Am I correct in thinking that this is an American edition? (Note the Rarities cover.) But where's the gold lettering? And 'leather' embossed cover? Or, an Australian edition?

Looks like a bog standard NZ (or Aus) edition. Rarities cover looks standard to me too.

it's a good old kiwi emi set, which had the us rarities.
the aus set was in a dark blue/navy box and mastered in aus with orange parlophone labels.
the nz was cut from emi uk masters and is still one of the finest sounding beatles sets.
forget the new stereo black box.
play this set and you will laugh at the ridiculous mo-fi set.
even the japanese odeons and assorted red vinyl etc pale.

Anyone with an ounce of sense would snap that up in a flash! With all this talk of a 'vinyl revival' that box set will be worth something one day! 🙄

I bought my Blue Box for about $150 a few years ago, and I'm sure it has been played but otherwise is Near Mint.
No red lettering though. Mime is in a gold colour.
And sounds very good.

Gold lettering, light blue box, not flip top. An NZ variant same as red letter box I believe.
