The Beatles Collection (LP Box Set)
This item is an original vinyl LP box set titled 'The Beatles Collection,' originally released by EMI/Parlophone in 1978. The item is characterized by its large, square navy blue or textured black cardboard outer slipcase box with a top-opening flap. On the front panel, 'The Beatles Collection' is printed in a distinctive gold serif typeface, underlined and overlined by thin gold bars. Notably, the lower portion of the front cover features facsimile (printed) gold signatures of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. This specific set traditionally contains 13 studio albums and a bonus 'Rarities' LP, though the contents are not visible in the image. From a physical assessment, the box appears to be constructed of heavy-gauge paperboard. The surface shows visible signs of age and wear, including edge wear, slight corner blunting, and some scuffing/shelf wear on the dark textured surface. There are minor white marks near the bottom edge and bottom right corner. The craftsmanship reflects late-1970s mass-market record production standards. This collection is a significant piece of music history, capturing the band's studio output in a consolidated high-budget format released shortly before the transition to CD prominence.
