• Description
  LIMITED GLOBAL PRINT RUN OF 50,000 UNITS HAS BEEN SOLD OUT
  NOW OUT OF PRINT AND FUTURE BOX SET PRESSINGS ARE UNLIKELY

  The Beatles stereo vinyl box set is a true collector’s treasure, now out of print and increasingly hard to find, especially in its original factory shrinkwrap. Released on November 13th, 2012 in a limited worldwide run of just 50,000 copies, this set presents the band’s complete core catalog in stunning stereo sound. Each of the 13 studio albums, plus the essential Past Masters compilation, has been faithfully remastered from the same acclaimed 2009 digital sources that revitalized The Beatles’ music for a new generation. Pressed on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl, every record delivers rich, full-bodied audio that honors the enduring brilliance of the original recordings.

  Beyond the sound, this set is a meticulous tribute to authenticity and detail. Each album is housed in its original artwork and packaging, complete with the extras fans know and love. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band includes its famous cut-out sheet, Magical Mystery Tour comes with its 24-page booklet, and The Beatles (White Album) features the band member portraits along with the iconic poster. Past Masters, an indispensable two-disc collection of non-album singles and rarities, is accompanied by a 4-page, 12-inch color information sheet. These touches elevate the box beyond a simple reissue, offering an immersive Beatles experience.

  A true highlight of this collection is the exclusive 252-page 12”x12” deluxe hardback book, which is only available in this set. Lavishly designed, it explores the history of each Beatles album with newly written essays and striking visuals. It also provides fascinating insight into the mastering process and the enduring cultural importance of vinyl as a format. Packed with rare photographs and fresh layouts, this book is both a scholarly resource and a beautiful keepsake for fans and collectors alike.

  For any serious Beatles enthusiast or vinyl devotee, this stereo vinyl box set represents the definitive way to experience the band’s legendary catalog. With its combination of impeccable remastering, faithful reproduction of original extras, and the exclusive deluxe book, it is both a listening experience and a museum-quality piece of music history. Out of print and limited in number, it has already become one of the most sought-after Beatles collectibles, making it a wise acquisition for those who value timeless music and enduring craftsmanship.

  This particular copy is still sealed in its factory shrinkwrap. Refer to the photographs to note the 4 shrinkwrap tears and a scratch on the front of the outer slipcover. The scratch does not seem deep enough to have damaged the box the slipcover is protecting.

  Since this item is sealed, we can not guarantee the condition of the contents within the box.

  We provide high quality photographs so you can gauge condition for yourself. We do our best to describe condition issues that may not be obvious in the images. For more information on how we grade, check out the section below.

  To prevent cover seam splits, unsealed records will have their media removed from their covers and both the media, in its original inner sleeve, and the cover will be slipped into an outer poly sleeve for further protection. We ship in purpose-built LP mailers with cardboard stiffners to prevent folding. To reduce our carbon footprint and save you some cost, we usually reuse mailers we've received in the past.

  Please check out our store. We have all kinds of media including music, movies, books, and memorabilia.

• How We Grade

  Record grading is not a definite science and is subjective. We try our best to be as accurate as possible and follow the Goldmine Grading System described in the table below. We provide high quality photographs so you can gauge condition for yourself. In the item description, we do our best to describe condition issues that may not be obvious in the images.

  Grade Cover (Outer Sleeve) Media (Vinyl) Near Mint (NM) Nearly perfect, no writing, no after-purchase stickers, no markings, free of creases, ring wear, and seam splits. Shiny/glossy, no visible surface defects, label is centered, very little (if any) spindle marks, plays without significant surface noise. Excellent (E) There may be very slight ring wear or discolorization that is barely noticable. There may be slight wear, like very minor corner or seam wear or a bottom split that is less than an inch long. There may be a discount notch, drill hole, or corner cut. Slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect playability. May have a slight warp that does not impact listening experience. Very Good (VG) Imperfections are more noticable than above. Ring wear, corner or edge damage will be obvious. Some creases may be visible and seam splits may appear on more than one side, but are not obvious. There may be some writing too. Usually have some scratches that may be audible, especially in soft passages and during song gaps. Any noise does not overpower the music and is otherwise a fine listening experience. Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Good (G) There is significant ring wear, corner and edge damage and heavy wear. There may be heavy writing, tape, or stickers, or residue left from a removed sticker. Seam splits are obvious and significant. Plays through without skipping but there is significant surface noise and the label may be worn. The surface has long since lost its luster. Fair (F), Poor (P) Heavily damaged. Entire seams may be split. Significant warping, noise and skipping.

  We believe the bar is set so high with the mint grade that we don't use it. As Goldmine says, "These are absolutely perfect in every way. Often rumored but rarely seen, mint should never be used as a grade unless more than one person agrees that the record or sleeve truly is in this condition."
