The Beatles Box (From Liverpool) 8 Vinyl LPs With RARE MIXES and RECORDINGS.
THE BEATLES BOX - From Liverpool
Records and individual sleeves are all lovely condition (VG+-NM)/ Box has some wear but is complete.
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 Each cover featured a previously unpublished colour photo of the Beatles on the front and extensive liner notes detailing their career during the period represented by the album's songs on the back.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" stencilled in black ink across the top, along with a small snapshot of the Beatles pasted across the front of the crate.
Mastered by Harry T Moss.
