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 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

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.....

Mine are essentially unplayed but the box itself is not perfect.

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.
