Description

For your bidding pleasure, a very beautiful, very perfect example of the very rare 12" vinyl box set from The Beatles titled "The Beatles Collection". Also known as the "BC-13" box set, or "Blue Box Set", it was issued in 1978 and distributed only to record company executives, important vendors, and in some cases, friends and relatives. I've been told that they were never available for sale to the general public but I suspect that quite a few of them were, just a hunch. The first 3000-3300 sets were sequentially numbered. In later years, the box set was reissued for public sale in a brighter shade of blue and without the serial numbers. To my knowledge, all of the 13 LP's inside are also factory sealed with an "imported" sticked adhered to the front (I've had quite a few of these and they all have this in common). And, there is also a bonus LP inside, not sealed in a paper cover, titled "Rarities" which was only available in this box set and contains the German versions of "She Loves You" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" but listed on the label in English titles? Could be they were issued in the reissued sets in the correct German titles I think.

This box set is a numbered, first pressing, #3221, and is still FACTORY SEALED! It has zero defects or issues and comes complete with both original stickers on front and back. Other than a lower number, it can't get any better than this!

(Speaking of lower numbers, I also have another 1st pressing BC-13 box set up for auction currently with an extremely LOW number. Although not sealed, the set contains all factory sealed LP's as I previously described.)
