The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour • 1986 Capitol Reissue • STEREO • RARE Starline Label Swap! Specialty Pressing
Item Description:
Up for grabs is a fantastic 1986 Capitol Records reissue of The Beatles' classic Magical Mystery Tour in glorious stereo. This is a clean, excellent-condition copy with one highly unique and rare feature that makes it a standout piece for any collector.
The Highlight: A Rare Label Swap!
The most notable aspect of this record is that a previous owner has swapped the original 1980s-era Capitol labels for vintage, classic Capitol "Starline" labels. This was a creative modification done "back in the day," giving this 1986 pressing the distinctive look of a much earlier release. It’s a unique, conversation-starting piece that blends eras—a true specialty pressing you won't find anywhere else.
Condition Breakdown:
· Jacket: In VG+ (Very Good Plus) condition or better. The gatefold cover is crisp, clean, and shows only the faintest hints of shelf wear. The seams are tight, and the vibrant colors are well-preserved. A truly handsome copy.
· Vinyl: In EX (Excellent) condition. The records have been carefully handled and show minimal signs of use. Surfaces are clean with only a hairline or two visible under bright light. They will play with superb clarity and very little, if any, background noise.
