The Beatles ‘Box of Vision’ Book for UK Release

‘I’ve Got a Feeling’ this Christmas is going to be one made in heaven for the weathered Beatles fan, ‘Yes it Is’. Following on from a veritable ‘Helter Skelter’ of Beatles business to coincide with the 40th anniversary of their split – including the complete digital remastering of the Fab Four’s backcatalog, as well as the first official venture into the world of video gaming with The Beatles Rock Band – ‘Yesterday’ it came to the attention of Head Full of Snow that The Beatles Box of Vision is to be released in the UK in time for the festive period.

Whereas, generally, ‘Happiness is a Warm Gun’ , true happiness can only be achieved by ‘Something’ such as this book/display case combo – the type which makes you want to scream in its general direction, “I’ve ‘Got to Get You into My Life’”…

… But crap punning aside, this really looks to be one for the collector, boasting three components that will leave a Beatles enthusiast foaming at the mouth.

Book 1 – The Album Artwork Book is a 200 page, LP-sized lexicon of all The Beatles’ album covers (both UK and US), back covers, gatefolds, inserts and complete booklets, presented in new restored art prints. One for the completist to get more than a little moist under the collar over.

Book 2 – “The Catalography” is a full colour Beatles discography, bursting with photos, text and track-listings for all the UK and US releases.

Book 3 – The Box of Vision storage book is designed to organise and display the complete Beatles backcatalog in the style of lush oppulence they surely deserve. Tailored to store the recent digi-pack reissues, those who own the previous releases can still bung the CDs and booklets in, dispensing with the jewel cases or putting them to better use (ideas in the comments below, please).

“It’s the ultimate fan piece,” says designer, Jonathon Polk, and it would certainly add a spring to the step of those of The Beatles persuasion.

Available from selected outlets or mail order, it only remains for me to say, ‘Mailman, Bring Me No More Blues’, bring me one of these badboys.
