Beatles: Help ?


I own (just found it in deep storage) a boxed set of Toshiba EMI Beatle albums. 12 to be exact. The box is entirely in Japanese. Each album has cellophane sleeves for the records. The box is blue 3/4 quarters of the way up in the front with a white flip cover at the top. All lettering on the top is in Japanese. EMI is printed on the individual albums, as well as Apple on many of them. The back of the box is entirely blue. I purchased this baby in 1978ish? 'twas expensive at the time, but I can't, for the life of me, remember where and how much I

paid for it. Was purchased at a Hi End audio store. Anybody have a clue what I have? All the albums have not been played. A stylus has never touched them. thanks in advance.

Warren, that’s not a good set, I would value it at $34.50 total.

However, since your a long time Audiogon member, I will pay you $39.50 and even spring for the shipping charges.

No need to thank me, that's what friends are for !
Warren you have to know I'm teasing you. Who would not want that set?

Being Japanese and un-played, it is likely worth hundreds of dollars. I am not an expert and would suggest to have a look at GEMM (or similar LP sites) for ideas as to real value.

Warren, I think this might be your set, maybe of some value to you. Sorry if my teasing caught you off guard.

I agree Warren, $250.00 for your set (unplayed) would be a steal. That’s only about $20.00 an album.

I hope you do put your analog back into service and give those special albums a spin. If so, tell us how much were missing :^).
Sorry Warren, you wrote BTW AI and was not sure it was addressed to me. Certainly your welcome any time. In fact, I will even drive to the airport and pick you up if your flying in and not renting a car.

So, when is the big day? Lugnut is coming Friday, you may as well join us then.
