THIS BOX SET IS FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF IT. AT THE TIME I BOUGHT IT I ONLY DID BECAUSE MY FRIENDS BOUGHT A SET AND I DIDN'T WANT TO BE LEFT OUT. BUT THE BEATLES WASN'T MY FAVOURITE GROUP SO I ONLY PLAYED THE RECORD ONCE. I COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO LOOK THROUGH THE PICTURE BOOK BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALLY LIKE THE BEATLES, SAD, THAT IT MIGHT SEEM. BUT IN THOSE DAYS YOU TRIED TO KEEP UP WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND BE PART OF THE "GANG" AND SO YOU TENDED TO FOLLOW THEM IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY WERE BUYING WITH THEIR POCKET MONEY. THAT IS HOW IT WAS, IN THOSE DAYS.
I KEPT THIS RECORD AS WITH ALL MY OTHER RECORDS STANDING UPRIGHT.
WHEN STORED SO THERE WON'T BE "RING" INDENTATIONS ON INNER SLEEVES ETC AS THE PHOTO SHOWS - FLAWLESS!
THE OUTER BOX IS NEAR MINT
THE INNER TRAY IS EXCELLENT IT EVEN HAS THE CARDBOARD LITTLE BITS THAT TEND TO HANG ON AFTER THE CARDBOARD HAS BEEN ORIGINALLY CUT (LEFT-HAND SIDE OF PHOTO NO 8 REFERS)
THE BOOK HOLDING TRAY IS EXCELLENT, NO TEARS ETC
THE BOOK IS NEAR MINT, IT LAYS PERFECTLY FLAT, THE WORDING ON THE SPINE IS CLEAR AND THERE IS NO CREASING.THE BOOK HAS NEVER BEEN FULLY OPEN THEREFORE THERE ARE NO CREASE LINES DOWN THE SPINE OF THE BOOK.
THE POSTER
HAVE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE PHOTO, FLAWLESS, NOT A SINGLE MARK. NEVER BEEN UNFOLDED JUST SIMPLY TURNED OVER, AFTERALL IT WASN'T THE SORT OF THING TO HANG UP ANYWHERE, HA,HA,HA. BELOW IS HOW A DEALER DESCRIBES THE POSTER, AND I QUOTE:
(THE POSTER WAS NEVER AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS SET AND WHICH WAS ONLY EVER INCLUDED AT THE WHIM OF THE RETAILER THAT IS WHY IT IS EXTREMELY RARE TO FIND A BOX SET WITH IT )
THE LABELS ARE EXCELLENT
THE VINYL IS EXCELLENT, CLEAN, SHINY AND PLAYS PERFECTLY
THE RED APPLE SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT THE FRONT AND BACK IS BRIGHT AND CLEAN
TO BE PERFECTLY FRANK, I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU COULD GO TO FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE OF THIS BOX SET!
INTERESTING TO NOTE
THE BOX SET WAS PRODUCED IN 1970 AND SO IN 2020 WILL BE THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY AND THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF ACTIVITY IN TERMS OF BUYING AND SELLING OF THESE SETS.
