The Beatles 

E.P. Collection
1981

EMI BP 14

A complete collection reissue of the Beatles' twelve original mono EPs, along with the two-record stereo Magical Mystery Tour set and a bonus EP containing four supposedly true stereo tracks.

All EPs were issued on the Parlophone label with their original catalog numbers.

All records were packaged in their original full-color, laminated covers and came complete with any original enclosures (Magical Mystery Tour's twenty-four-page story booklet with lyrics).

The EPs were encased in a blue, textured cardboard box with a fold-open top, identical in style to the Beatles album package. The set's title and facsimiles of the Beatles' autographs were embossed on the front of the box in gold lettering.

Record Vinyl: Mint unplayed, amazing

Labels: Mint, unplayed 

Sleeves: Mint, amazing. Just a few marks from what was probably the original boxing. Fresh and shiny. Amazing

Box: G+, There is a stain to the front of the box. Please see the pictures.

Play Test: None

The set contained:

1 - The Beatles' Hits
2 - Twist And Shout
3 - The Beatles No. I
4 - All My Loving
5 - Long Tall Sally
6 - Extracts From The Film A Hard Day's Night

Track Differences:

Baby You're A Rich Man - true stereo version, previously available just on the German Magical Mystery Tour and on the U.K. cassette tape edition of Magical Mystery Tour.

The Inner Light - the first-ever stereo release of this song.

She's A Woman - true stereo version, previously issued just in Australia/New Zealand and in Singapore/Malaysia/Hong Kong, and most recently included in World Records' The Beatles Box. However, this pressing also contained a four beat count-off by Paul McCartney that can't be found anywhere else.

This Boy - although listed as the true stereo version previously issued in Canada and Australia, this track was actually pressed here in "reprocessed" stereo.

We use Goldmine standards for grading. I will make every attempt to grade each part of the record individually. If after you make a purchase, you feel my grading is inaccurate, please let me know and you can return the item and I will pay the shipping. That said, here are the standard grades for record albums, from best to worst. 

MINT (M) These are absolutely perfect in every way. We will only use this for unopened items or rare situations 

NEAR MINT (NM OR M-) A good description of a NM record is “it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time.” In other words, it’s nearly perfect. NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must be absent; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.) NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind. 

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E) A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint.” Most collectors, especially those who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it toward the high end of the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+). VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint. 

Very Good (VG) Many of the imperfections found on a VG+ record are more obvious on a VG record. VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape. VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too. 

Good (G),
Good Plus (G+)
or Very Good Minus (VG–) The record still plays through without skipping, so it can serve as filler until something better comes along. But it has significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious damage caused by someone trying to remove tape or stickers and failing miserably. A Good to VG– cover has ring wear to the point of distraction, has seam splits obvious on sight and may have even heavier writing, such as, for example, huge radio station letters written across the front to deter theft. 

POOR (P) and Fair (F) Records are cracked, impossibly warped, or skip and/or repeat when an attempt is made to play them.
