Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Magical Mystery Tour are there?

334 vinyl pressings of Magical Mystery Tour are listed here, from 35 countries, released between 1967 and 2024.

When was Magical Mystery Tour first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, Canada, Colombia, Israel and more. One of them is Capitol Records SMAL-2835, released December 6, 1967.

How do I tell if my copy of Magical Mystery Tour is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SMAL-2835, MAL 2835, SMAL 2835, MAL-2835) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SMAL-1-2835-B-2• 1 ✲ and SMAL-2-2835-B-4• 1 ✲. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Magical Mystery Tour on vinyl worth?

It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
