Sadly, there is no good version of Now & Then. The normal Streaming version is too much, the Atmos mix is better but lacks prescence in the chorus and the 7 inch vinyl sounds too muffled. Still like the song tho.

I grew up with the original Capitol 1967 mono. When I finally heard a stereo copy years later I was surprised how flimsy it sounded. Sgt Pepper reprise mono has so much more muscle. Giles did a pretty good job. His stereo feels very mono inspired.

I got the Capitol box sets, and i'm just happy to have them. My volume 2 has the fold down mono mixes and i kinda like them. They're unique. I think that's how some of the albums were released back in the 60's. And show how badly Capitol has continually handled the Beatle catalog in thr last 60+ years. Great video.

Why don't you say one more time how it's not your cup of tea. That to me sounds like a really nice, really diplomatic way of saying "I fucking hate it." But then you like listening to it becuase of the sound quality... even though you fucking hate the music? Wow. I don't get that at all. I listen to music because I love the music. If I don''t like the music, I could be there in the recording studio between all the instruments hearing it in pristine 3D and I'd still hate it. Obviously, with music I love, the better the sound quality, the greater the experience, but you can't always have that as much as you'd like. BTW, absolutely brilliant album. Sorry you missed the boat on it... but enjoy that sound quality????

Hey Brain - I agree with your takes here. This album has always been mediocre to me. It's got some really solid songs, but it feels like it's a bunch of filler that John slapped together to sell more units without workshopping them into fully realized songs. That's what was so magical about the Beatles, especially in their prime - they feel workshopped into a fully fleshed out realized song. This album's overall vibe, at least to me, is rushed and almost demo material put on an LP. To call it a masterpiece is a stretch. Thanks for your videos.

One thing I corrected for my copy of this box set was to replace the stereo MMT with an original UK Mono MMT EP set. It had always bugged me that they had included the stereo MMT only, as all the other EPs were mono. The later CD version of the box set did include the MMT mono mixes. Many of these EPs sound great and the Long Tall Sally EP has unique mono mixes which is a real treat! Always wished they’d done 12” EPs as the Stones EPs had been issued in the 1980s.

I bought this on day of release in the UK (£21.49 in HMV - still have the price sticker). The Magical Mystery Tour EP you have there is the same as mine. This EP was initially released without the yellow Parlophone and I don't believe it's ever been released with it. I have a first press mono and stereo and they're both Silver Parlophone.

A friend gifted this to me many years ago and I couldn't have been happier!!! EPs have always been one of my favourite formats due to their versatility!!! Over the years they have taken the role of "Greatest Hits", short studio albums, mini live albums, housing tracks that do not belong anywhere else, cover versions packages, US singles not released in the UK exclusives, mini soundtracks, tributes to other artists and maybe for more uses I can't recall right now!!! Maybe we should also give Ringo some credit for rejuvenating the format (albeit pricely), but it seems that EPs are here to stay!!! Hooray!!!!!
