Magical Mystery Tour 2XLP

Album Details

Part of Capitol/Apple’s quintessential Beatles catalog masters series on LP, Magical Mystery Tour has been remastered by a dedicated team of engineers that includes Guy Massey, Steve Rooke, Sam Okell with Paul Hicks and Sean Magee. Proper care and a painstaking series of steps were taken to ensure that music lovers would hear the Fab Four in all their stereo glory with unprecedented clarity and transparency.

Listeners get a front-row seat for the pitch-shifted vocals and backwards percussion infusing John Lennon’s landmark “Strawberry Fields Forever.” A monumental composition, the song possesses a warmth, breadth, and spaciousness on this analog pressing that will knock back even the most schooled Beatles aficionados. And of course, who doesn’t want to get caught up in the feel-good chants of “All You Need Is Love,” the accenting horns and spiraling orchestrations popping with immense color and texture. There’s reason why.
