DETAILS: an original 1st issue 1967 mono copy of the UK Parlophone EP (cat no. MMT-1)  'Magical Mystery Tour' with pushout centres.

The original blue lyric inner is still firmly attached in the centre of the booklet. The discs are in their original plain white inner sleeves. A great chance to pick up this rare double EP set, with a cover showing the most minimal of faults!.

Cover

The cover is probably one of the best you will find. It has only very very light, minimal wear on the spine edge (shelf wear..barely noticeable….much more prominent in photo) a few very very light creases in the laminate on the front and a very very very slight bumping on bottom left corner. The rear is faultless with no faults. The inside flaps are clean and crisp with no wear or writing, but the rear flap has the very very slightest yellowing/staining in the upper right corner….this is hardly noticeable and only mentioned for completeness.  All pages are secure, clean and unmarked and the blue lyric page is stapled tightly in the middle of the booklet with no rusting or browning browning around the edges and in the middle, which these EPs normally have. A very nice example of this rare EP cover with only the lightest, minimal wear.

Records

Side 1 has a couple of light marks, visible under a direct light.

Side 2 has one noticeable mark and one visible under a direct light, but plays great with no affect on sound quality.

The grading standard used is the UK Record Collector magazine gradings as described below

Mint

The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent

The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good

The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Please note

Sorry, but I do not send packages to Central & South America, some East European countries and Africa  due to high fraud rates.

Shipping I am offering FREE P&P to UK buyers and as a point of fairness to International Buyers, I have deducted the cost for this from the P&P costs quoted for all non UK buyers. Please be assured, P&P charges are only to cover costs incurred and represent no profit to me. All packages are sent in appropriate secure packaging to ensure the item reaches you in the same condition as it was when despatched. UK packages are sent 2nd class signed for and International packages are sent Airmail/Signed for, which means they are insured and meet EBAY/Paypal requirements for seller/buyer protection. I always aim to dispatch the package either on the day of purchase or the next day, and update the status Ebay either on the day of dispatch or the following day, so that you are fully aware of the progress of dispatched items. Return Policy Returns are accepted in the unlikely event that the item purchased does not match the grading given and it is returned in the condition sent and in packaging comparable to that which it was originally sent in. I respectfully request that before returning, you please contact me and advise me of the situation If there is not a fault but another reason you wish to return it, please contact me and I will do my utmost to resolve the situation, but be advised that I will not reimburse the return postage costs if the item is being returned for any reason other than being faulty or “not as described” unless it has been agreed prior to being returned. About Us I have been a collecting and dealing in records for nearly 30 years and the items on sale are either part of my collection that I no longer require, or have acquired over the years as part of a job lot I purchased. In addition to selling records, I also, from time to time offer for sale other interesting items (movie posters, lobby cards, magazines, books etc) I come across in my search for records and have some knowledge about (movie & music memorabilia, collectable books & magazines etc). I have been buying and selling on Ebay since July 2000, and have a 100% positive feedback rate. I pride myself on giving accurate gradings & descriptions and doing everything I can to ensure that every sale goes smoothly. I believe that collectable items are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them, so all my auctions have a realistic starting/asking price in relation to their rarity and/or condition.  526 (GS 6.6.6 (526))
