Magical Mystery Tour [VINYL]

On my grandson’s Christmas list, perfect find, sound is amazing.

This review is for the 2009 remastered reissue from 2012. Let's begin with the album - an absolute treasure. The history of this album is quite an interesting one. Originally a 6 track double EP in the UK (side A) released in conjunction with the bands 1967 film, the song listing was then extended to warrant a full LP release in the US with the addition of 5 1967 singles (side B). I really enjoy Side A and there are some great songs included such as 'The Fool on the Hill' and 'I am the Walrus'; however, in my opinion, side B is just a revelation of timeless tracks and quite possible one of the strongest B sides of a Beatles album ever released. Concerning my order, I received the 2012 reissue with 2009 remastering. There are a couple of more recent UK pressings that have subsequently been released (a 2014 mono reissue and a 2017 DeAgostini reissue) so it's worth checking which issue you receive in the post as the 2014 mono is a little 'rarer'. The album packaging is superb - gatefold sleeve, glossy cover, 24 page booklet, and a beautiful thick spine. The vinyl is also fantastic - 180g heavyweight vinyl without a mark or hair on. Now we come to the sticking point. So, I've read several reviews on amazon regarding the sound and production issues. On the one hand I can completely empathize with those who have the original albums or singles and the stereo mixes may sound a little 'off' - especially when there is a £30 price tag attached. Growing up on a 1990s CD reissue, I can not say that I noticed the sound issue as prominently as others. I loved my music and the album will most certainly be on rotation in my house. The final point, and one that has become more prominent over the last 12 months, is the price. As I stated already, the price tag is around £30 at the moment, which is fairly high compared to the end of August last year when it was under £20. I've noticed vinyl prices in general increase significantly over the last 12 months. Whether this trend changes or not, only time can tell. Personally I would wait, with the hope that prices fall once again, however there is always the risk that prices continue to rise. In conclusion, I love the album, the packaging is superb, but the sound issues and price could be a deciding factor as to whether you buy this or not.

Bought used from momox, this was in excellent condition and is a classic Beatles album. It includes "Fool On The Hill", "I Am The Walrus", "Hello Goodbye", "Penny Lane", "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "All You Need Is Love". A brilliant album by any standard.

I have been a Beatles fan since I was a teenager away back in the 1660s. Had bought all the Beatles LPs and singles then. These records have become tired and so I decided to replace them with fresh LPs which have been remixed and reproduced in stereophonic sound. They sound amazing giving me the same thrill I enjoyed when i first heard them 60 plus years ago. The Beatles are still the number one group.

i haven't seen the film this album is based on, and i reckon if i ever do see the film, this album would probably make more sense to me. but i gave it five stars because yes, yet again it reminds me of two friends i knew in the past lol. davy and lucy used to play magical mystery tour on a sunday afternoon when i used hike up the road to where they lived. they loved "baby you're a rich man" the best.. i had an interesting summer with them in 1997, getting drunk with them, sunbathing out the back, eating a homemade authentic chicken curry for our sunday dinner one time, and lucy buying me a chinese meal for my birthday. lovely memories and they knew how it felt to be two of the beautiful people. toppa. my favourite songs are magical mystery tour, baby you're a rich man, i am the walrus (which makes no sense at all, just demonstrates and celebrates john lennon's off the wall, psychedelic, fun-loving sense of humour), and all you need is love aswell. the fab, and gear, four forever. long live the hippies! and authentic chicken curry.

Another very good Beatles album. The vinyl pressing is very good too.

Takes me back to when father declared he couldn't hear a bloody word they sang. Of course he was going deaf at the time...

I am a huge Beatles fan, so I have given this album five stars—what else? However, it could be described as not a popular album as it contains some "Beatles fans only" tracks, e.g., "I am the Walrus.". The album contains songs from the film, which bombed when it was first shown on British TV but has now gathered a cult following. There are some bonus tracks - 3 brilliant classic tracks Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields Forever & All You Need is Love- who doesn't remember these? There is also a mini-documentary on the Magical Mystery Tour film. You can't go wrong!

Remastered z 2009 r (wydanie analogowe 2012 r.) to po prostu bajka. Jakość dźwięku jest zniewalająca (wymagany chociaż średniej jakości sprzęt do odsłuchu). Słuchałem The Beatles już w latach 70-tych z oryginalnych płyt wydawanych w Wielkiej Brytanii, USA, Niemczech, które nawiasem mówiąc mam do tej pory - ale jakość dźwięku prezentowana w serii z 2012 r. według mnie jest lepsza. Ogólnie super - polecam. Pozdrawiam - Tom239

Montado a raíz de la película del mismo título, aunque fue el más sonado "fracaso" de los Beatles, su banda sonora es una absoluta obra maestra. Todas las canciones son increíbles y contiene algunos de sus títulos más significativos. Desde Strawberry Fields, I'm the Walrus, a Penny Lanne o la mítica All you need is love. Como curiosidad la "única canción escrita por los cuatro Beatles" la juguetona Flyin. Incluye un enorme libro con los detalles y fotos de la serie de televisión banda en la película. El sonido es maravilloso. Merece 100% la pena!

Lindo álbum! Todo colecionador deve ter, vem com livro com fotos históricas da maior banda de rock n' roll do planeta!

I enjoy it

Wie alle Beatles Alben ist auch dieses Werk sehr hörenswert. Die 2009 Remastered Edition wird in einem aufklappbarem Digi sleeve verkauft und ist klanglich hervorragend. Es enthält einige hochkarätige Titel wie Hello good bye, Strawberry Fields forever, All you need is love, Fool on the hill und Penny Lane. Ich kann es nur jedem empfehlen!
