Description

THE BEATLES - NUMBER 1 OF A LIMITED AND NUMBERED BLACK MONO LP BOX SET - CAT No: BM 1. RELEASED 1982
A rare opportunity to purchase a low number of this sought after box set.
IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE - There were 3 number 1s manufactured. 
In 1982 I worked in the export sales department at EMI. We were asked by the president of the US Beatles fan club to make them a numbered limited edition of 1000 box sets. My boss suggested that we should make an extra two number 1s, one for him and one for me. Mine is the one I'm selling, my boss's was stolen when his daughter had a party at his house. The other was shipped to the USA with the other 999 numbered boxes. I will include a note with these facts and a photocopy of my then business card to give provenance and authenticity.
CONDITION. Box - Near mint only because there are very slight wear marks on the front. You wouldn't see them if the box was any other colour. Otherwise there are no defects.
Covers - All album covers are mint with no splits, marks or tears. The only exception is the front cover of 'Beatles For Sale' which has a slight crease in the top righthand corner. See photo. Each album features a 'Manufacturers Property - Not For Sale' sticker either on the front or back. All the album inserts are included.
Vinyl - All records are mint and unplayed with no surface marks or scratches. The exception is Revolver which has a manufacturing defect on both sides. I have therefore played the relevant tracks to check for audible sounds. The result is that Side 1, tracks 3 and 6 'I'm only Sleeping' and 'Yellow Submarine' have a few clicks at the end of the tracks. Track 7 'She Said, She Said' has some clicks. Side 2, track 6 'Got To Get You Into My Life' has a few clicks at the end of the track. See the photo that shows the vinyl defect.
I will remove records from sleeves for shipping purposes to avoid the vinyl splitting the covers. For UK buyers, the postage of £9.50 does not include insurance. If successful, please contact me before paying for an accurate cost.
Contents: 10 albums - 11 LPs: Please Please Me With the Beatles Hard Days Night Beatles For Sale Help Rubber Soul Sgt. Pepper Revolver White Album (Double LP) Yellow Submarine
