This is THE BEATLES COLLECTION by JOHN, PAUL, GEORGE & RINGO, a beautiful 14-LP box set manufactured in the UK and released December 2, 1978. It is an original set, not a reproduction or replica edition. This is the real thing! 

Contained herein is the official catalog of the Fab Four in stereo with a then new compilation called Rarities which differs from the US version. In addition to the LPs the collection includes all original inner sleeves, the cardboard cutout sheet in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the photographs & poster in The White Album (actually titled The Beatles). The photos are the very first printing with glossy face.

The hard shell, flip-top style box is in NEAR MINT MINUS condition with minor flaws shown in the pictures above. The box is not as intensely blue as in the above pix -- the flash really brought out the colour. The jackets are NM+ to MINT (mostly MINT); the inner sleeves, cutout sheet, photographs and poster are all MINT. Labels and playing surfaces are solidly MINT having never been played! 

This box set has been well cared for over the years by one owner. A stunning piece!

Please Note: FREE SHIPPING TO USA ADDRESSES.  NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON THIS ITEM.

When you buy from a small Mom & Pop business you are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home, a second yacht or a four hundred million dollar golden parachute.  Instead, you’re helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay a mortgage, or a student pay for college. Our customers are our shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make happy. Thank you for supporting small businesses.
