST MENTION OF “APPLE” AND THE PRODUCER IS LISTED AS “BIG GEORGE MARTIN”!!
THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS 1967 PARLOPHONE MMT-1
MATRIX NUMBERS: SIDE 1 F 58585-3; SIDE 2 7XCE 18434–1; SIDE 1 7XCE 18436–1; SIDE 2 7XCE 18437–2
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE GLOSSY BLACK VINYL IS IN GOOD CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE LOADS OF MARKS AND SCUFFS ON EACH SIDE. THE SOUND QUALITY HAS DETERIORATED WITH SOME BACKGROUND NOISES & CRACKLE. THERE ARE SOME CLICKS & POPS.
THE LABELS
THREE OF THE FOUR BLACK & SILVER “PARLOPHONE” PAPER LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE LABEL ON SIDE ONE HAS AN INSCRIPTION AND A SCUFF. THERE ARE SOME SPINDLE MARKS ON ALL FOUR LABEL. THE LABELS FEATURE THE “GRAMOPHONE CO LTD. …” TEXT, AND “SOLD IN THE U.K. SUBJECT ...” TEXT.
THE SLEEVE
THE ORIGINAL, ELABORATE BOOK / SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND WOULD BE IN NEAR MINT BUT THE LYRIC INSERT IS MISSING.
