Description
THE BEATLES - THE BEATLES BOX ( *RARE* UK 8 x LP BOX SET )
THIS RARE BOX SET WAS ONLY AVAILABLE IN 1980 VIA MAIL ORDER. IT WAS RELEASED BY WORLD RECORDS BUT WITH PARLOPHONE LABELS. EACH ALBUM COVERS THE RECORDED OUTPUT OF THE BAND IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER AND EACH ALBUM HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE, FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE WITH A SLEEVE DESIGN REFLECTING EACH PARTICULAR PERIOD OF THE BAND'S HISTORY. WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHED ONE ALBUM COVER AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE STYLE OF THE COVERS.
THE VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT / NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH SUPERB AUDIO. MOST OF THE VINYL IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. RECORD 1 HAS SOME TINY SURFACE HAIRLINES BUT STILL RATES AS EXCELLENT.
THE BOX IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO SPLITS AND THE HINGE IS INTACT AND STRONG. THERE ARE SOME MINOR SCUFFS ON THE CORNERS AND A SCUFF NEAR THE TOP RIGHT OF THE BACK COVER.
EACH OF THE LAMINATED PICTURE COVERS IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.
THIS BOX SET WAS RELEASED IN 1980 ON WORLD RECORDS CAT. NO. SM 701.

ALL THE ALBUMS I SELL ARE VERY SECURELY PACKAGED WITH AT LEAST FOUR STIFFENERS AND NEW PLASTIC SLEEVES. I ALWAYS PLACE THE VINYL OUTSIDE THE OUTER COVER TO AVOID DAMAGING THE COVER IN TRANSIT. I ONLY USE THE HIGHEST GRADE PACKAGING TO ENSURE THE RECORDS ARRIVE IN THE CONDITION I STATE IN MY LISTINGS.
Grading
I grade all my records using the Record Collector's Grading System which is as follows:
Mint - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent - The record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Good - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits discoloration etc.
Fair - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise: it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/ or defaced.
Poor - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
Packaging
Items are sent in new plastic sleeves and high quality, professional record packaging, with at least four stiffeners for protection.
