WORLD RECORD CLUB
In 1969, the Australian arm of the World Record Club (WRC) decided to enter the pop music field. In doing so, they chose to release the US-album Magical Mystery Tour, under the title Magical Mystery Tour And Other Splendid Hits. It was the only Beatles album issued on the WRC imprint, although in the early 1980s many 'stock' copies of other Beatles albums would find their way to the WRC for sale, identified only by a small WRC sticker on the rear sleeve.
The LP appeared on two main label styles, each having minor typesetting variations. The first style was the classic "S" (for stereo) label, consisting of a large white letter "S" imposed on a blue/green base and surrounded by a black and white strobed border. The second style, consisting of an 18th century trumpeter in green on a blue base, was introduced in August 1972. The "STEREO" text was dropped from the label perimeter in 1979. Only one label pair per style is displayed on this page. Please visit the album page for more information.
