Description
The Beatles: The Collection was a vinyl box set of every Beatles album premastered 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 rechanneled stereo
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.[2] Today, The Collection can fetch more than $7,000 for a mint condition set in online auctions. [citation required]
Each album was pressed on black vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan ensuring superior sound quality. 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.
