Ordered the Beat box set £10 with postage Bargin L
Grabbed the beatles box on amazon ca then instantly regretted it,
£40 shipping tried to cancel but already “processed” My fault didnt read the cost properly. also very put off by the amount of negative comments ref the Stereo box versus mono.Any comments?
There’s nothing inherently ‘wrong’ with the stereo box, it’s just that it sourced from digital rather than the analogue-sourced mono box. The latter is obviously ‘better’ but that doesn’t mean the stereo box isn’t good.
read so many negative comments about it was really worried
also comments about pressing quality.Have you seen one in the flesh Paul any info would be gratefully received.Thanks again for all your hard work with this site.
Hi Andrew… I don’t have the box but I do have the individual vinyl records. All I can say is that I don’t have any issues with the quality (packaging) and the sound of the ones I have. I hope you have the same experience with your new box when it arrives. P
to my ears, the remastered 2009 vinyl sound better than the original vinyl.

Try contacting customer service. It couldn’t have shipped yet. And don’t try a return. Your shipping money is gone, you have to pay return shipping and there is a 25% restocking fee.
I ordered it as well and went past the £40 delivery costs as it was still cheaper than Amazon UK. When I attempted to take delivery I was asked for another £42 import fees by the delivery company – pushing the cost to nearly £220. I refused delivery and am negotiating a refund.
I realise a new thread about Black Friday deals will be forthcoming but I’ve just picked up The Isley Brothers “The Complete RCA Victor And T-Neck Album Masters” Box Set for just under 40 Euros on Amazon Italy. Works out to around £32 with postage to the UK which is an incredible deal if anybody is interested!
