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 of interest to collectors as the set included some rare variants/mixes of songs, some 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 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 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
- 'Strawberry Fields Forever' - true stereo version
- 'Thank You Girl' - original UK 45 mono version, without John's extra harmonica fills
