Sgt. Pepper's for sure. It has the most best tunes of either album and a much stronger underlying "concept".

Here is my attempt of combining the two albums. I've tried to keep Sgt. Pepper's flow intact while inserting Magical Mystery Tour songs at seemingly appropriate places.
So let me introduce to you:
Sgt. Pepper's Magical Mystery Club Band
DISC ONE
1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
2. With a Little Help from My Friends
3. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
4. Geting Better
5. Fixing a Hole
6. Penny Lane
7. Blue Jay Way
8. Your Mother Should Know
9. She's Leaving Home
10. Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!
11. Within You Without You
12. Hello Goodbye
DISC TWO
1. Magical Mystery Tour
2. The Fool on the Hill
3. Strawberry Fields Forever
4. Lovely Rita
5. Flying
6. When I'm Sixty-Four
7. Baby You're a Rich Man
8. Good Morning Good Morning
9. I Am the Walrus
10. All You Need Is Love
11. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)
12. A Day in the Life
.....Thus I have created the greatest album in the history of mankind, in my opinion. I may save it as a playlist, I like the idea so much

Let's make it a triple album
 !!
Add Carnival of Light, Only A Northern Song, It's All Too Much, You Know My Name (Look Up The Number), All Together Now, Shirley's Wild Accordion and Jessie's Dream plus whatever I'm sure they committed to tape in 1967 but never released such as the jamming they did on 6 May.

A difficult choice. Pepper has A Day in the Life but the MMT album has more good tracks. Also it has no bad tracks whereas Pepper has When I’m 64, Lovely Rita and Good Morning which are way below average. I voted for MMT in the end but with some uncertainty as it was not conceived as an album. Merging the two together produces possibly the greatest album ever: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band With a Little Help from My Friends Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Fixing a Hole Hello, Goodbye All You Need Is Love Magical Mystery Tour Strawberry Fields Forever I Am the Walrus Within You Without You Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) A Day in the Life Having 7 original Pepper tracks neatly bookend 6 MMT tracks is a coincidence but it works very well in terms of album balance. |

Magical Mystery Tour. I just think it's stronger overall. Sgt. Pepper have some killing songs though.

MMT on CD is a clear winner for me. Although Sgt Pepper is incredibly well produced, there just aren't that many songs that I like on it. Add Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields to the already impressive EP tracks Fool on the Hill (Paul's finest psychedelic moment), I Am The Walrus (John at his acerbic best) and Blue Jay Way (George mixing Indian drones with rock far more successfully than Within You Without You) and you've got a high point for mainstream pop/rock that has never been equalled. |

To repeat from elesewhere. In the liner notes of the first CD issue of Sgt Pepper, George Martin reveals that an alternative play order was first considered - he gives it and recommends programming your CD player to what might have been. That suggests that the concept as a whole was less coherent than the now over familiar play order has brain washed us into believing.

Lennon himself said that the "concept" of Sgt Pepper as being a concert by an alter-ego band extended as far as the first 2 tracks (where the title track segues into "With a little help from my friends") and after that they lost interest in it and it just became a standard album.

Sgt Pepper was the first lp i bought and made a huge impression on me, i played it almost non-stop, then MMT was released as a double 7" EP booklet later that year, accompanied by a TV film at Christmas.
The film was great though i wish we'd had colour then, not many liked it but making the short film was a real tonic for the band after all their troubles. MMT was released in USA as a full lp album containing some singles that had been released in the UK, Strawberry Fields, All you need is Love et al but still lies in the shadow of Pepper.

Roll Up fot the Magical Mystery Tour...never though that highly of Sgt. Pepper's though it contains some fabulous material (personally feel Rubber Soul and Revolver were much more cohesive albums than the 67 twins)
