Superstars of the 70's, 4 LP Box Set, Warner Special Products (1973)

$

35

Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

• The 47 tracks in this 4 LP Box Set were all big hits.
• This is at least one of the first 5 releases by the then newly-formed Warner Special Products (WSP).
• It actually could be the first since they used the office address (4000) for the selection number.
• This 4 LP Box set was a huge hit as a TV package. I don't think it was ever available at retail.
• This has been out-of-print for more than 40 years.
• The 4 records have never been played.
• The paper on hard board box shows little cover wear but one of the corners of the lid is split.
• An insert with the track listings is included.
• The Seller got this new from WSP shortly after release in 1973. It has been in storage for 43 years.
