4. The album opens with Magical Mystery Tour, a fun song with some great call and respond vocals between John and George (who provide the backing vocal) and Paul who provides the lead. Ringo's drumming is also great on this track (he really seemed to improve vastly over their past few albums). The Fool On the Hill is another McCartney keyboard led piece that has some nice flute interludes as well as some inventive chord progressions from McCartney, it's a playful piece that has a lot of merit to it. Flying is the first song on record from the Beatles that credits all the members as writers. What it is is a segment of a very long jam that they had and put on record. It's the only thing keeping this album from being a masterpiece, at least in opinion, because it lasts too short and it would have been awesome to hear more of it played out. Blue Jay Way is George Harrison's piece of the album and it treads on psychedelic territories. It also has this terrifying, forbidding feel complimented with a nice section that tilts the atmosphere a bit. It also utilizes some odd times as well (5/4 and 7/4 are both used, as well as 6/4) and the vocals are just spectacular.
   
   Your Mother Should Know is a catchy throwback to another era, and it has some nice harmony vocals and lead vocals from McCartney as well as some truly majestic sections that really make it a dance-able and fun song.
   
5. I Am the Walrus ends the film songs with an introspective and off the wall Lennon lyrics and vocals augmented by some stellar rhythmic work from Paul and Ringo as well as some awesome orchestrations and sound effects (the end of which is from a BBC broadcast of King Leer). Hello Goodbye is a beautiful timeless track with some nice backing vocals from John and George and nice leading vocals from Paul. The guitar work on this track is also really strong as well. Strawberry Fields Forever has the Beatles dabbling with the Mellotron and the acid washed piece has some great lyrics from Lennon (about his childhood) and some fun vocals as well as a nice overall melody. Penny Lane is another Paul led piece with some nice piano work and cool spice arrangements as well. Baby You're a Rich Man has falsettos from the group (the song is supposed to be a tribute to the late Brian Epstein) and a nice underlying bass beat from McCartney during the pre-verses and the choruses. The album ends with the eponymous All You Need is Love, the heavily orchestrated introduction and the searing George Harrison lead. The song also has some great sections of 7/4 and the outro chorus is brilliant (with Paul McCartney going on a tangent and even reprising the She Loves You  chorus).

18.   CONDITION:
19. The cover: rated: Mint a rare beauty still in original factory shrink wrap, with custom store price sticker.   there are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing  ...

1. The vinyl: Rated: near "EX" (excellent) plays with enjoyable bold punchy mono song mixes - different from the more common released stereo mixes;  there's a light visual scuff line on 'Penny Lane' not affecting the playback, hence the grade which is otherwise still collection worthy and both mono rainbow Capitol labels are clean
