Our First Four - The Apple Box Set The Beatles Sent to The Queen

Описание: In August 1968 The Beatles' Apple Records label celebrated the launch of the label by issuing their first 4 singles in a special promotional pack, which has since become one of their most collectible pieces of memorabilia. In this video we tell the full story behind that set and the records in it. We also find out how Frank Sinatra found his way onto Apple 1 and what happened to the Queen's VIP set.
