The notable German edition: Magical Mystery Tour Plus Other Songs
The German edition of Magical Mystery Tour is notable for offering, for the first time, true stereo remixes of 3 of the non-soundtrack songs found on side B: Penny Lane, Baby You re A Rich Man, and All You Need Is Love.
In reality it wasn t until the second version of the album, released in 1973, that these songs were featured on the album.
Second version, released 1973 matrix SHZE 327 A-1 and SHZE 327 B-3 . The second version utilized the 1969 stereo mix of All You Need Is Love from the Yellow Submarine LP as well as new stereo mixes of Penny Lane and Baby You re A Rich Man. It also included a brand-new remix of Strawberry Fields Forever with greater stereo separation, improved percussion, and moving of the left to right panned cello and trumpet heard at the edit point of the song to only the right. This cover features the black and orange H rzu logo in the upper left and an Apple-branded variation released around the same time features the Apple logo in the upper left instead. This is generally considered to be the best-sounding stereo vinyl pressing available.
