The Beatles-The Collection-14 LP MFSL Box Set~Original Master Recordings-#3334! This listing is for the 14 record box set from The Beatles, titled, The Collection. It was released in 1982. (MFSL/EMI Records MFSL1-101~Made in Japan). The vinyl is very clean and shiny and grades Near Mint, with no scratches or marks on all 14 records. The records look brand new and unplayed. I don't like to play test records that look unplayed, so I play tested just 2 of them and they played great throughout. The covers and inserts for the records also grade Near Mint, with no flaws. The box is solidly together and grades VG++, with a bit of light wear. Also included is the extensive 40 page booklet which has lots of information and pictures. Please note the inside pages of the booklet are in very nice shape, with some minor 1/8th inch creases near 1 corner on some of the pages, but the booklet grades VG to VG+, with a few flaws. The lower staple has let go of the pages and the upper staple is lightly holding onto the pages. Also, the back of the booklet has some dirty spots and a 1 inch rip on the bottom. The certificate of authenticity is on page 2 of the booklet and it shows this set is numbered 3334. This is a low number as there were 25,000 made in this limited edition pressing. The set was issued with a generic basic geo-disc which was for alignment purposes. It's been lost so it is not included with this set.

• SONGS: The records are 14 of their best albums, with all their classic hits: Please Please Me, With The Beatles, A Hard Day's Night, Beatles For Sale, Help, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles White Album(2 LPs), Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, Magical Mystery Tour and Let It Be. That's the records, good luck bidding!
• CONDITION: Records: NEAR MINT ::: Jackets: NEAR MINT ::: Box: VG++ ::: Booklet: VG to VG+ ::
• Please note that all of my records are original U.S. first pressings; unless noted differently; where I write the record label and label number at the beginning of the description. For grading I use a bright light to inspect each record for any possible scratches or marks. I also play grade all or parts of every record I sell.
• For U.S. buyers; the shipping is free. I'll ship with signature delivery confirmation and insurance. New York State buyers must add 8% sales tax to their winning bid price.
• Please note that this auction is only being offered to U.S. buyers only due to the weight. All of my other Beatle auctions include all buyers. For packing I use a professionally made vinyl record box and 2 extra cardboard filler pads that surround the record for added protection.
• Here's the grading scale that I use.
• RECORD GRADING
• SEALED: Still brand new and factory sealed
• MINT: The record will not be sealed, but it will be perfect and still look brand new and unplayed.
• NEAR MINT: The record will be very clean and shiny, with no scratches or marks andit will play great.
• VG++: The record will very clean and shiny, with just a couple of very light scratches or very light marks, that will not affect the play. The record will play very well.
• VG+: The record will be shiny with some light scratches. The record will play well, with either no background noise; or with just a bit of light background noise. Usually the light background noise would be on quieter parts or at the start or end of a song
• VG: The record will probably have lost some shine and it will have some scratches or scuffs. The record will play with some background noise on parts, but it won't skip and will be enjoyable
• G+: The record will have more scratches and marks than VG and will play with more background noise. It won't skip but will play with noticeable background noise on parts
• G or Fair: The record will play worse than G+, but also should not skip. I don't sell many records graded G+, G or fair. I usually only list G+, G or fair graded vinyl when it's a very rare record
• JACKET GRADING
• SEALED: Still factory sealed
• NEAR MINT: The jacket will have no flaws. It will have no corner wear, no cover wear/ring wear, no writing, no seam splits and no cut outs, drill holes or cut corners. The jacket might or might not be in shrinkwrap.
• VG++: The jacket will be just a notch under near mint with 1 or 2 very minor flaws. Perhaps a bit of corner wear or just a bit of very light cover wear or very light ring wear.
• VG+: The jacket will be in nice shape, with some corner wear and maybe some light cover wear or light ringwear.
• VG: The jacket will have more noticeable flaws with heavier cover wear or ring wear, plus maybe a small seam split in the 3 or 4 inch range and maybe a name written in small letters near a corner.
• G+: The jacket will have even more flaws with maybe a crease, some surface scrapes, more writing and larger seam splits; with heavier cover wear
• G: Even worse than G+ but still useable
• fair: Many flaws and only used for very rare records or if the actual vinyl grade is VG+ or better
• Please check my feedback and bid with confidence!
• Thanx a lot for your time and interest!
