BEATLES SUPERB UK1978 BC13 LP BOX SET COMPLETE WITH RAR

	£		236
	$		313

IN IT'S ORIGINAL BLUE BOX THIS IS THE BC 13 BOX SET RELEASED IN 1978 WHICH NOT ONLY HAS EVERY BEATLES NON COMPILATION LP TO DATE ( UN BARCODED WITH EMI INNERS ALL DATE CODED TO 1977-8 AS THEY SHOULD ) BUT ALSO STILL WITH IT'S OFTEN MISSING LARGE POSTER & THE SAMPLER NOT FOR SALE COPY OF RARITIES WITH DIFFERENT CAT NUMBER TO THE LATER INDIVIDUAL RELEASE !

 L@@K... 

BY THE MID 70'S THE BEATLES CASH COW WAS IN SORE NEED OF INJECTION BY EMI AND THAT SPAWNED THIS RE-ISSUE AS WELL AS A SERIES OF LP COMPILATIONS WHICH START OF NICELY BUT BY THE TIME THEY GET TO THINGS LIKE " REEL MUSIC " GRADUALLY START TO GET A BIT POINTLESS AND CYNICAL.

THIS BOX SET WAS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE BUT IT WAS A MUST HAVE FOR MANY BEATLES COLLECTORS AS IT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO OBTAIN THE RARITIES LP AT THE TIME. OF COURSE EMI WITHIN A YEAR HAD RELEASED RARITIES AS A STAND ALONE LP WITH ALMOST IDENTICAL SLEEVE SO THOSE BEATLES FANS WHO BOUGHT THE BOX SET LIKE ME WERE WELL AND TRUELY MILKED HOWEVER THE CAT NUMBER WAS CHANGED SO THE BOX SET REMAINS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE YOU CAN FIND THE " SAMPLER " SLEEVED VARIANT OF RARITIES

ALSO AT THE TIME ( 1978 ) THESE BOXES CAME WITH A VERY LARGE FOLD OUT POSTER ( WHICH AS BASICALLY THE WHITE ALBUM PHOTO'S BLOWN UP AND JOINED TOGETHER , NO EXPENSE SPARED BY EMI ) WHICH FOR SOME REASON IS NOW OFTEN MISSING, WELL THIS COPY STILL HAS IT !

ALSO AT THE TIME EMI HAD STARTED TO DATE CODE THEIR INNERS SO ALL BOX SET LP'S SHOULD HAVE INNERS DATE CODED WITH EITHER 1977 OR 1978 TO BE CORRECT, AGAIN THIS COPY IS SPOT ON.

MANY OF THE LPS'S PRESENTED HERE HAVE CLEARLY NEVER HAD A LIFE OUTSIDE THE BOX SET AND SO MOST ARE FACTORY FRESH NR MINT AND COMPLETE WITH ALL INSERTS IN THE CASE OF SGT PEPPER AND THE WHITE ALBUM !

FINALLY A POSTAGE NOTE FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS. BEACUSE THE WEIGHT IS WELL IN EXCESS OF 4 KILOS THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE SENT EITHER BY COURIER OF IF SENT BY POST OVER 3 SEPERATE PACKAGES ( MAX WEIGHT FOR ONE PACKAGE IS 3 KILOS ) THIS MEANS THE DELIVERY COSTS ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE SO THE IDEAL BIDDER IS A DOMESTIC UK ONE WHO CAN COLLECT IN PERSON

HOWEVER I WILL STILL SELL THIS INTERNATIONALLY AS I KNOW THIS BOX IS OF GREAT INTEREST ESPECIALLY IN THE U.S.A. AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN SUGGESTIONS AS TO HOW TO SEND THIS IN THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE MANNER BUT I ASK ALL INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS TO PLEASE BEAR THIS WARNING IN MIND WHEN BIDDING , THANK YOU.

FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLS SEE MY FURTHER NOTES BELOW 

NON UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE ...MY RETURNS POLICY ONLY APPLICABLE TO UK..RETURNS OUTSIDE UK BUYER WILL HAVE TO COVER ALL POSTAGE COSTSFurthermore international bidders please also note that due to ebays new "buyer protection " policy many sellers now refuse to sell internationally anymore. I am not one of those sellers yer but please note I do now reserve the right to refuse to complete a sale to any international bidder that may have low or bad feedback or for any other reason and this is especially so if the item sells for over GBP 100, like I say this is purely a result of ebay/paypals new policy that make it now even harder for sellers to  trade safely internationally. Please bare this in mind if you win an item but find that it has been offered first instead to a domestic UK Bidder.

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you. 

ALL MY RECORDS ARE USUALLY SOLD ON VISUAL GRADINGS ONLY, THEREFORE, WITH THE SINGULAR EXCEPT ION OF THOSE RARE OCCASSIONS WHERE I DO STATE THEY HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED, AS ALL DISCS ARE 2ND HAND ANY PLAYING DEFECTS ARE THEREFORE CAVIAT EMPTOR AND SO NON REFUNDABLE. I ONLY REFUND  WHERE AN ACTUAL GRADING OF MINE IS DISPUTED     

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO BE READ,
