THE BEATLES BOX (December 1980 - World Records SM701/8)
This eight-album package was compiled and sold by World Records, EMI's mail order division. It was never commercially released in the United Kingdom. The set consisted of 124 Beatles tracks arranged chronologically from Love Me Do, the group's first Parlophone single, to Her Majesty, the final cut on Abbey Road.
All albums were issued on the EMI/Parlophone label. The eight individual LPs were untitled. Each cover featured a previously unpublished color photo of the Beatles on the front and extensive liner notes detailing their career during the period represented by the album's songs on the back. The box was designed to look like a wooden shipping crate, carrying the words "From Liverpool" stenciled in black ink across the top, along with a small snapshot of the Beatles pasted across the front of the crate.
The item was bought from a work colleague who's ex-husband bought them from new. According to her they have never been played as she was never really that interested in the Beatles (I have a Beach Boys one with the same story). I bought them as a friend of mine said he wanted them but then never actually paid me for them. I haven't played them and cannot verify if they ever have been played or not (I only have her word to go on). I'm by no means a specialist in ths field. So please make up your own minds. The exterior box has some storage wear but nothing terrible. The interor sleeves are fine and the records themselves are immaculate. Feel free to ask questions but again I'm no expert so may not be much help. I will post them 1st class standard mail and will packge them well. However, I do offer an alternative postage option and would recommend that you go with it due to the nature of the product let alone how rare it is. The above description is taken from a website so again make up your own mind as to how correct it is. They are advertised elsewhere so may be withdrawn from ebay.
