THE ORIGINAL BEATLES

~ SPECIAL COLLECTION ~

(1982 STAR BOX RECORDS - STUNNING 3-LP BOXSET)

I HAVE RECENTLY ACQUIRED A LARGE COLLECTION OF BOX SETS COVERING ALL SORTS OF GENRES. THEY ARE ALL HIGHLY DESIRABLE AND COLLECTABLE TEMS BUT ARE CURRENTLY TAKING UP LOADS OF SPACE. I NEED TO CLEAR THEM ASAP. I HAVE DECIDED TO OFFER THEM FOR SALE VIA "BUY IT NOW" AT KNOCK DOWN PRICES FOR A QUICK SALE. I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO FULLY PLAY GRADE THESE RARITIES. INSTEAD I HAVE GIVEN AN HONEST VISUAL ASSESSMENT AND I HAVE PLAYED THE START OF SIDE ONE.

ON OFFER HERE IS THIS STUNNING ORIGINAL PRESSING OF THE SUPERB BOXED SET “SPECIAL COLLECTION” BY THE BEATLES.

THIS 3-LP SET IS HOUSED IN IT'S ORIGINAL BOX.

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS STAR BOX 3910 (RECORD 1 - ALL ROUND TRADING AR30003, RECORDS 2&3 - HISTORIC HIS 10982) 

THE BOX

THE BOX, WITH LIFT-OFF LID, IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE IS JUST SOME MINOR DISCOLOURATION TO SMALL AREAS ON THE BACK OF THE BOX. THERE ARE NO TEARS OR SPLITS..

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE 6 SIDES OF HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL ALL APPEAR TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND EVEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY HAIRLINES. THESE RECORDS ALL LOOK IN TRULY ARCHIVE CONDITION. I HAVE ONLY LISTENED TO PART OF SIDE ONE AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY WAS SUPERB. THE VINYL MAY BENEFIT FROM A PROFESSIONAL CLEAN. 

THE LABELS

THE LABELS ARE ALL IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND I CANNOT SEE ANY MARKS.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M) THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS THE LYRIC SHEET, BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.

EXCELLENT (EX) THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.

VERY GOOD (VG) THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.

GOOD (G) THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.

THE USE OF PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-) ALLOWS FOR ITEMS THAT FALL BETWEEN THE ABOVE GRADES.
