The Beatles From the Vault Box set #85 of 300
Brand NEW never opened and still sealed in the original shrinkwrap!!!
Here is the very VERY rare "Grey Box" set The Beatles From the Vault. Only 300 box sets were ever made and this is number 85. As you can see from the pictures the outer box is open but all of the contents are still sealed in the original shrinkwrap. All EIGHT records are new, unopened, untouched and perfect. This is colored vinyl by the way. Here's the intro from the Grey Box 18 page booklet"
"From the Vault has been compiled in such a way as to compliment the blue Beatles Collection box set. This set, taken together with the Blue Box, will give a more accurate picture of the Beatles' recorded work from 1962-1970. In this set you'll find audition tapes, studio recordings from the BBC, songs recorded for release but not used, a collection of Christmas messages, and other tracks of historical interest. Also included is Get Back, an album that was released to radio stations in March of 1969, but recalled before its commercial release."
Everything from the original box set is here including the t-shirt (still new in unopened shrinkwrap) which is grey with the box set title in red writing. The booklet says the t-shirt size is XL but that it fits like a medium. I've never seen one out of the sealed package so I don't know.
The EIGHT records are: 1.) File Under Volume 1 2.) File under Volume 2 3.) The Decca tapes 4.) Broadcasts 5.) From us to you 6.) Christmas Album 7.) Abbey Road NW8 8.) Get Back (half speed from the master tape)
ALL COLORED VINYL ALL RECORDS ARE NEW AND SEALED

Add info:
There is very little info available on this box set. I've owned it since about 1990 and I think they were originally sold in the early 80's but that's just a guess. The little booklet in the set doesn't say when the set was made. It must have come just after the Blue Box set which was early 80's I believe.
Most of the material is from other sources and compiled. A good example is the Christmas album. Here they have collected all of the Beatles christmas tracks over the years and put them on one album. These were the Christmas messages the Beatles used to send out to their UK fan club members on 'flexy disks' (very thin vinyl records).
Here's an excerpt from pages 12-13 of the booklet: "Get Back was originally conceived as a return to roots album. For this project, the Beatles would once again record their songs live, like in the early days, sacrificing perfection that over-dubbing offered, but gaining spontaneity and feeling. Two different versions of the album were assembled before the project was shelved. This is the first version of Get Back LP, as produced by George Martin. Released to 200 US radio stations in March 1969, it was recalled by Apple after 3 weeks. This is NOT a copy from a tape of one of those LPs. This record has been mastered from the original stereo source tape."
