THE BEATLES - Magical Mystery Tour & Other Splendid Hits

Item Description

Reel-To-Reel,
7 ½ ips ¼" 4-Track Stereo 7" Cine Reel Compilation Club Edition

"An APPLE/E.M.I. recording, released in Australia exclusively by World Tape Club, a division of World Record Club."

World Record Club reel to reel tape. Unlike the LP, which was sourced from the duophonic fake stereo US LP, the WRC cassette and reel versions used the proper stereo mixes. Issued in a black cardboard box with lid attached - which indicates it's probably a 1974 second edition: in 1973, a plastic box with a black base and clear lid was the standard format. Reissued in August 1977, probably as S T 0455.

Offered in two speeds, 3¾ and 7½ inches per second - the packaging is identical, but one of the double-numbers indicates 7½ ips, the other 3¾. On the spine of the box, the non-applicable number was manually shaded out.
