BEATLES "THE BEATLES BOX.... FROM LIVERPOOL"
The Beatles Box....From Liverpool
An 8 album 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 actual figures are unknown.
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.
The Box itself is well designed looking like a wooden crate, with plenty of information.
World Records were given some different mixes of some of the tracks, that were unavailable anywhere else at the time, and therefore made this box an essential purchase.
Offered in truly stunning condition this example contains all eight original albums in absolute mint and unplayed condition. All the albums are housed in their original sleeves and these too are in mint condition.
The outer box is a strong near mint, my only critical points are a small indentation to the front which is visible when the box is angled (this is minor) and some very light and again minor "rubbing" to the bottom edge, this will have been caused through storage.The box otherwise displays no other signs of age or handling and is like new.
This stunning set has clearly been well looked after over the years and i doubt that the albums have actually been removed from the outer box more than a few times.
