Description
"The Beatles Box" - Catalogue no. SM 701/8
An 8 album (L.P. or cassette) boxed set issued by E.M.I. through it's "World Records" subsiduary.
Unlike the Beatles Collection above released two years earlier, this set is actually new albums in new sleeves. The set was advertised vigourously in the national press from 5th November 1980 through into 1981. This means it was at the forefront right across the period of John's murder, and therefore sales must have been quite good, but as this box set was sold only by mail order the figures did not qualify for chart entry, and consequently are not publicly known.
All the songs throughout the eight L.P.'s which were selected by Simon Sinclair, are arranged chronologically, and the covers reflect this, in that each has a picture from the appropriate period on the front, and a well-written biography of the period by Hugh Marshall on the rear. Albums have never been played or removed from sleeves.
