Description
I am The Original Owner Bought it New at Tower Records in San Diego. The Set Has Been Played 2 Times. 1 Time in 82 to Record it to Cassette and Years Later Burned a Set of CDs. The Geo Disc has Been used 1 Time to Set up my TurnTable. The Beatles: The Collection is a vinyl boxed set of every Beatles album remastered at half speed from the original stereo master recordings, except for Magical Mystery Tour which was mastered from Capitol Records' submasters with the last three tracks in rechanneled stereo.
Released with much anticipation in early October 1982, The Collection was lauded by critics and Beatles fans worldwide for the superb sound, and sold-out completely within the first year. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL) pressed a second run of the Beatles Boxed Set for a total production run of 25,000 over the next two years or until October 1985.[2]
Each album was pressed on black vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan. The album covers were replaced with photographs of tape boxes and log sheet. The original album covers were included in a booklet which also featured a certificate of authenticity as this was a limited edition collection. Missing from this collection were all of the Beatles' singles, extended play and a few miscellaneous tracks that did not appear on their original UK albums.
