Item Description

The Beatles Story - The Authentic B.B.C.
Production 13 Picture Disc Set RAREST BEATLES BOOTLEG THE BACKSTORY The Beatles Story aired on British Broadcasting Company BBC Radio One, May through August 1972.
It was a 13-part, 55 minutes each, radio documentary of authentic music and first-hand interviews covering the entire history of The Beatles from their individual beginnings to the breakup of the band.
The BBC made complete use of their own archive of audio interviews and music.
Later that same year, the series also aired in 13 weekly segments to subscribing radio stations throughout the United States.
The U.S.
version was 46 minutes each, pared down for the necessary commercials.
It was syndicated more widely beginning July 4th, 1973 and again, with an additional hour of new material, in December 1973.
The Beatles Story was the pioneer and originator of the radio programming segment format in America known as the Music Documentary.
From the 1980s onward, you probably have listened and still do to the best known nationally-aired Beatles-themed radio shows of their day: Breakfast with the Beatles 1976-current , The Lost Lennon Tapes 1988-1992 , Joe Johnson s Beatle Brunch 1992 current and The Beatle Years with Bob Malik 1992-current .
The longest-running Beatles-themed radio programme in Europe is BeatlesandBeyond presented by Pete Dicks of England 2000?-current .
You are bidding on The Beatles Story / The Authentic B.B.C.
Production from London Wavelength 1980 : ONLY 150 WERE PRODUCED this is 122/150 in a 13 vinyl LP set of 12 picture discs in a brown faux-leather bound album with a 26 double-sided page 8 x 11 booklet of disc jockey cue sheets and music copyright pages not originals from any radio station that accompanied the radio station broadcast.
Each LP has a photo on one side that is unique to that disc the other side lists the title of the chapter contained on the disc with the common Wavelength logo, each disc in different colors.
The album set contains thirteen pockets: one for each LP and each LP is in a paper sleeve inside the pocket that depicts the same likeness as the picture disc LP.
The chronological titles of the LPs: The Birth of the Liverpool Sound Getting it on Wax Chart Success and the Package Tours Begin The Start of Beatlemania The World Surrenders The Life and Rewards of Success When the Touring had to Stop The Psychedelic Chapter Meditation and Corporation Hello Goodbye or Come Together The End of The Beatles The John Paul George and Ringo Show John Paul George and Ringo Today All records have been cleaned twice with five minute cycles by my Audio Desk Systeme, the best record cleaner in the world.
This cleaning system enhances the sound, so you will not find another copy of this rare record set in better sounding condition in the world.
Each record has a new MOFI sleeve, which is the best record sleeve in the world.
I tested each record, there is some minor skipping especially of record one side one which probably is inherent in all copies.
There is not a mark on any picture disc.
I tried to upload as many photos I m allowed on eBay.
Each picture disc has a different image and color on side one and side two has the Wavelength Beatles picture.
The BBC production notes is basically close to mint condition.
The faux leather ? is in near mint condition with just minor corner wear see photos .
All original record sleeves are included though records themselves are in new MOFI sleeves which prevent record scratching when removing from sleeve and keep record from getting a static charge to prevent static sounds when playing on your turntable.
You will not find another set like this possibly ever again that has been cared for, professionally cleaned and tended.
NON SMOKING HOUSE I am a master packager.
I ve over 80,000 records with tens of thousand of them being rare.
Add me to your fav seller list.
Every once in awhile I list rare records.
Probably will be listing some rare Beatles, MOFI and best condition Vertigo Swirl labels in the world over the next year or so.
