I think we should be clear with this one that the soundtrack for Magical Mystery Tour is not the full compilation. It's just side one, as evidenced here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_mystery_tour
so in the cover art it's everything in the banner above the picture - So no Strawberry fields, Penny Lane, All you Need is Love etc.

Don't believe everything you see in Wikipedia
As both Paul McCartney and George Harrison have stated, it was the Beatles who invented rock videos. The Fab Four created promo films for Ticket to Ride, Paperback Writer, Rain, Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane prior to the release of "Magical Mystery Tour" in 1967. It is the video performances of Blue Jay Way, I Am the Walrus, Your Mother Should Know, etc. which are, without a doubt, the highlight of "Mystery Tour". Admittedly, the movie is amateurish; lacking in plot and void of any sensibility. Taken as a film per se, "Magical Mystery Tour" would rate 1-star. However, taken as a compilation of videos, the film greatly succeeds. (I simply skip the nonsensical parts and head straight for the musical performances.) The music is, of course, absolutely impeccable and the videos are so much more engaging than current MTV fare. In fact, the clip for I Am the Walrus-- with its dancing "eggmen"-- may just be the coolest, most off-beat song promo ever filmed. The spot for Fool on the Hill --with Paul gazing high atop the Pyrennes-- is absolutely beautiful and quite befitting of that elegant song. Also, you just gotta love that silly wizard garb the guys break out for their performance of the title song. On the downside, the DVD itself is subpar. The picture, in dire need of remastering, is inexcusably grainy. Quite frankly, the film looks like a cheap VHS transfer. So why 4-stars for a plotless movie wrapped in a lousy DVD presentation? One word: MUSIC! More specifically, great Beatle music. That is the saving grace of "Magical Mystery Tour".
These are both great soundtracks but I voted for MMT

The soundtrack was far more favourably received than the film. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for best album in 1968 and reached number 1 in the US for eight weeks.
