This is a limited edition, #10,715 of 25,000. The box, art book and albums are in good condition, though we have not played the records. There is slight wear on the box, the lock and the spines of the record sleeves. Wikipedia describes this set in greater detail:

The Beatles: The Collection was a vinyl box 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 rechanneled stereo.[1] Each album was pressed on virgin 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.Released with much anticipation in early October 1982, The Collection was lauded by critics and fans worldwide for the superb sound, and sold-out completely within the first year. MFSL repressed 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 fetches up to $1,000.00 for a mint condition set on online auctions.Dr. Ebbetts, a well known name in Beatles fan circles, has created remasters of this set (and even more recently 1978's The Beatles Collection) through needle drop transfers, which are available through various torrent download sites. Many fans feel these are still the ideal versions of The Beatles catalogue as far as sound quality, even outdoing the 2009 official remasters, though Dr. Ebbetts himself has judged the 2009 remasters as superior.
