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 !

Albert, the fact that the records are unplayed and given the age: $39.50? ouch! How'd you come up with that price? If that be the deal I'll hang on to them just to look, every several years, in between garage sales, at those virgin grooves. It'll be a groovy thing....

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.
