(2 stars) - Damaged Goods
I was looking forward to receiving the Beatles Stereo for my birthday but when I opened it on the inside of the sleeve; one of the corners was crunched. For $179 I was disappointed with the conditioned when I opened it today. Now I did open the set and open one of the cds before I noticed the damage so I doubt it's returnable. But I want you to know I am very disappointed in the condition upon opening. I was really, really looking forward to this gift.

(3 stars) - dissapointed
i caved in and decided to buy both sets as i am after all as a beatles fan.what gets me is the price of these sets.they dont come cheap!.i can see however why the mono sets are much more expensive.for a start they are made in japan where the quality is more pristine than the american sets.they even sound better than if they were made in uk/america...even the card sleeves etc are of a better quality.just one thing dissapoints me is i wish they would do an alternative version in a remixed stereo set as i still prefer alternative mixes to the original.songs like on ..submarine songbook sound awhole lot better than original mix.i still cant listen to stereo versions of paperback writer,slow down,long tall sally,flying etc..theres just no depth to these mixes.so until remix comes along its back to mono versions where appropriate.thats why i bought both so i can mix up all the good versions on my playlist and be reasonably happy.i dont care if they were to use compression on songs like i want to hold your hand(love album-great!)as this does in fact give alot more oomph!!!more balls of bass etc..more depth of sound!lets do this before fans really do lose interest.i can see why older fans (such as myself even) still want to rekindle that memory associated with the origina mix but after getting overt that i still crave for alterenative versions....

(5 stars) - Stunning collection is a must-have for any Beatles fan
For some reason I was highly sceptical of the remastered stereo box set, and hence I did not purchase it right away when it came out in September. But then by chance I had the opportunity to check out one of these albums in the set ("With the Beatles", actually) and I was stunned at what I saw and heard. I finally ordered the set here on Amazon at a very good price, and the box arrived at my house the other day. Boy, am I glad I've ordered this!

"The Beatles" (14 albums, a total of 16 CDs; plus 1 DVD) is about as far away as you can get from the initial original 1987 CD release of the Beatles albums. First and foremost, the sound is fantastic, MILES better than the original CDs. Much is made about the pros and cons of the stereo mix for the early albums, and ultimately this is a subjective call (I like it). Equally important is the packaging of the albums, which is done with care for details. The DVD (50 min.) is a handy collection of the 13 mini-documentaries that otherwise is available on each of the 13 studio albums (not for the "Past Masters" album). It's nice to have, but I doubt I will watch it often again. Instead you can bet that I will listen to the various Beatles albums time and again. For whatever reason I had never purchased the White Album on CD, and listening to it now is just stunning.

If you were on the fence about buying this, as was I, do not hesitate any longer. It will be worth every penny, I can assure you. Simply a MUST HAVE for any and all Beatles fans around the world.

(3 stars) - Revolver & Beatles For Sale
Two of the albums, were labeled in korean/japanese or chinese. I have to edit the title of the songs in english. Otherwise, everything were ok.

(5 stars) - When I look at the top of the bottom and I go for a ride
If my budget permits I'm like so totally getting this as an X-Mas present for my father as a fellow Beatles fan who actually got to experience the Beatlemania during the 60's I know his GONNA love this ultimate box set (which btw I'm so freaking jealous cuz he met my mom at a Beatles show when he was my age >_< would tell me tons of hawt chicks were there & they actually gave a guy a chance unlike freaking now! >_<) Imma benefit from his box set cuz when he opens it imma download all their songs on to my iPod cuz Apple are being a bunch of jerks the have Lady Gaga, Soulja Boy, etc b.s. but no Beatles?! WTF!
