Already mentioned this stereo in posts on the US mono https://monolover.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-beatlesmagical-mystery-tour-mal.html and the German Apple/HörZu stereo https://monolover.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-beatlesmagical-mystery-tour-shze.html . Those are the ones I usually go to when I want to enjoy this masterpiece today. The mono is my absolute favorite, but it's also nice to hear every track in true stereo and the slightly longer re-mix of "Strawberry Fields Forever", as they appear on the German. However back in the days this US stereo was about the only place where you could hear true stereo mixes of "Hello Goodbye" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" which was magic, and the fact that "Penny Lane", "Baby You're A Rich Man" and "All You Need Is Love" were fakes didn't bother the teen me very much. Played my first stereo copy to pieces, but it was first with the mono I fell completely and utterly in love. Even if a pick-and-mix combining the UK 2xEP with a couple of 45 A:s and B:s it do appear cohesive and then one of the best psych albums ever recorded, regardless of format. It has everything - well written catchy melodies, sincere vocals and experimenting at the forefront of its time. The audio on this copy is just fine, big and well separated. The release was pressed at many plants in US during the sixties. As far as I can figure out the one shown here was made at Capitols pressing plant in Jacksonville 1968. It came in a strurdy glossy fold/out cover with a 24 page booklet stapled inside. (BÄ*) (YZÄ*) (LGÅ*) (MÄGX*)
