This is a vinyl boxed set of every Beatles studio album released during the group's lifetime remastered at half speed from the original stereo master recordings, except for Magical Mystery Tour which was mastered from Capitol Records' submasters with the last three tracks in rechanneled stereo.

Released with much anticipation in early October 1982, The Collection was lauded by critics and Beatles fans worldwide for the superb sound, and sold-out completely within the first year. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL) pressed a second run of the Beatles Boxed Set for a total production run of 25,000 over the next two years or until October 1985. (this copy, which is numbered 2295,  obviously must have been a part of the first press run)

Each album is pressed on black vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan. The album covers have been replaced with photographs of tape boxes and log sheet. The original album covers are included in a booklet which also features a certificate of authenticity as this is a limited edition collection. Missing from this collection are some of the Beatles' non-album tracks and singles, extended play tracks and a few miscellaneous tracks that did not appear on their original UK albums.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG NEAR MINT (APPEARS UNPLAYED, POSSIBLY PLAYED ONCE OR TWICE, NO SPINDLE HOLE VISIBLE ANYWHERE). The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The records are  pressed on a RELATIVELY  thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type),  vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.

(c)           The record come in  their hi-grade MFSL PVC inner sleeve, which has - apparently with success - shielded the record from the harmful impact of elements over many years!

(d)          The records ALSO come in  their custom paperboard MFSL inner sleeves, unique to the Beatles MFSL Collection.

(e)           The box set comes with its original illustrated color artwork booklet, which also features signed and numbered certificate of authenticity.

(f)            The box set also comes with the original plastic Geodisc calibration device (housed in its own cardboard box, intact and complete)

(g)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
