THE BEATLES COLLECTION (December 1978 - EMI/Parlophone BC 13) - (OC 162-53163/53176)
A set of the Beatles' twelve British studio albums, plus one additional record, Rarities, of selected tracks, many of which had never been issued on any U.K. LP before. The LPs were encased in a blue, textured cardboard box with a fold-open top. The set's title and facsimiles of the Beatles autographs were embossed on the front of the box in gold lettering. Aside from minor wear on the blue box's bottom left corner from years in storage, these records are in pristine condition.
"In the first week of November 1978, EMI Records announced plans for a "Beatles Gift Box" to be issued simultaneously in England and America. The package would consist of the Beatles' original twelve British studio albums plus an additional record, Beatles Rarities, made up of the singles that hadn't yet been included on their LPs. The thirteen discs, plus a composite poster of the group, would come encased in a durable blue cardboard box.
The American set, titled The Beatles Collection, was delivered to record stores in mid-December 1978, just in time for Christmas. This release marked the first time Capitol Records had ever marketed the Beatles' recordings in their original British formats. The package was issued in a numbered, limited edition of 3,000 copies and sold out immediately."
All albums were pressed on their original labels (EMI/Parlophone or Apple) and with their original catalog numbers.
