Question
Hi James. I recently purchased a Beatles 3-cd box set at a garage sale. It is tiled "Best Selection 1962-1968 Part 1-2-3. It has an obi around the box, as well as each of the 3 cd's. The label name is "Craig". There is a company address on the box stating Daiichi Kikaku, Tokyo Japan. Any information regarding this set would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much, Jeffrey

Answer
Hi - That is an illegal/bootleg asian release which compiles much of the red/blue albums.  There is no real value to those discs other than what you or someone else would pay for them.  The recordings are all standard (not bootleg).  
Hope that helps
-Jim
