Comments:
(from the sleeve) TMOQ Gazette - Volume 12 - We Are The Eggmen ! (Who Is The Walrus ? Goo Goo Goo Joob !)

Disc 1
-- MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR - And Other Beatle Rarities --
The film music with a new clarity with the vocals pronounced even better than the remasters and new mixes of incidental music and soundtrack.
Those pieces all recorded for the film, including a stereo mix of the Bonzos contribution, have been carefully assembled together
to play as one continuous piece, like an abridged version of the film itself, only audio - not video.

Disc 2
Early takes, and special mixes of the Magical Mystery era output.

JPGR Comments :

Another nice presentation in the "TMOQ Gazette" style.
A solid card DVD-sized booklet with 24 pages of information, pictures and an interview from 27th December 1967
with David Frost that was made the day after the M.M.T. broadcast and discusses the broadcast and critical reaction.
