Description
The Rolls Royce of Beatles LP issues!
From Wikipedia:
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 Box Set for a total production run of 25,000 over the next two years or until October 1985. Today, The Collection can fetch more than $7,000.00 for a mint condition set in online auctions.
Each album was pressed on black vinyl by the Victor Company Of Japan ensuring the best sound quality possible. 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 was all of the Beatles' singles that did not appear on their original UK albums.
The booklet does have some yellowing on the top of the front page.

The box is very good +, with only minor signs of handling. The inner sleeves are near-mint.
