THIS 1976 BOX SET IS KNOWN AS THE BEATLES COLLECTION.

IN 1976 , EMI’s mail order subsidiary, World Records, re-released THE Box Set entitled The Beatles Collection - The Beatles Singles 1962-1970, now consisting of 25 x 7” singles, from “Love Me Do” to “sgt. pepper’s lonely hearts club band”. The Set was available by mail order only, and not through the usual retail outlets.

These Later editions of the Collection also included an additional one-sided sheet stating that the Set now included a 25th record: “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band / With A Little Help From My Friends / A Day In The Life,” (which also came in a Picture Sleeve).

24 of the 25 singles were presented in green Picture Sleeves, with a picture of the Beatles on the other side. only “sgt pepper’s” was housed in a colourful picture sleeve. they were all housed in a special gold embossed black box.

This auction is for the complete boxed set containing all 25 x 45s from The Beatles Collection, plus the fold-out  Informational Booklet AND the “now includes” one-sided sheet leaflet.   

The FOLD-OUT Informational Booklet is in NEAR MINt condition.

The TEXTURED BLACK BOX WITH HINGED LID AND EMBOSSED GOLD TITLES AND DECORATION IS in EXCELLENT condition. IN ONE CORNER OF THE LID THERE IS A SMALL PIECE OF CLEAR TAPE WHICH IS PRESUMABLY HOLDING DOWN A SMALL TEAR OR SPLIT. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THIS PIECE OF TAPE. I CANNOT SEE ANY DAMAGE.

The TWENTY-FOUR GREEN SLEEVE AND THE PICTURE SLEEVE ARE ALL in NEAR MINt condition with just the odd tiny sign of careful handling.

AS ALWAYS, I HAVE REMOVED THE VINYLS FROM THEIR SLEEVES AND PLACED THEM INTO BRAND NEW WHITE PAPER SLEEVES TO PROTECT THE SLEEVES IN TRANSIT.
