ATTENTION BEATLES COLLECTORS!

AFTER MANY YEARS OF COLLECTING THE BEATLES,DUE TO A DAUGHTER AT UNIVERSITY AND THE NEED TO STREAMLINE MY COLLECTION, I AM GRADUALLY SELLING OFF OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS SOME OF THE MANY DIFFERENT COPIES I HAVE FOUND OF THE BEATLES AND RELATED ARTISTS ALBUMS,SINGLES AND OTHER FORMAT ITEMS. BEING A WELL KNOWN COLLECTOR AND DEALER YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE SOME AMAZING AND IN SOME CASES VERY HARD TO FIND GEMS-ALL WITH CAREFUL GRADINGS AND IN DEPTH INFORMATION! THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ITEM FOR ANY SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTION!

  HERE IS AN ORIGINAL AND VERY RARE IN THIS CONDITION-1967 EARLIEST 1ST EDITION OF THE BAND'S ALL TIME CLASSIC EP:"MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR" BUT UNLIKE MOST COPIES THAT TURN UP,THIS ONE HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED HAVING BEEN OBTAINED BY ME SOME YEARS AGO FROM A FORMER RECORD SHOP WORKER WHO KEPT BACK SELECTIVE ITEMS FROM STOCK PLAYING THEM ONCE OR TWICE ONLY. SINCE OWNING IT I HAVE DONE THE SAME RESULTING IN THIS BEING JUST ABOUT THE BEST SET YOU WOULD EVER HOPE TO FIND.

LATER PRESSINGS OFTEN HAD SOLID CENTRES,THIS ONE HAS THE PUSH OUT CENTRES AND THE "SOLD IN THE UK" TEXT WHICH WAS NOT PRINTED ON THE EARLY 1970s REPRESSES!

NOT ONLY THAT,THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER IS BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN WITH NO WRITING,STAINING,CREASES,RIPS,REPAIRS ETC. THE STAPLES ARE NOT RUSTED LIKE MOST,NO LOOSE PAGES AND NONE MISSING!

JUST COMPARE WITH OTHER COPIES AND TRY TO FIND ANOTHER COPY EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE!  HOUSED IN THE CORRECT "WAVY CUT TOP" PLAIN WHITE COVERS WITH SLIGHT CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS AND VERY CLEAN. PLEASE SEE ALL OF THE PHOTOS!  BACK TO THE RECORDS-THERE IS THE RAISED PRINT K T TAX CODE ON THE SIDE 2 LABEL.THE TRACKS SOUND MAGNIFICENT IN THE MONO MIXES! THE GUITARS LEAP OUT OF THE SPEAKERS WITH EQUAL EXCITEMENT THAT IS LACKING ON THE STEREO VERSIONS! UNLIKE MOST COPIES THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE ESPECIALLY AT THE LONG FADE OUTS WHERE THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT CRACKLE AT HIGH VOLUME BUT FAR,FAR LESS THAN MOST COPIES AROUND AND IS EASILY THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS SET I HAVE EVER FOUND OF THIS DOUBLE EP-NOT ISSUED IN EP FORM OUTSIDE OF THE UK! THERE ARE A FEW VERY TINY AND ULTRA FAINT SURFACE MARKS ON THE SIDE 2 LABEL VISIBLE IN VERY STRONG LIGHT HOWEVER THE SURFACES TRULY GLEAM WITH THAT "JUST PRESSED" LOOK.SERIOUS AND STRICT GRADING NEAR MINT CONDITION BUT MOST WOULD HAPPILY STATE MINT BUT THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN MY OPINION UNLESS THE ITEM IS  100% UNPLAYED OR SEALED.

DURING THE 1960s,RECORDS WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT,SOMETIMES TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS HAD NOT MANY PLAYS(APPROX 4-5 AT THE VERY MOST)WITH NO NASTY DISTORTION AS PRESENT ON THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE! NO CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS! CLEAN LABELS-HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR-A COUPLE OF LINE TRACES IN STRONG LIGHT!

SUPERB MONO SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!
