THE BEATLES
WORLD RECORDS 'THE BEATLES BOX' '
RARE 8 LP SET
"The Beatles Box" - Catalogue no. SM 701/8
An 8 album boxed set issued by E.M.I. through its "World Records" subsidiary.
Unlike the Beatles Collection released two years earlier, this set is actually new albums in new sleeves. The set was advertised vigorously 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.
The Box itself is well designed looking like a wooden crate, with plenty of information.
Incredibly, 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 ... and anyway, it's a nice looking, excellent set !
See below for all track listings and covers

If you are a vinyl collector please add me to your saved sellers list
In the coming weeks I will be listing most of my collection. I worked in the record business from 1963 to 1986 and over that period amassed a large collection, Most of which were only played once to put on tape using a Garrard 301 turntable and SME tone arm and are therefore all in Pristine condition.
