Description

This is an exceptionally rare Beatles collection released in 1984 as promotion for Capitol Data Systems, and was a gift to a few lucky Capitol employees.
This example contains 16 albums (The Beatles (White Album) is a double album, hence this is the 17 Lp edition.
Information about this collection is sparse, it is unknown how many were produced -some speculations are as low as 85.
I can only find 2 examples having been sold on ebay in the last 10 years.
This website has some information:

The albums included are as follows:
Meet The Beatles The Beatles Second Album Something New Beatles 65   (sealed) The Early Beatles Beatles IV   (sealed) Help   (no cellophane) Rubber Soul   (sealed) Revolver   (cellophane seal torn) Yesterday & Today Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band   (no cellophane) Magical Mystery Tour   (no cellophane) The Beatles   (no cellophane) Yellow Submarine   (no cellophane) Hey Jude Abbey Road   (sealed)

note: intact opened cellophane wrappers, unless stated.

These are all purple or black label Capitol pressing.
I have had the records graded and all are Mint or Mint/Near Mint.
The box has shelf damage, but apart from that is intact and in good condition (please see pictures).
I will cover international postage free of charge and include the relevant insurance.
If you have any questions, please fell free to ask.
