ABOUT THE ALBUMS: Released for just a few years, beginning in 1982, "The Beatles: The Collection" is a limited edition boxed set of the group's 14 original disc releases, which were first issued in England on the Parlophone and Apple labels from EMI Records. Created by Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs (MFSL), these recordings were exclusively transferred directly from The Beatles original recording studio master tapes to master lacquer discs. The discs were then refrigerated and flown from MFSL to Yokohama, Japan, for plating and pressing at the Victor Company. Here, they received the meticulous attention to precision and purity to produce these superior grade albums. The enduring value of these boxed sets is due to MFSL's legendary quality control standards, exclusive half-speed mastering system, and use of the world's highest quality vinyl, which ensured that every note, every nuance was immaculately preserved --- and that each album will many times longer than any conventionally produced LP. The following titles are included:
  1. Please Please Me - MFSL 1-101
  2. With the Beatles - MFSL 1-102
  3. A Hard Day's Night - MFSL 1-103
  4. Beatles for Sale - MFSL 1-104
  5. Help! - MFSL 1-105
  6. Rubber Soul - MFSL 1-106
  7. Revolver - MFSL 1-107
  8. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - MFSL 1-100
  9. The Beatles - MFSL 2-072 (Sides A/B)
  10. The Beatles - MFSL 2-072 (Sides C/D)
  11. Yellow Submarine - MFSL 1-108
  12. Abbey Road MFSL 1-023
  13. Magical Mystery Tour MFSL 1-047
  14. Let It Be MFSL 1-109

ABOUT THE COVERS: The albums are protected within a 3-part system -- a cover, a folded insert-board, and a sleeve.
  1. Covers: At a glance, the covers look identical, but look closely and you will see that each cover is unique, because each cover features a reproduction of the actual log sheet used by the producers and engineers who worked the respective master tapes for that particular album. (The cover for "Please, Please Me," is shown in photos 3, 4, and 5). The log sheets, themselves, are fascinating, as they document the exceedingly small number of people who'd had contact with these tapes since the 1960s.
  2. Insert-boards: Inside the covers are folded insert boards simply printed with the words, "Original Master Recordings," and "The Beatles" and "The Collection."
  3. Sleeves: Within the insert boards are the semi-transparent sleeves, described by MFSL as, anti-abrasive, anti-static "rice paper" sleeves.
