MY LAST COPY!!! HIGHLY SOUGHT AUDIOPHILE COLLECTOR'S ITEM! LONG OUT-OF-PRINT! THE BEATLES--"THE BEATLES COLLECTION"
(i/.e. "BLUE BOX"). Supreme 14-LP Audiophile pressing from the United Kingdom, 1978. A Parlophone Records masterpiece!
Spectacular flip-top textured box with original manufacturer's metal enforcements. All 14 original, full-length British-version albums with original cover art work, inserts, etc. 198 classic career-spanning Beatles songs. Truly lovely, resonating sound with astounding clarity that will tantalize your senses.
Album covers are EXCELLENT/VERY GOOD+!!! The only slight imperfections are small splits on some of the album covers that arrived like that from the manufacturer way back when. They do NOT impair the overall visual beauty of the glossy covers.

"HELP!"...A 1.5-inch split on the upper edge of cover; one-inch split on center spine; a one-inch clean and intact split at the bottom edge of cover. "SGT. PEPPER'S..."
