DEAL OF THE DAY: The Beatles / The US Albums 13CD box set
The recently announced 13CD box set of The Beatles Capitol albums is due for release on 20 January 2014.
Each CD in The U.S. Albums box set has mono and stereo versions of each album (with a couple of exceptions) and exquisite packaging with vinyl replica jackets, inner sleeves reproduced to exacting detail and with Yesterday And Today even being supplied with a sticker of the ‘trunk’ cover which you can paste over the infamous ‘butcher’ sleeve (or not!).
Anyway, the cheapest place to pick this up is Amazon Canada where it is currently only $135 Canadian, which is £78, or a little over HALF the cost of the set on Amazon UK (£145). Obviously, remember to factor in shipping fees and concerns about import duty (if applicable) but still worthy of ‘Deal of the Day’!
Anybody know if Yesterday and Today is available with the withdrawn art OUTSIDE of the box? All I get is the pasted-over art if I want to buy the CD on its own, rather than the box. The price here in Japan isn’t too bad for the import, but I’d really rather have just a few select titles, and be content with my 2009 issues and the Mono Box.
Still not a good deal based on the fact it isn’t what it purports to be.
I ordered a large DVD box set a year ago from Canada, not from amazon, and did not pay any import duty. The cost was about £100.
Not sure if I was just lucky.
For what it’s worth I think you can pay duty on amazon.ca at the purchase point and avoid the administration fee over here.
