Here is the COMPLETE SET of 22
Beatles 20th anniversary 7" picture discs !!
Starting in 1982, EMI decided to celebrate the anniversary of the Beatles first single Love Me Do with a special picture disc.
They continued to issue 7" picture discs for all 22 of the original UK singles.
Offered for sale here is the COMPLETE SET of 22 7" picture discs. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I have never seen the compete set ever offered for sale anywhere before.
All discs were purchased new by me. Each side of each open disc has been played only once with just a few exceptions. These discs are "like new."
** Please carefully read the following notes:
1. A few of the plastic covers have minor seam splits. That's how I received them.
2. Disc #'s 5 & 10 (I Want To Hold Your Hand and Help!) were sealed by the specific importer. All others were shipped & received openĀ 
3. The last few issues have a black insert (see photos); most do not. Again, that's how I received them.
4. The first 19 discs are mono. Ballad of John & Yoko, Come Together, and Let It Be are stereo. Get Back/Don't Let Me Down uses the rarely heard mono mix.
5. Some of the disc photos were previously unpublished. "Rain" uses the ever-popular Butcher Cover photo.
6. *Most importantly: 1980's picture discs were much noisier right out of the press than today's PD's. Besides a few ticks & pops, there is the clear sound of "the needle in the groove." That's just a sign of the technology (or lack thereof!) of the time.
Please email me with any questions before bidding.
Shipping will include full insurance. Please see my other auctions for more fun Beatles vinyl and interesting audiophile discs. Thank you for reading this.
