==Release history==
In 1968 and 1971, true-stereo mixes were created for "Penny Lane", "Baby, You're a Rich Man" and "All You Need Is Love",{{sfn|Lewisohn|2005|p=131}} which allowed the first true-stereo version of the ''Magical Mystery Tour'' LP to be issued in [[West Germany]] in 1971.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rocktownhall.com/blogs/magical-mystery-tour-reconsidered-in-tru |title=Magical Mystery Tour Reconsidered ...

When standardising the Beatles' releases for the worldwide compact disc release in 1987, EMI issued ''Magical Mystery Tour'' as a full-length album in true stereo.{{sfn|Miles|2001|p=286}} It was the only example of an American reconfigured release being favoured over the EMI version.{{sfn|Heylin|2007|p=276}} The inclusion of the 1967 singles on CD with this album meant that the ''Magical Mystery Tour'' CD would be of comparable length to the band's CDs of its original albums, and that the additional five tracks originally featured on the American LP would not need to be included on ''[[Past Masters]]'', a two-volume compilation designed to accompany the initial CD album releases and provide all non-album tracks (mostly singles) on CD format.<ref>{{cite web|last=Blackard|first=Cap|url=http://consequenceofsound.net/2009/09/27/album-review-the-beatles-past-masters-remastered/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100115201612/http://consequenceofsound.net/2009/09/27/album-review-the-beatles-past-masters-remastered/ |archive-date=15 January 2010 |title=Album Review: the Beatles&nbsp;– Past Masters [Remastered&#93; « Consequence of Sound |date=27 September 2009|access-date=2 March 2020}}</ref>
