Description

The Beatles Collection MFSL Box Set. The Collection  Original Master Recordings... Limited Edition number 10,382 of 25,000.

1. Comes with the original 14 LPs

2. Geo-Disc" which is a 12 inch plastic platter used to align and set your stylus and cartridge to a transcription deck.

3. The box set also comes with a 12 by 12 40-page color booklet which explains the MFSL process, contains a certificate of authenticity individually numbered (my copy is 10,392). The booklet also contains reproductions of all the Beatles LP covers .


The Beatles: The Collection was a vinyl boxed set of every Beatles album remastered at half speed from the original stereo master recordings, except for Magical Mystery Tour which was mastered from Capitol Records' submasters with the last three tracks in re-channeled stereo.

Release

Released with much anticipation in early October 1982, The Collection was lauded by critics and Beatles fans worldwide for the superb sound, and sold-out completely within the first year. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL) pressed a second run of the Beatles Boxed Set for a total production run of 25,000 over the next two years or until October 1985.

Each album was pressed on black vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan. The album covers were replaced with photographs of tape boxes and log sheet. The original album covers were included in a booklet which also featured a certificate of authenticity as this was a limited edition collection. Missing from this collection were all of the Beatles' singles, extended Play and a few miscellaneous tracks that did not appear on their original UK albums.  The Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (or MFSL ) Beatles Box set was released in 1982 (exact date unknown to me, either October or November). It's official name is "The Beatles/ The Collection" and it's catalogue number is MFSL BC-1.  Shipment by tracked mail.
