THE BEATLES
Magical Mystery Tour EP
MMT-A1/B1
ALL COMPLETE, WITH ORIGINAL BLUE LYRIC INSERT
The MMT Ep was released on the 8th of december 1967.
It entered the UK charts on the 13th and stayed there for 12 weeks, rising to the No. 2 slot, being stopped by "Hello Goodbye" to reach the top slot.
Marketed as:
"A 32 page full colour book packed with exclusive pictures, a strip cartoon of the original story, plus the words to the songs in the show !"
This is an ORIGINAL 1st pressing of the RARER MONO version:
Rim text: "The Gramophone..."
Central text: "Sold in UK...."
Catalogue Number: MMT-A1/B1
Matrix endings: 1/1/1/2
(Lovely EARLY pressing here)
The vinyls: VG - Playtested and both run through without issue. Numerous surface marks/hairlines etc can be seen but this doesn't affect playthrough. Nice crisp tone.
The second vinyl has a chip out of the edge as can be seen in photos, but the chip doesn't affect any of the tracks, it is just on the run-in part.
The Labels: EX
Lovely and clean...Just a few very faint spindle traces, with equally incredibly light wear to the central hole.
TOP Nice example.
They are the very first printing, with the
'NORTHERN
SONGS
NCB'
text printed on 3 lines, unlike the later 2 lined printing.
Side 3 has a slight mis-aligned label-an error from the factory.
The Cover: EX
Excellent condition. Strong spine. Some scuffing to corners/spine/edges as usual with age.
Garrod and Lofthouse flipback inner
NO rips/tears or writing. Some very light watermarks to pages in places but nothing serious.
Has the 'drawn' Apple logo to the back sleeve.
*SIMPLY PUT-A COLLECTORS PIECE*
The Booklet: EX
Superbly intact, with the all important BLUE lyric sheet. Which again has some watermarks in places. Is seperate from the main booklet.
No writing of any sort and still bright with colour and white pages standing out.
Simply...MAGICAL!
Quite rare and difficult to find these originals in ANY state, let alone this very nice state.
Please see the detailed images for your own assesment of condition. A lovely rare collecters item.
