Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 August 2016What I am reviewing here is the vinyl version of the Magical Mystery tour.
I had been thinking of buying this album for a few weeks. And after flicking through endless reviews, I realised that they were all reviews of the actual album itself. Which was not what I was looking for. I mean, everyone knows that the album itself is outstanding. You can argue about coherence and psychedelics until the cows come home, but at the end of the day everyone knows the album, and no-ones opinions on the reviews is going to change how anyone feels about it.
But what no-one was reviewing was the physical vinyl album itself. Which was what I wanted. So, here is my little review for anyone in the same position as myself.
From the start I have to say that this edition has been done really well. The album comes in a gate-fold sleeve with a thick spine. It has a really high gloss finish and is made of nice and thick card. It is a really nice thing to hold in your hand. It is weighty too, because it is pressed in 180gm vinyl. Also, the album comes with a 24 page booklet with photos and a comic book accompaniment to the music. This is big too. It is 12" square and fits into one side of the gate-fold sleeve.
So, on the whole the physical vinyl album release has been really well done. It is really well made and is a joy to hold and flick through. I am super pleased with it, and would recommend it to anyone. It is a high quality reproduction of the original, and will look great in anyone's record collection. And because it is pressed on 180gm vinyl, it sounds fantastic too.
