ATTENTION THE BEATLES COLLECTORS!     

HERE IS A 1980 LIMITED EDITION BOX SET OF EIGHT LPs:"THE BEATLES BOX" ON THE EMI PRESSED PARLOPHONE LABELS FOR THE MAIL ORDER ONLY WORLD RECORD CLUB. THIS SET HAS INDIVIDUAL LAMINATED COVERS SLEEVES AND THE OUTER BOX.

THIS SET WAS ONLY AVAILABLE AS AN EXPENSIVE MAIL ORDER ITEM FOR A FEW MONTHS WITH MANY OPTING FOR THE CASSETTE VERSION!

CONTAINING THE MAJORITY OF THE BAND'S 1962-1970 STUDIO RECORDINGS WITH MOST IN STEREO. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF INTERESTING ALTERNATIVE VERSIONS INCLUDED!

"ALL MY LOVING" HAS THE MIX THAT STARTS WITH RINGO PROVIDING A HI-HAT CYMBAL INTRODUCTION! "AND I LOVE HER" HAS A MUCH LONGER INSTRUMENTAL PASSAGE AT THE END!

THESE MIXES I BELIEVE ENDED UP ON OVERSEAS VERSIONS BUT EITHER WAY IT'S ESSENTIAL FOR ANY SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTOR!

IT'S A FANTASTIC SET FOR ANY YOUNGER BUYER WHO HAS VERY LITTLE BEATLES!

THE INDIVIDUAL SLEEVES HAVE INTERESTING PHOTOS AND INTELLIGENT SLEEVE NOTES!

IN 1980 MOST COPIES SOLD WERE PLAYED ON EQUIPMENT OFTEN THAT HAD HEAVY PICKUPS AND RADIOGRAMS THAT ENCOURAGED THE USE OF AUTO-CHANGERS THAT WOULD SCUFF AND SCRATCH THE DELICATE GROOVES.

THIS SET HAS NOT HAD MUCH USE AT ALL WITH GLEAMING SURFACES AND ONLY SOME FAINT SURFACE MARKS ON SOME OF THE DISCS.ONLY A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS!

STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION.

THE COVERS HAVE SOME SMALL CREASES BUT NO WRITING OR REPAIRS.

THE OUTER BOX HAS SOME EDGE AND SURFACE WEAR AS WELL AS A COUPLE OF SMALL PIECSE OF SELLOTAPE ADDED TO FORM AS A CRUDE HINGE.IT MAY BE REMOVABLE WITH CARE.

 PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVERS AND ALL 16 LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW AND REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE MAGNIFICENT AND ESSENTIAL  LPs FROM ME ON EBAY THIS WEEK AND TO FOLLOW.  PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME. 

THIS IS VERY HEAVY ITEM WHICH IS REFLECTED IN MY POSTAGE RATES WITH SOLID PACKING.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
