RARE RARE RARE... did i mention RARE?!?!
as the header suggests, this is rare as buggery! I've been suprised with how many people think the Album we all know today was the original release, but this isn't so, the original release of the MAGICAL MYSTERY tour was a double 7inch EP. This was glorified with a mass inbuilt booklet with pictures from the movie and other things. Upon some research, it appears the majority of the pressings for this were in STEREO but this is definitely MONO, which only adds to its rarity. This would be a great addition to the new remastered box set released in September.
Yes, this is an Australian release of the EP. There isn't alot of info on the booklet but on the LP's i believe it notes the matrix numbers or serial numbers.

here's some more info...
The Magical Mystery Tour double EP set was originally issued in the U.K. in both MONO and STEREO versions, and soon after in Japan, Italy and several other countries, the majority in STEREO versions only. Shown above is the original U.K. MONO issue, of which far less were pressed than stereo versions. At least three countries, Australia, France and Japan, issued EP releases designated as "mono", but were in fact just mono mixes from the stereo masters!
The six tracks included were Magical Mystery Tour, Your Mother Should Know, and I Am The Walrus on disc 1, and The Fool On The Hill, Flying, and Blue Jay Way on disc 2. The jacket was a near-identical miniature of the full size LP, including the entire 28 page booklet with lyrics (listed incorrectly in many places as "32 pages" - which there would be if you count the covers as four). The EPs fit in pockets on each inside cover. The rarest copies are the versions from Japan that were issued on red vinyl (Odeon OP-4335-6, released 3-10-68), followed by any of the mono versions. Stereo copies were reissued in the UK during the 1970s and these are still fairly common. In 1997 Japan reissued the EP set in mono as part of a 30th anniversary promotion.
