MONO The Beatles MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR 1st U.S. edition on Capitol Records MAL 2835 released in 1967 on gatefold with booklet.

L.A. California pressing plant as indicated by * in the runouts.

Incredible mastering on this edition, destroys the Scranton and Jacksonville pressings and dare I say, the 2014 repressing!!! I was able to compare these different pressings trying to find the best, and this edition is the hands-down winner. The 2014 is  close second but the L.A. original edged it out with a fuller soundstage and more gritty detail.

VINYL in VG++ on side 1, has sleeve rash and super faint paper scuffs, labels look unused. Has some faint crackle in quietest segments, occasional soft pop, overall excellent.

Side 2 is NEAR MINT, small bit of sleeve rash, no spindle wear.

COVER in VG+ with light ring wear on front, corner damage, yellowing around edges. Spine is fully intact and readable, top and side seams are intact and strong, bottom seam is intact with a few areas of chipping starting.

BOOKLET is fully attached, page 19-20 has tearing and wrinkling (see photos), page 23 has wear along inner edge, last page has wear on inner edge from pages sticking together.
