Magical Mystery Tour is a record by the Beatles that was released as a LP in the United States. It includes the soundtrack to the 1967 television film of the same title. Despite the mixed reception of the Magical Mystery Tour film, the soundtrack was a critical and commercial success. The album topped Billboard's Top LPs listings for  eight weeks and was nominated for the Grammy award for Album of the Year in 1969. Among reviews of the American LP, the Saturday Review hailed Magical Mystery Tour as the Beatles' best work yet, superior to Sgt. Pepper in emotion and depth, and "distinguished by its description of the Beatles' acquired Hindu philosophy and its subsequent application to everyday life". This particular recording is a December 6, 1967 release on the Capitol Record label and was manufactured at Capitol's Scranton pressing facility. The album consists of 11 tracks with a 36+ minute run time. The cover is in EX condition. There is no significant wear along the edges or corners. There are no split seams, disk ring wear or markings on the front, back and interior covers of this gatefold album. The interior covers contain a 24-page book bound to center of gatefold, that includes photos from the Magical Mystery Tour film and track listings. The paper inner sleeve is original and intact. The record was cleaned and tested using Audacity and all tracks are free of skips and there is very little background noise. The sound is strong and clear. The vinyl surfaces are free of defects and show few signs of wear. All labels are clean and intact. Application of the Goldmine standards for grading records, this recording would rate EX and would meet “audiophile” qualifications.

I always clean, listen and test every record using Audacity that I list on EBAY. I do this in insure that I can give as accurate a description for each album I list. I also try to follow the Goldmine standards on grading records. I do this as a service to the buyer, as well as, to maintain my own reputation.
