The Beatles with wood case

There has always been debates about the sonic differences between Toshibas release and the rest of the worlds. I really do not think Toshibas sounds any different but I can assure you they do sound at least as good. The Wood Box is a Joke. Concentrate on getting the discs & 2 booklets. I was lucky to receive this as a gift. It is nice to have these just for the reaction Beatle fans have. I think everyone would be better served by a REMIX of the original recordings. But George Martin probably would be reluctant and I can see why. If all of the Band was alive and well and could participate he would probably be happy to do so. But I also see why he would be happy to leave the versions that were so great as they were when released just as they are. Hope I made some sense. Do not spend over $200 for this or you will probably feel ripped off in my opinion.

good collection even though most of compact discs are from Holland and not from the u.k.

Thanks

beatles boxed set was not new & the wooden roll-up box was broken

This set has been completely replaced by the remastered stereo box set which has undeniably supperior sound, apparently at a much lower price.However, released in 1988, this had been the ultimate CD box set of Beatles music containing the entire official Beatles canon, all thirteen UK albums plus the two disc Past Masters (a total of 211 songs/217 tracks on 16 CDs). The roll top case is very nice for storing, displaying, and accessing the discs. The booklet that came with mine provides a very nice description of the music, with nice pictures, although the binding is poor.I bought this box set in 1999 after losing my CDs and records in a house fire. So, at that time, it was well worth the approximately $150 I paid for it.The Beatles Box Set is a terrific package of terrific music, but is simply no longer necessary since the release of superior sounding collections. The case and booklet are nice to have, but not necessarily made to last, and certainly not worth the cost of buying this collection.

Simply why spend money like this on old poor mastered CD's. New mixes are coming and the 2009 boxsets beat these hands down. Only thing you gaining is a box that you could use to put in the new mastered CD's. Collectable value here is zero. Wait and soon they are will come out with remixed and sounding better than ever!

Okay, so everyone wants to bash this set because it contains the original 1987 versions of the beatles' catalog and not the spiffy 2009 remasters. I used to own this set myself, but I sold it a month before the remasters came out to help finance the mono box and the individual stereo releases. If I could have justified keeping it, I would have. It's a beautiful display piece with the black lacquer roll top box, and if you're a Beatles collector it's something you might want to pick up. Yes, the used CD bins are full of the individual 1987 CDs, but this will ultimately be a true collectors item. Anyway, the original CDs sounded pretty good....yes, the new ones do sound better on the whole with better separation and more overall range, but these really aren't so bad.

What kind of a gimmick is this? These are the 1980's versions of the Beatles CDs. I bought this set years ago for about a third of the price listed here. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this price! There is no reason for the price of this box set to appreciate. As another reviewer says, the 2009 remasters have made this box set obsolete. Compared with the new CDs, the sound on this set is like throwing a couple of sheets over your speakers. And the box is just normal wood--not even Norwegian! I can't believe this is Amazon! Buy the new remastered box set. There is no more purpose for this set other than artifact or museum piece.

箱が壊れてた

私はビートルズに出会って5年程でまだまだ浅いファンですが、今ではもう彼らの虜です。音楽に関しては全くの素人ですが、こんな私でもビートルズの偉大さは理解できます。素晴らしい音楽は心を浄化してくれるような気がします。彼らに出会って私は幸せです。このBOXは宝物です。実に為になる買い物をしました。みなさんも是非☆ビートルズで好きな曲を選ぶのはとても難しいですが、最近は、PAST MASTERS1の「BAD BOY」がお気に入りです。ジョンのしゃがれ声がたまりません。

事前の不良説明よりも少し酷かったけど、値段を考えたら、こんなもんでしょ。中のCDは良かったです。

我が家の家宝にします！
