ORIGINAL MFSL The Beatles The Collection 14 Record Box Set. This is the limited edition box set from 1982. I am the original. I was 14 when I purchased this set and have had it since. I thought I had kept these as protected as I could but unfortunately, time has not been kind to some of the vinyl. The condition of the records are down below.

Let’s start with the box. Box is in excellent shape. As shown in the pictures, there’s a couple marks on the back but overall, for a 40 year old container, it’s in excellent condition.

Also, included is the book that contains the certificate of authenticity with the number of the set (#12,389)  and the covers of all the released albums included. The book still has the dust cover on and overall it’s in excellent condition aside from the slight bend in the top right corner as shown.

I am also including the original Geo disc cartridge alignment tool. The condition of this is excellent.

All of the outer sleeves and inlays are in excellent condition with maybe some wear at the corners. Aside from Sgt. Pepper which has a couple crease marks on them. Some have slight "yellowing" due to age.

Now about the vinyl. Below is the breakdown for each record. I’m being as upfront as possible so there’s no confusion. Please read on:
