Description
A set of the Beatles' twelve British studio albums, plus one additional record, Rarities, of selected tracks, many of which had never been issued on any U.K. LP before.
This set was assembled sometime after November 1985 based on inner sleeve dating.
****I am including, as a bonus, a very nice copy of "A Collection of Beatle Oldies" LP that was not part of the original Blue Box set.****
The albums in this set are in very nice condition. Both the vinyl and cover sleeves rate from VG+ to near mint condition. The box is also in excellent condition, with very minor tears on both hinge corners. See photos for condition.
Sgt Pepper cutouts are here and the White Album has the poster and glossies.
I cleaned all of the records with a Record Doctor VI Wet Vacuum cleaner and placed all of the discs in new anti-static inner sleeves.
UPDATE (7/30/21): I was asked whether the word "Renting" or "Rental" was on the outer rim of the vinyl labels. These have the word "RENTING".
All vinyl will be packaged outside the outer sleeves so as not to damage them in shipping. This set ships insured with a signature required.
