The Beatles Collection is a boxed set of vinyl albums released in the United States in November 1978 and the following month in the United Kingdom containing the official catalogue of The Beatles in stereo, and a new compilation called Rarities. The American issue by Capital Records contained the British pressings of the same 12 original Beatles albums, with an American pressing of Rarities. The American pressing of Rarities differed from its British counterpart in that it included the previously released English-language versions of "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand," rather than the German-language version found on the British pressing.  The American edition of the boxed set was a limited edition of only 3,000 numbered copies.  The limited availability of the American release resulted in the British release becoming popular as an import into the US. Ed. Note: The limited availabilty of the American release also increased the popularity of the Japanese and other import releases.  WIKPEDIA

Along with the LPs listed below with their sleeves, the collection also include the inserts contained in the individual albums including the cardboard cutout sheet in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the photos and poster in The Beatles. [Ed. Note: This Japanese pressing includes Rarities

Audiophile company Mobie Fidelity Sound Labs released a similar boxed set in 1981 called The Beatles: The Collection consisting of the 12 British versions of the albums (Rarities was not included, but Magical Mystery Tour was), pressed off the original Abbey Road studio master tapes (except for MMT) using a technique called "Half Speed Mastering" and pressed on Japanese "virgin" vinyl. The set was highly acclaimed for its sonic accuracy and only approximately 25,000 were released. In this case, the actual covers for each album was a photo of a studio master tape (the same photos appear on all the covers) along with the engineer's log sheet. The original album covers were put together in a full-sized booklet". WIKIPEDIA
