Description
'The Beatles: The Collection' is a vinyl box set of every Beatles album remastered at half speed from the original stereo master recordings, except for Magical Mystery Tour which was mastered from Capitol Records' sub-masters with the last three tracks in re-channeled stereo.
Each album was pressed on virgin vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan (JVC) ensuring the best sound quality possible.
The album covers were replaced with photographs of tape boxes and log sheets.
The original album covers were included in a booklet which also featured a certificate of authenticity as this was a limited edition collection.
Released with much anticipation in early October 1982, 'The Collection' was lauded by critics and fans worldwide for the superb sound, and sold-out completely within the first year.
MFSL repressed a second run of the Beatles Box Set for a total production run of 25,000 over the next two years or until October 1985.
The vinyl records in this box set are indeed 'first pressings' from 1982.
The MFSL Certificate of Authenticity bears the Limited Edition Number 14!
That's right, number 14 of 25,000!
According to Michael Grantham of MFSL, numbers 11-100 were used as promotional items with lower numbers (1-10) going to the 4 Beatles, George Martin and EMI execs.
Possibly pressed on the first day of production!
