Description
Please be aware that all records are VISUALLY graded only - all grades are given based on how they appear under my desk lamp - since I do not own a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click and skip free, although any marks and scratches that might possibly cause such problems will be highlighted clearly in the description.
All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.
The Beatles
MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR
Rare US Capitol Stereo 1st Press with EMI Import Gold Sticker!
This listing is for an original US Capitol issue of the Beatles LP 'Magical Mystery Tour'. This is the original stereo pressing.
When Magical Mystery Tour was released in the UK it was in a double EP format whereas in the US they got a full LP release that was even released earlier. As the UK wouldn't see the full album of Magical Mystery Tour be released until 1976 EMI made the decision to import the US albums over to the UK and then adhere an 'Imported by EMI' gold sticker to the front. Due to its popularity the imported LP ended up selling over 50,000 copies and even made it to 31 in the UK charts!
Today is it extremely hard to find an original EMI imported copy of the album, especially with its original gold EMI Import sticker stuck to it!
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

My Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
