The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour Still Sealed Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs MFSL 1-047.

This album was purchased about 30 years ago and is in the same Still Sealed condition as when I bought it. This is a Limited Edition LP Album, and the record itself should be in new condition because it has never been opened.

Please examine the photos carefully for exact condition. Understand that it is difficult to take "studio quality" photos due to the outer plastic reflections, but I have tried my best. I can see no seam separations, tears or holes in the original plastic covering of any kind.  The plastic does show what I would describe as slight "rub marks" and may be a little dusty/dirty due to age and storage, but nothing that shows abuse or takes away from the Still Sealed beauty. The bottom line is that the plastic covering is not "Perfect", but is in great condition.

Though difficult to see minute detail through the outer plastic, the Album Jacket appears to be in beautiful condition. The bottom left front corner has a slight “crunch” or bend in it. See photo. Please note that almost any LP, even those brand new in the stores today, may have slight corner bends, slight edge wear, and minor color fading or discoloration. I have described and photographed any truly noticeable defect, but it is impossible to see/describe the tiniest of discrepancies that could be visible upon removal from the plastic or to an absolute perfectionist. Please be reasonable. Again, this album is over 30 years old!

Please contact me prior to bidding if you need additional information or photos. If you wish to examine the album in person in Naples, Florida, then I will be happy to show it to you.

If you need a "Perfect" album (which I have never seen) then please do not bid. I believe you will find it hard to find a better overall example. I have sold on ebay for over 10 years with overwhelming positive feedback. If you are a normal buyer you will be very happy!

Full Value Insurance and Tracking is included in all Shipping Costs (including media Mail) for this album. Shipping/damage issues will have to be addressed through the US Post Office.

There are no returns allowed on this album. Again, please contact me for any additional information you need. If you are a normal and reasonable buyer then you will be completely satisfied with my album.

I have an opened copy of this album and can honestly say that on an audiophile system it will make you smile. MFSL half-speeds are an incredible way to experience an album.

See my other Auctions for additional MFSL Albums and UHQR's. Thanks for bidding and have a great day ebaying!
