Description
I am selling my complete collection of The Beatles and Beatles-related records, albums, and novelties.
This lot is for the rare complete double box sets of 8 LP records (4 LP's in each box set). These are:
"THE BEATLES - ALPHA OMEGA" Vol.1 released in 1972 (60 song tracks) and
"THE BEATLES - ALPHA OMEGA" Vol.2 also released in 1972 (60 song tracks).
Volume 1 is found on sale more often, whereas Volume 2 is rarely seen for sale.
The boxed covers are in very good shape (no splits). There appears to have more wear on the front cover of Vol.1; whereas the cover of Vol. 2 appears in excellent condition. All 8 vinyl records appear to be in excellent condition.
Background history of these sets: In January 1973, two pirated Beatles box sets appeared in the United States, Alpha Omega Volumes I & II: The Story Of The Beatles (Audio Tape Inc. ATRBH 3583). These four-LP collections were advertised on TV and radio stations in the Midwest and were sold by mail order. Instead of taking legal action, Capitol Records countered by putting out two official Beatles anthologies, The Beatles 1962-1966 (US: Apple SKBO 3403) and The Beatles 1967-1970 (US: Apple SKBO 3404). However, in March, a $15 million lawsuit was filed by manager Allen Klein on behalf of George Harrison, along with Capitol and Apple Records, against the manufacturers and distributors of the bootleg package, and against American Broadcasting Companies, Inc., who had been advertising it.
