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.

I'm a winner keeping them. I love my Prima. As analog a sounding cdp these tympanics have ever heard, IMHO. With an XRCD, I'm as close to vinyl as I can get with a cdp. Don't have the disposition, room, or patience for vinyl anymore. Not to mention the $$, considering table, arm, catridge, record cleaner, phono pre, etc. Brings me back to my Kenwood KD 500 mounted with a Grace 707 arm. Can't remember the cartridge. Can't sell me on this one. But I do know of vinyl greatness. No argument there..... BTW Al, if I ever be in your neck of the woods I'd love to hear that baby of yours. I get all tingly, just looking at it..... |
I own an Australian version of that box set I bought it on ebay a year ago - low bid $120 and was suprised when I came home over the weekend and had won it wish I had a Loricraft record cleaner to do them perfect justice very nice pressings, and until these get the 180gram treatment they will be the standard tom |
I would really urge you to invest in an analog system, but even if you did, would you play them? I doubt it. So send them my way, I will play them for you. I will give you my Kiss collection as collateral(also unplayed). Just kidding. You have a choice to make, get back into vinyl, sell them, or hang on to them forever. |
too cool to sell. too bad I'm not a vinyl man anymore. It the old days (like last year...lol..) I'd look at this find as a sign from God, that I'm supposed to purchase a turntable and get cracking on developing a record collection. I wish, sometimes, that God were more powerful than my wife...Have a great Memorial Day Weekend. :-) |
Albert, I bought your post hook line and sinker. Well lo and behold I have one of 5,000 of the EAS-500031~44 imported to the US, back in '79. Can you believe they have the original 4 page lyric per album and they have never been played. The albums look like they just came out of the factory. Perfection. I've been doing some surfing and this baby (because they are unplayed) is quite a find. The website you gave me: Box Sets Info did the job: giving me the education, that is. Seems that I have a real goodie. your teasing? 'Got a thick skin. I love it....peace, warren |
Warren, I think this might be your set, maybe of some value to you. Sorry if my teasing caught you off guard. Box Sets Info |
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. http://www.gemm.com/ |
