The Beatles Box Set Roll Top Bread Bin CD album collection RARE 1988 EXCELLENT

  

This item is The Beatles Box Set roll top bread bin CD collection of The Beatles' albums (15 albums, 16 CDS). I believe that it was released in 1988 and that it is limited edition (rare). The CDs themselves are in like new condition, as are the CD booklets -- most of the CDs are unplayed.

The CD cases are in excellent condition -- most of them are like new. There are some very light scratches on a couple of the CD CASES (no cracks) mostly on'The Beatles' (the white album) case -- see pictures. The white bits of the'The Beatles' (white album) album casing are slightly yellowed due to aging -- see pictures. There is some damage to the'teeth' of the CD holders in the cases of the'The Beatles' (white album) and'Let It Be' -- see pictures. These could easily be replaced. The storage box, which is apparently make of oak, is in excellent condition -- please see pictures.

The roll top mechanism works perfectly. There is some white gloss paint on the BASE of the box (see pictures) from when it was sitting on a glossed shelf, which it kind of stuck to as it's heavy -- the paint could perhaps be removed with paint remover. The included booklet includes details all of the songs and it has a handy A-Z song index which lists all of the songs and what album they are on. The pages are intact and the spine is not creased but the pages are warped and slightly yellowed due to aging (see pictures). Here's some further information about the box set from Wikipedia, which may or may not be true -- please do your own research on the background of the item.

Is a sixteen-disc box set compiling the entire recorded works of. As issued by the band between 1962 and 1970. It was released on 15 November 1988 in Britain and America, with the same catalogue number (Apple BBX2-91302) in each of those countries. While available also in vinyl.

And cassette formats, the box set was the first complete collection of original Beatles material to be released by. Included all of the original UK album releases by the band, together with the 1967 US album. The latter had been issued in the UK in November 1976, at which point the LP version superseded the original British EP of the same name. The box also contained the 1988 compilations. Past Masters: Volume Two, which grouped together singles, B-sides, EP tracks, and foreign releases not found on the band's UK studio albums.

Although all these albums had been previously available in stereo on both LP and cassette, the versions of the first four albums included in. Were the digitally remastered mono mixes issued on CD over 1987-88. Which caused a considerable furor among Beatles fans and audiophiles. The collection was encased in a black oak roll-top box and included a soft-cover book with commentary on the songs by Beatles recording historian. The set was also issued in a black vinyl covered cardboard box in.

Failed to chart in either the UK or the US, it was certified platinum by the. Recording Industry Association of America.

Containing remastered versions of the Beatles' core albums and. Past Masters, was released on 9 September 2009 along with. And new stereo reissues of the individual albums, including the first four albums given their stereo debuts on CD. This item will be packed extremely carefully to ensure safe transit.
