wow, did not know that. I'm only a couple states away.

I got the cassette tape box as a Christmas present from my parents in 1981. I loved all the eight tapes. Later on I was surprised to know that All My Loving in With the Beatles album starts without Ringo's hi-hat count. To me, that song definitely needs the first five counts. Even now I feel uncomfortable when I hear the song without it. First musical experiences in childhood give such dominative influence on life afterwards.

its odd, uh? the versions we hear first are often the versions we like best. its not a constant, but it is common. i think it has to do with "familiarity." humans just tend to embrace the familiar. i'm that way too. and like everything else, sometimes its a good thing and sometimes not so good.

I just picked up this set for £62. Every time I watch one of your videos I end up spending more money. I now have the BC13 box set, the German Magical Mystery Tour and Please Please Me albums, the DeAgostini Help! LP, the 2019 singles collection in addition to this Beatles Box amongst others all due to your recommendations. I don't regret any of them.

My aunt had the Australian version, I was too young to understand anything about the different mixes, but spent many afternoons working my way through the entire box several times. It formed a big part of my early musical education.

Finally got a Japanese one for $80. You weren't kidding about the records being quiet. It sounds even better than I expected and it's nice to have these rarities in one place. And as always it's good to have another Beatles box in the house. Thanks for the heads up (two years ago...)!

Nice one, Jason. Enjoy!

I was at a small record/CD/cassette fair and my mother and I noticed this set. That was the single best day for my record collection, as I also found an original 1971 copy of 'Hunky Dory' by Bowie. I definitely recommend this collection!

Got a japanese one a few days ago for 200€. The box had a few scratches, but the records are brand new and look like they've been played maybe once or twice. The sound is amazing. Highly recommended!

Bought this back in 1981, new from Disc Jockey Records for $15. The clerks asked if I would open it so they could see what it looked like! I've kept it in nice condition since it was a prized possession in my Beatles collection.

Great vid man. This is the set that got me into The Beatles in the 90’s. Me mum and dad had a copy and I played it to death, especially disc 3! Going to borrow it off them and play it again. I always thought it sounded brilliant, and yeah very few crackles on the vinyl

I’ve got the Japanese pressing. It sounds so good that I don’t feel the need to find a second, though for completeness sake I kind of want the UK pressing.

Hey Andrew, a little update for you on the Ringo “Love Me Do”. The version on the US RARITIES comp came from a copy of the Canadian Capitol single (72076) that was owned by Ron Furmanek. The Canadian single was actually a needledrop of a UK Parlophone stock copy, sent by EMI with other contemporary releases to Canada for possible release. No idea what source was used for the World Box, but pretty sure it’s from a UK source. Cheers.

Another great video. We are the same age and I began my Beatles vinyl collecting in 1980 as well. I am an ardent fan. I have to admit i never liked the packaging of this box set...in fact I thought it made The Beatles look cheap. I had the chance to purchase a mint set a few months ago for $50 Aus and turned it down without regret. Your video has certainly changed my opinion sound wise.

Hi Andrew. I own the UK and Japanase versions. The japanese is extremely quiet. I heard the mexican version many years ago and it was terrefic. Being a collector I bought the cassettes too. Due to age they sounded woobly, so I bought a second set, and the result was the same. Not being defeated I rescued them because i relize the problem was the mechanism inside the tapes. I bought new tapes (Maxwell) and I translated the tapes to their new cases, changed all the parts,and voila!, problem solved. The sound quality is excellent, quiet, cleand and direct. They go head to head with the vinyl, not distorsion or jumps. I will encourage owners of the cassettes to try. You will be suprise how good they sound! Thanks.

I'm surprised my dear Mexico had its own box. I'll look for it later, it looks like a great piece to collect in the "under 100 USD" range. Great video as always

I think sound of this set sounds wonderful it never sounds harsh or aggressive the balance of sound is just right and seems more enjoyable than some of the remastered l.ps that have surfaced in recent years .

Brilliant review of unexpectedly great box set - great for completists but with some good different versions of songs.

Hi Andrew, I enjoy your channel so much, thanks for all your effort! I own the UK and JPN versions of this set and like the mastering of the UK one better. I have a question, which tapes were used to cut these sets? Did the Uk one use a generation earlier than the other boxes? When I look at the MFSL picture of the Abbey Road mastertape box there doesn’t seem to be an entree for this box as there was for example the blue album. Can you bring light at this?

Beatles Ballads is such a great compilation album. I listen to it from time to time.

I remember seeing an ad for this in a magazine or something when I was a kid. My mum wouldn’t get it for me. Wish she had again after seeing this.

Aha!!! So, THIS is where you can get that extra bar of 'Walrus'. When I was commenting on the Bootleg Records I mentioned having this on a Cassette.

I received my French pressing (with sleeves pressed in Holland) just 4 days ago. It was your video that made me look for it. I don't know if I believed you about sound quality when I first watched your video, but you were definitely right and this set blew me away soundwise. It is definitely one of the best (if not the best) sounding Beatles records in my collection. The surprises came one after the other! Having been accustomed to the duophonic "P.S. I Love You" from "Love Songs", the song re-invented itself in here. "Misery" sounds as good as ever and the handclaps on "Roll Over Beethoven" sound as if executed in the same room as me! I have only played record 1 so far, but I'll definitely be making high-quality cassette copies of this to re-discover the Beatles as I move on! I did love vinyl/cd boxes before receiving this, but this one will definitely make me adore them. Thanks again for the nice little details and keep up the good work.

Hi Andrew. Great videos as always and the attention to detail is mind boggling. I know you are looking for ideas for new vids. I would love to hear a lowdown on the history and issues of the Beatles EPs.

The tracks “Long Tall Sally”, “I Call Your Name”, “Matchbox “, “Slow Down”, and “I’m Down” were previously available in stereo on 1976 compilation album “Rock n Roll Music”. Original UK and Japanese versions were used unaltered stereo mixes. And, as you know, the US version tracks were altered by George Martin. He added EQ, filtered the bass and placed in the center, and reversed the stereo image.

Another great vid, Andrew! Never gave this set a thought until now--just may have to indulge in it eventually (and yeah, why has there not been more comment about the egregious Penny Lane promo version on the Sgt Pepper deluxe box? Sounds like the most amateurish needledrop imaginable.)

My box set has a mixture of orange and black Parlophone labels. It is the Australian version from WRC and sounds fantastic. Has a big poster as well.

Depends on how they would fell about the slight alterations to them.3 discs for the White,which includes Hey Jude,and a reprise of same on the 3rd disc,but an alternative for the mono for REVOLUTION.Abbey Road would replace Come Together and Something,but would the World Wildlife Across The Universe be included,yes.Adhering to John's "no singles"rule here,even if he did ok it.A later compendium program features them.

I agree, I've always seen this box as the unsung hero of Beatles collectibles.

Hello Andrew :The truth is that it is a very good set, I remember when the promotional disc arrived in the mailbox, I can't wait to put it on, but unfortunately it was lost in the mists of time. In its day it was impossible for me to acquire it, luckily I was able to get one a year and a half ago. The edition that I have is the Spanish one, differences with the English one, since all the songs are the standard ones published in Spain, except for "I feel fine", "All my loving" does not have the intro, "And I lover her" it's the normal one with four bars and not six, as well as "The continuing" which does have the flamenco guitar at the beginning. The box comes with a flap to open on the front and includes a text booklet, apart from the text that appears on the back covers of the discs. The disc labels are red with black text, the reference number for the first one is: 10c 164-007.560. The covers are laminated. But overall a must have set with a great sound. Greetings from Spain

Loving your channel - Thanks. I got this UK 8LP box set on release Dec 1980 - £29.95, took about 3 weeks to arrive. The hook for me was the advertised unique stereo mixes here in the UK. Curiously, it arrived the day John Lennon's murder was announced. Such a shame that some of the sleeves have wrong-era photos, & one is reversed (Paul is right-handed !!) + the "Help!" album is over-represented, having 12/13 tracks represented + it's borderline criminal that "All Together Now" was preferred over "Hey Bulldog" IMO.

Funny enough some Dutch copies (like mine) have a wrong label on Record 3 of the set. Side 2 has no label mentioning the Beatles tracks, accidentally it has a label that was from a Dutch popgroup called "Drukwerk" ("Printing" in English). Fortunately, only the label is wrong.

I have this box set in my collection-bought this new in the early 90s from the World Record Club in NZ for approx $75+ still have it Auckland New Zealand 2021

Hello Andrew. Enjoyed your video. I finally bought this set over 20 years ago for £40.00, though it wasn't in the best condition as the box was damaged (the hinge had come right off the box) and a couple of the records were in poor condition. A few years ago, I bought a box in better condition for I think it was £28.00 on ebay and then sold on my first set. I've only played the first record, which skipped on a few tracks but this could be just down to my stylus (it needs replacing) and also the records were dirty with dust and marks on them. So I'm thinking that after a good clean (when I eventually get around to doing so), the records will sound better. I was aware of this set way back in 1980 when it was advertised in the national daily British press (I saw the ad in the Daily Mirror) and thought one day I would like to get it. I don't know if you are aware of that a copy of the original advertisement is shown in the book 'The Long And Winding Road - A History Of The Beatles On Record' by Neville Stannard. It is on page 8 in the revised and updated edition published in 1983 (the first edition from 1982 does not show it). This was for a long time my Beatles Bible as my original copy is worn and battered but I've since bought a first publication and a better condition of the second press. I was also going to comment that you made a couple of errors on some the the versions/mixes that were issued on these records but I saw other people have done so in the comments. I would like to see a comparison video on the Beatles' original EPs/EP Collection that was issued in 1981? Thanks again.

Hi, my copy is from Columbia S. America. Compared to my brothers UK version, mine has EMI / READERS DIGEST lables and a way heavier cardboard box with thin glossy cardboard sleeves. The sound is excellent. No extras or booklets but a great collection all the same. Thx!

Thanks for the information!

I have a friend -- here in the United States -- who actually found this in a wholesale chain store (not Sam's, maybe Costco??) in New Mexico back when it was in print!

I managed to buy a mint copy around 5 years ago. And was blown away when I put the first record on. Their early harmonies really stand out. I was very impressed, the order of the early songs I loved. Nice to have the Hits blended with album tracks. She's a woman with beatles for sale. I'm Down with Help and album tracks, I found there were almost 2 sides for help. Shame It was missing Yes it is. But Rubber soul tracks having day tripper and we can work it out blended is good. Same as revolver having paperback writer blended was good, but shame they didn't include Rain. Others were good, I totally agree with you on Hey bulldog instead of all together now. And the white album definitely was missing Helter skelter. I mainly listen to the Please Please me to revolver era. Because of the song orders are good. Like the video 👍

I agree, the running order is nicely done.

I spent the entire summer of 1981 mowing lawns to make the money to buy an import of this in the USA. I think it was around $70.00 retail at the time. I still own and love it.

EXCELLENT

Many thanks!

I've got the Japanese version, bought it in 1981, I believe. Always sounded really good to my ears.

The first true stereo mix of "I'm Down" was released in 1965 on the Japanese EP "Help!".

I bought this box set when it first came out in 1980. The photograph on the cover of Disc 2 is printed in reverse, making it looks though Paul is playing right handed and John left handed. I believe this was rectified in later pressings.

I got this as a 14 year old and still have it in fab condition.

i have the readers digest version of this in Australia had it for ages this was also issued on world records mail order service

Help!(the UA soundtrack)includes the original 7,plus 4 others,including Yes It Is (wet mix versions)the newly remixed Beatles '65-based mixes for She's A Woman,and I Feel Fine(previously mentioned)and I'm Down.
