Description
You are looking at "The Beatles, The Collection" Original Master Recordings from 1982-83.
This amazing vinyl collection, "The Beatles - The Collection" was played only one time, on a high-quality Pioneer turntable (diamond needle) upon college graduation from Princeton in 1983, then immediately placed back into their respective sleeves and stored away for 35 years (away from sunlight, heat and moisture). They have recently been brought back out to sell. The records have all been inspected (with vinyl gloved hands) and are in mint to near perfect condition (being that they were each played once, they cannot be listed as "in perfect condition"). The box is in very good to excellent condition (please look at photos - I have tried to display all the minor imperfections in approx. 4 locations). The photo of the bottom of the box shows the most imperfections (of course) , as to be expected. The internal booklet and other misc. papers are in excellent to mint condition.
I am pricing this very fairly, keeping its overall condition in mind and what other sellers seem to be pricing these for in the vintage Beatles vinyl market. In perfect, unopened condition, these are selling for approximately $1200-$1300.
NOTE: A signature will be required upon delivery. Will be insured, packed impeccably well and with great care to ensure it arrives damage-free.

Below are details of this collection directly from Wikipedia
The Beatles: The Collection was 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.
Release
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.
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.
