Magical Mystery Tour [VINYL]

Product Information

I got this UK mono version of the Magical Mystery Tour EP several years ago at a record fair. My version is missing one of the original paper sleeves, has some teenager's name on it, and has the laminate peeling off, possibly because of outgassing from an old PVC sleeve that I have since thrown away. The records themselves are in pretty beaten up condition, but play OK. In Britain, the EP peaked at number 2 on the national singles chart, [145] behind "Hello, Goodbye", [146] [147] and became the Beatles' ninth release to top the national EPs chart compiled by Record Retailer. [148] In the UK singles listings compiled by Melody Maker magazine, it replaced "Hello, Goodbye" at number 1 for a week. [149] The EP sold over 500,000 copies there. [138] Walter Everett highlights its UK chart performance as a significant achievement, given that the EP's retail price far exceeded that of the singles with which it was competing at the time. [138] As an American import, the Capitol album release peaked on the Record Retailer LPs chart at number 31 in January 1968. [150] In the US, the album sold 1,936,063 copies by 31 December 1967 and 2,373,987 copies by the end of the decade. [151] Harry, Bill (2003). The George Harrison Encyclopedia. London: Virgin Books.
