163

This is a 1980s ISSUE BOX SET OF FOURTEEN VINYL 45 RPM EPs (14 SINGLE EPs, ONE DOUBLE EP - 15 RECORDS) BY THE BEATLES, ORIGINALLY ISSUED BETWEEN 1963 AND 1967.  All of the EPs come packaged inside the box in their original thin cardboard covers as shown in my accompanying image; the 'Magical Mystery Tour' double EP comes packaged in its original gatefold cover with the original picture book bound inside the gatefold cover.  Track listings for all of the included EPs are available on the Discogs site.  Visual condition of all fifteen records is a SOLID NM with no visible surface marks; I do not believe any of the records have ever been played.   Condition of all of the EP covers is generally VG+ with varying minor flaws including a few slight wrinkles, a few light brown mildew spots (slightly more on a few of the white areas of the inside of the 'Magical Mystery Tour' EP gatefold cover), and some wear along the edges.  There are some condition issues with the outer box which has necessitated a VG- grading for the outer box, and which is the reason for the modest opening bid price of $100.00 for this rare and long deleted item - As can be seen in my accompanying image, the main flaw with the outer box is that the outer layer of paper at the hinge which attaches the flip-back top cover to the lower part of the box has worn through and become detached; however, the good news is that the inner hinge which attaches the flip-back top cover to the bottom of the box is intact and still holds the flip-back top cover in place.   I have also done a bit of repair work to the top right corner of the flip-back top cover which was torn - I have repaired this torn corner in as unobtrusive a way as possible by taping from the inside and with a very small piece of tape on the outside.  Box also has some other flaws including some brown mildew spots on the white areas of the inside of the box, some worn areas on the outside of the box, and some general contact wear and wear along the edges and on the corners.   As mentioned I have priced this box set modestly to reflect the condition issues with the outer box - Records are in nice shape, and this rare box set would be a choice addition to any Beatles record collection!  Winning bidder pays $4.00 media mail postage or actual priority mail postage within the U.S.  Registered with signature delivery first class international airmail postage to Canada is $41.70; $52.90 to all other areas outside of the U.S.  WINNING BIDDER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE! I will give an immediate refund (less shipping) upon return of the box set if winning bidder is dissatisfied for any reason. Good luck!
