Description
MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR PARLOPHONE LP!!
This is an extremely rare original 1st press PARLOPHONE label LP issued in Israel only, in 1967.
Very rare to see this in LP format having been pressed at EMI's Israel plant.
Pressed in relatively small quantities, it was recorded to play equally well on both Mono and Stereo equipment.
Cat. No. SMAL 2835
The item is overall in very nice condition, it has been handled well and it is in very respectable condition, guaranteed for buyer to be happy with it.
Only a few of these ever come up on eBay over very long time periods, and this I believe is in better condition than most.
Condition of the sleeve is Very Good, it is fully intact with no repairs or splits etc. It has a little shelf-wear and there are few thumbnail creases to the laminate on the front panel, ring wear and edge wear but not too bad. Other than that it’s neat and sturdy and strong, with no major defects and no major corner wear and the laminate retains its gloss. The fold-over’s are intact and still adhered. The opening edge has a couple of tiny tears. The front panel features the EMI logo and the original UK version of the pictorial.
Condition of the vinyl is a strong Very Good. There are no major cosmetic blemishes spoiling the overall look or playability, in fact it is very respectable and is immediately obvious it will play well. It projects a bright mirror-like shine all over, has no detractions such as groove wear, needle drops, scratches, warps etc. However, it does have very barely light hairlines in some places with wispy hairlines which reveal themselves under light. Has clearly only been played in moderation and handled well.
Labels are decent, minimal wear to the spindle perimeter paper but is still neat, and there are only localised spindle lines and no defects such as writing etc. Retains a good coloration.
Original Magical Mystery Tour inner sleeve fully intact, no splits to edges.
The audio is Very Good Plus. There is a little non-distracting background interference in some of the the run-in's and fade-out's and in one or two of quieter sections but it is pretty much faultless, there was no pick-up of tics or background interference over the main body of music in any track on my equipment, and although the vinyl looks to have been played a fair amount, the audio is much better than how the vinyl might appear it to be. No detractions such as sticks, skips, jumps, pops. Deep, warm bass with lucid instrumentals and bright and clear vocals with full dimensional Stereo channelling, or if you want to play it on Mono it’s great to hear the difference. The Beatles in their psychedelic phase. Very heavy robust vinyl made to last.
I take the packaging of LP’s with the utmost of care and consideration, and use I the best on the market packaging and I add extra protection too. You will treasure this item!
