Review: Beatles Magical Mystery Tour - The jacket is impractical Review: Your Mother Should Know..... this album is a treasure! - This review is for the 2009 remastered reissue from 2012. Let's begin with the album - an absolute treasure. The history of this album is quite an interesting one. Originally a 6 track double EP in the UK (side A) released in conjunction with the bands 1967 film, the song listing was then extended to warrant a full LP release in the US with the addition of 5 1967 singles (side B). I really enjoy Side A and there are some great songs included such as 'The Fool on the Hill' and 'I am the Walrus'; however, in my opinion, side B is just a revelation of timeless tracks and quite possible one of the strongest B sides of a Beatles album ever released. Concerning my order, I received the 2012 reissue with 2009 remastering. There are a couple of more recent UK pressings that have subsequently been released (a 2014 mono reissue and a 2017 DeAgostini reissue) so it's worth checking which issue you receive in the post as the 2014 mono is a little 'rarer'. The album packaging is superb - gatefold sleeve, glossy cover, 24 page booklet, and a beautiful thick spine. The vinyl is also fantastic - 180g heavyweight vinyl without a mark or hair on. Now we come to the sticking point. So, I've read several reviews on desertcart regarding the sound and production issues. On the one hand I can completely empathize with those who have the original albums or singles and the stereo mixes may sound a little 'off' - especially when there is a £30 price tag attached. Growing up on a 1990s CD reissue, I can not say that I noticed the sound issue as prominently as others. I loved my music and the album will most certainly be on rotation in my house. The final point, and one that has become more prominent over the last 12 months, is the price. As I stated already, the price tag is around £30 at the moment, which is fairly high compared to the end of August last year when it was under £20. I've noticed vinyl prices in general increase significantly over the last 12 months. Whether this trend changes or not, only time can tell. Personally I would wait, with the hope that prices fall once again, however there is always the risk that prices continue to rise. In conclusion, I love the album, the packaging is superb, but the sound issues and price could be a deciding factor as to whether you buy this or not.

Podróż w czasie
Remastered z 2009 r (wydanie analogowe 2012 r.) to po prostu bajka. Jakość dźwięku jest zniewalająca (wymagany chociaż średniej jakości sprzęt do odsłuchu). Słuchałem The Beatles już w latach 70-tych z oryginalnych płyt wydawanych w Wielkiej Brytanii, USA, Niemczech, które nawiasem mówiąc mam do tej pory - ale jakość dźwięku prezentowana w serii z 2012 r. według mnie jest lepsza. Ogólnie super - polecam. Pozdrawiam - Tom239

Pues qué quieren que les diga... a mí éste me gusta más que el sargento. Me parecen canciones mejor hechas. La edición (Apple Records – 0946 3 82465 2 7) es en digipack pero es sólida. Lleva un libreto de 36 páginas que rproduce la historia y el diseño original.
