MONO The Beatles MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR 1st U.S pressing SCRANTON PRESSING PLANT as indicated by the "I AM" in the runouts. This is an original from 1967 on Capitol rainbow labels. The cover appears to be a Stereo cover, but the vinyl is definitely MONO.
VINYL in VG condition with several light hairlines and paper scuffs. Play tested all the way through to determine grading. Side A is cleaner and closer to VG+, side  2 has a repeating soft click on "penny Lane" for a few rotations, not very distracting in my opinion. Label on side 2 has paper loss damage (see photos), side 1 label in good shape.
COVER in VG+ Stereo cover as indicated by the "SMAL" on back cover instead of "MAL". At some point the covers were replaced. Booklet is included and still attached except one staple that has loosened. Very light rubbing, a few areas of light staining, close to EX condition if not for the booklet starting to come loose, very crisp edges. the spine is solid and legible, small corner bump at top.
