The Beatles Collection (1978)

UK edition of the 1978 box set featuring all 13 original full length albums (including the double LP The Beatles). The Beatles and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band also include the original inserts.

    I purchased the UK version of this set in 1978. On the box is the lettering “Made In England” just below the BC 13 mark on the side panel. I’ve looked at numerous other sets and found only on other set with the same label. Can you confirm the rarity of this set?

    I bought the UK version new in 1986 — in America.
    Many copies of the box appeared on a display at a pre-Costco type of store called the Price Club. Of course, I had to have it!
    Any insight into why British versions of this boxed set would be sold at the retail level in America?
    Thanks!
