Beatles Box Sets on Amazon

Reissuing Beatles material has never been a recent concept. The repackaging of Beatles material began almost instantly as soon as the Beatles released their first United Kingdom albums Please Please Me and With The Beatles in 1963. With the release of frequent singles between the U.K. albums, Capitol Records in the United States released their own versions of Beatles albums combining assorted tracks from the UK albums and the non-album U.K. singles. So from the start, the Beatles have easily become the most repackaged band in rock and roll history.

There have been hundreds of Beatles Box sets released over the years round the world. It would be beyond the scope of a single article to be able to list them all. Since the multitude of Beatles box sets released from the 197o’s have become long out of print, this article will focus on the Beatles Box Sets that are still in print and easy to aquire for modest prices, or at least retail prices.

In 2009, Capitol Records reissued remastered versions of the original UK Beatles albums on CD, It was by far the best sounding issues of the Beatles on CD that Capitol Records ever released.
