Here is something most of us overlooked back in the day.. This is the World Records- Beatles Box - "From Liverpool" - this is the UK version on Parlophone, 8 LPs.
Who knew back then this contained several alternate mixes of Beatles classics! See below for a snippet I pasted with the differences. The box is VG+ condition and still intact. The records, LP 1 & 2 are VG- showing some wear. I posted pics of these two. The rest are a VG/VG+. Still a great set!!
"The Beatles Box (UK)" was the mail order box set released on 3rd. November 1980 by World Records, a mail-order subsidiary of EMI.
It mostly contained the Beatles "greatest hits" spread out over 8 albums, but also contained some rarities.
Track Differences:
- Across The Universe - (Version 2) produced by Phil Spector. All My Loving - begins with five taps on Ringo's "hi-hat" cymbal.
- All You Need Is Love - the mono version.
- And I Love Her - contains six bars of acoustic guitar in the fadeout instead of the usual four.
- Baby You're A Rich Man - the true stereo version, previously found just on the German Magical Mystery Tour LP.
- The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill - appears as it does on The Beatles ("white album"), minus the opening guitar obbligato.
- The End/Her Majesty - the pause between the two songs lasts for only five seconds. On Abbey Road, the time between tracks is fifteen seconds.
- Get Back - the album version, produced by Phil Spector.
- I'm Only Sleeping - the extremely rare version with the slightly delayed guitar solo, previously found just on the U.S. stereo eight-track tape edition of "Yesterday" And Today.
- I Am The Walrus - the composite version put together by Capitol Records engineers John Palladino and George Irwin for the U.S. commercial Rarities.
- I Feel Fine - the true stereo version that begins with tapping drum sticks, whispering, coughing and Ringo closing his "hi-hat" cymbal.
- Let It Be (Version 2) "reproduced for disc" by Phil Spector.
- Love Me Do - (Version 1) the rare one with Ringo on drums.
- Penny Lane - the composite version from the U.S. commercial Rarities.
- She's A Woman - the true stereo version previously available just in Australia and in Singapore/Malaysia/Hong Kong.
- Strawberry Fields Forever - the true stereo version.
