The six songs the Beatles recorded for their next release were not enough for an LP and too many for an EP. The Beatles chose a double EP set with three songs per disc - a first. Stapled into the middle was a 24-page booklet. The EP also came with a lyrics sheet printed on light blue paper.

The pictures used on the EP sleeve were taken from the film of the same name.


 
Liner notes:

AWAY IN THE SKY, beyond the clouds, live 4 or 5 Magicians. By casting WONDERFUL SPELLS they turn the Most Ordinary Coach Trip into a MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR. If you let yourself go, the Magicians will take you away to marvellous places. 

Maybe YOU'VE been on a MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR without even realising it. 

Are you ready to go?

SPLENDID! The story begins on Page 7 ... or 8 ....
