Mail Order Sheet --> Click!
Issued with an information leaflet for the box. Included are reproductions of all the Polydor Tony Sheridan/ Beatles/ Beat Brothers singles as originally issued in Japan.
The sleeves are designed as record pockets (that hold the records) as opposed to the originals that consist of a generic sleeve and a cover sheet.
The record labels are very similar to the originals, but the numbers are different.
Distribution of this box set was limited and accomplished mainly by mail order through "The Beatles Record Club".
Be aware that many of these box sets were broken up and the singles sold individually.
