The Beatles Collection

The Beatles

BC13 EMI (US Release)

Number "1901" in Gold Letters (out of 3000) 

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles_Collection

The Beatles Collection is a box set of vinyl albums released in the United States in November 1978 and the following month in the United Kingdom containing the official catalogue of The Beatles in stereo, and a new compilation called Rarities. The American issue by Capitol Records contained the British pressings of the same twelve original Beatles albums, with an American pressing ofRarities. The American pressing of Rarities differed from its British counterpart in that it included the previously released English-language versions of "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand," rather than the German-language version found on the British pressing.[2] The American edition of the boxed set was a limited edition of only 3,000 numbered copies.[3] The limited availability of the American release resulted in the British release becoming popular as an import into the US.[4]

Along with the LPs listed below with their sleeves, the collection also include the inserts contained in the individual albums including the cardboard cutout sheet in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the photos and poster in The Beatles.[5]

I bought this Box Set at King Karol Record Store on 42nd Street in NYC when it was released in 1978. I have owned it all of these years. To my knowledge, this is the US release by Capitol Records. 

*Note: Make your best offer - all offers will be considered. I have tried unsuccessfully to obtain the current market value of this Box Set. The other similar Box Sets on ebay appear to have a different box and a different Rarities sleeve.
