THE BEATLES - 'THE BEATLES BOX'

This 8 x LP compilation of Beatles recordings was initially issued in 1980 by World Records, a mail-order subsidiary of EMI

The songs are arranged chronologically over the eight discs and each is housed within individually designed cover with a biography of the period by Hugh Marshall on the rear

The set was an immediate interest to collectors as the set included some rare variants/mixes of songs, the most significant of which are listed below:

  • 'All My Loving' - begins with five tap 'count-in' by Ringo's on his "hi-hat" cymbal
  • 'All You Need Is Love' - mono version
  • 'And I Love Her' - with six bars of acoustic guitar in the final section, instead of the usual four
  • 'Baby You're A Rich Man' - true stereo version, previously found just on the German 'Magical Mystery Tour' LP
  • 'I'm Only Sleeping' - rare version with the slightly delayed guitar solo, previously found just on the U.S. stereo eight-track tape edition of "Yesterday" And Today'
  • 'I Am The Walrus' - a composite version put together by Capitol Records engineers John Palladino & George Irwin for the U.S. commercial 'Rarities' LP
  • 'I Feel Fine' - true stereo version with the 'whispering' intro, previously only available on the UK issue of '1962-1966'
  • 'Love Me Do' - original UK single version with Ringo on drums
  • 'Penny Lane' - a composite version from the U.S. commercial 'Rarities' LP
  • 'She's A Woman' - true stereo version previously available just in Australia and in Singapore/Malaysia/Hong Kong
  • 'Strawberry Fields Forever' - true stereo version
  • 'Thank You Girl' - original UK 45 mono version without John's extra harmonica fills



    • This JAPANESE pressed set dates from January 1981 and each disc bears a black & silver Odeon label: EW 5341-8

    The discs are housed within a hinged box designed to look like a wooden crate

    Complete with information & lyric booklets
