Description

The box shows a small amount of wear but is still in very good condition; records are excellent and look unplayed. This is a first pressing Australian copy.

THE BEATLES FROM LIVERPOOL BOX

This eight-album package was compiled and sold by World Records, EMI's mail order division in 1980. It was never commercially released The set consisted of 124 Beatles tracks arranged chronologically from Love Me Do, the group's first Parlophone single, to Her Majesty, the final cut on Abbey Road.
All albums were issued on the EMI/Parlophone label. The eight individual LPs are untitled. Each cover featured a previously unpublished colour photo of the Beatles on the front and extensive liner notes detailing their career during the period represented by the album's songs on the back. A very nice set ,with good sound quality. I have also added the two sided flyer and flexi disc sent out to encourage people to purchase the box set.
