FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This is the 1988 European first edition on Parlophone (7 91135 1 / BPM 1).

Are "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" included?
No. Both songs belong to the album "Magical Mystery Tour" and are therefore not on Past Masters. Instead you get "Hey Jude", "Rain", "Day Tripper" and the four tracks of the "Long Tall Sally" EP, among others.

What does media NM- / sleeve VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means the records are close to new with at most minimal traces. VG+ (Very Good plus) for the sleeve means light signs of use, here mainly shelf wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
