Story & Background
The 1967 copy of "Magical Mystery Tour" on Parlophone as a double 45 RPM represents its original and most authentic form of release in the United Kingdom, a unique editorial choice in The Beatles' catalogue. Unlike the album we all know today, conceived by Capitol Records in the United States by adding pre-existing singles, at home The Beatles had only recorded six new tracks for the eponymous film. This number of tracks was too extensive for a standard single EP, but insufficient for a full LP according to the conventions of the era. Consequently, Parlophone opted for an innovative double EP, packaged in a luxurious gatefold with a 24-page colour booklet. This edition, with its two 45 RPM records, not only offered a peculiar visual and sonic experience, but also became the first EP to reach the top of the album charts in the United Kingdom. An extraordinary achievement that underscores its historical and collectable importance, making it a fundamental piece. It is a tangible testament to how the band, once again, challenged the norms of the recording industry, creating a notable precedent for the format.
