Deal alert / Beatles in Mono vinyl
‘Deal of the day’ on Amazon Canada today only (‘while stocks last’), is the universally praised 14LP The Beatles in Mono VINYL box set. And it’s an incredible price!
At the time of writing these are available for $229 CA which is about £114!!! The same box is £259 on the UK site.

Ho-Lee-Crap. Got mine in Texas today. Triple boxed, with the outer layer 26 x 21 x 17 inches! One layer was the original shipping box TO Amazon. It’s definitely never been opened before, and Mono Masters is the only volume that’s shrink wrapped.
My copy is expected in California by the end of Thursday. Did Amazon.ca do a good job of packing the box?
I received mine today. Packing was excellent but The box had no cellophane to seal it and almost all of the albums were unsealed. I was particularly distressed to see that the magical mystery tour’s attached insert was completely torn off. Deal or not, I’m wondering whether this was a used and returned set. I wonder if this is normal. Could anyone please tell me whether they received a sealed copy?
I think the unsealed thing is standard. Pretty sure mine was unsealed. The Queen boxes are unsealed on the outside. Obviously the MMT thing is unfortunate.
Thanks Paul for the quick reply, much appreciated. I’m crazy enough to buy a solo MMT to replace the boxed one, hope they are the same.
Having ordered and expected delivery in 5-6 weeks they arrived today!! No Duty to pay either
Wow. That’s a great result.
It’s CDN$ 399.99 now.
Thank you, great deal!
Its’s on the road to Mexico. Thank you once again Paul.
Thanks for the heads up! Been waiting quite awhile to get one. Now if I can just get myself to open them all and play them.
Ugh, just got this warning while trying to checkout for a US delivery:
“Sorry, but this item can’t be shipped to your selected address…
About Shipping Restrictions
Warranty issues and manufacturer restrictions prevent us from shipping certain products to all geographical locations.

MEGA deal! Ordered! $202 shipping to the US included….
Im selling my stereo box if anyone is interested… :)
Any guesses on typical import taxes for something this size? I remember something I bought for £60 costing me an extra £17
Just remember, in North America, the vinyl spins to the right. Have a North American compatible vinyl record player. :-)
LMAO!!!!
Last year, I bought the Beatles Mono vinyl box in a store at Montreal (Canada) and it is an European pressings, indeed!
Add on £45 for 1-2 week shipping to UK, still a great price.
With shipping to the UK it takes it up to £160. I’m just worried about 1) damage in the post and 2) import tax (I’ve been stung a couple of times before!). Do I or don’t I?
$195 USD shipped to the US under my calculations.
I ordered, and in the hopes that I don’t get my head chopped off, the Beatles aren’t even in my top 10. I just want one of my young kids to someday have this set and take off to college.
Works out £158.86 including shipping to the UK. Big problem is that the import duty will be approx. £50 which starts to make it not such a bargain!
Great deal Paul. Any idea roughly what import taxes would be likely payable on this to the Uk? Thanks
No actual duty due, just VAT, which will be about £35 – ish
Thank you, Paul!!! Was lurking after this one for a long time waiting for the right moment… Thank you!
Will this be subject to customs charges?
Import duty to the UK is zero. VAT due to the UK will be about £35-ish. Plus ‘admin’ fee.
Not quite as great as it looks if you’re in the UK, with shipping and tax weighing in at over £70…
Still about £70 to be saved minimum

Wow, you Canadians and Americans especially, what a terrific deal! There’s an additional £40 p&p for the slowest service to the UK though, and presumably about £1000 import duty so reluctantly I’ll have to pass this one up.
Hi Paul!
Do you know if there’s different pressings for the Beatles “Mono” box set?
I know there is an European and an US pressing for the Beatles “Stereo” box set.
Would be interesting to know if there’s a big difference in the quality of the pressing….
that’s why i’m not sure if i should get the box from Canada even at this low price!
Cheers,
Chris
I think the Monos are the same worldwide…
I bought this box (Beatles in Mono viny) lin Montreal, Canada and it is an European pressing.
Thank you Paul! Although the last thing I needed to do was spend more money on CDs, I couldn’t say no especially at a USD $ 202 price.
You do realise these are records not CDs.
Yes, I do. Forgive me, it’s the first time that I have purchased vinyl since the early 1980s….
$229.99 CAD is a huge bargain!!! With S&H USD $202.59 to USA. These are the nice original style albums instead of the inferior Stereo package. Too bad I was an early adopter.
