  • They forgot about Yellow Submarine, that was the official last album that was released in mono

  • I was grinning from ear to ear when you got out all the little LP sleeves and Sargent Pepper cutouts :D

  • that was some shitty shipping whatever company you got it from did. I mean he opened up the brown box and it was just the mono beatles set, there was no bubble wrap or nothing.

  • Just got mine in the mail!!! Got it for 130 from amazon!!!!!!

  • I do love the smell of new!

    

  • love the way you talk in the video :)

    makes it fun watching

    i only have ''abbey road'' remastered on cd.

    i've got the whole stereo/mono thing downloaded from my computer.

    i know '' it's a shame..''

    but i will buy the stereo boxset in the future

    damn i love the beatles

    the thing is..with modern rock albums...you can just pick a song.

    with a beatles album, it works so much better when you listen the entire album at once

    :)

  • Counterfeit

  • @dandydanlevy well that was

    *puts sunglasses on*

    QUITE SNEAKY

  • I'll let you know.

  • If I receive a counterfeit (I bought it from someone named Sneaky Pete). Stay tuned.

  • By the way, I enjoyed your video very much.

  • I just ordered the Mono box set for $78. It's over two years since this set was released. For a "limited" edition, this doesn't seem very limited. And the drop in price has to drive some who bought the set early crazy.

  • @TheseFilthyHands1 Absolutely.

  • you sir have a counterfit box set lmao

  • @TrueGamerXL You are counterfeit. Get your facts straight.

  • @dverada oh wait sorry i had two taps open at the same time of your video and a counterfit one wow lol anyway whats the different in sound anyway?

  • @TrueGamerXL this is not a counterfeit

  • So since you own both now, do you like the stereo version better or mono? I buying the mono version for the original sound of their music. Glad I got to see an unboxing before I purchased.

  • @turtl3soup Glad I have both.

  • @ColinMcDonaldGrant Much (if not all) of the original recordings were engineered and meant to be heard in Mono. Many Beatles purists prefer the mono mix (along with myself). Something about the stereo mix sounds lopsided to me I guess.

  • @ColinMcDonaldGrant Why both? Because we are hardcore Beatles fans. That's why

  • @6arcsn1sky I'm a hardcore Beatles fan too, but I don't waste my money on everything Beatles related.

  • @ColinMcDonaldGrant To you it may be a waste to buy both, but it just shows a big true support from the fans regardless of sound preference and monetary.

  • @6arcsn1sky I did my senior paper on John Lennon, and in an interview with Playboy, he said that he wasn't a fan of releasing their albums in mono as well. I support Lennon 100%

  • @ColinMcDonaldGrant Well, you probably know that all four prefer mono over stereo.

  • @6arcsn1sky False. Definitely not John.

  • @ColinMcDonaldGrant What do you mean false? Or do I need to satisfy you by me naming all four Beatles in my last comment?

  • @6arcsn1sky I don't understand. The Beatles basically invented stereo sound. Have you ever heard of anyone trying to listen to one of their songs on an ipod with only one earphone? You can't do it.

  • @ColinMcDonaldGrant The Beatles inventing stereo? Bullshit. Stereo was around a lot longer, but the methods were considered expensive. I've listened to the Beatles in stereo either one speaker or one earphone with other devices years before the iPod, and stereo is a pain in the ass to listen. Truthfully, hear what these songs are in mono before judging us that both is a waste of time and money.

  • I must ask, why didn't Apple Corps use jewel cases?

  • can u please upload maybe some of the cds on here from your mono box i have been dying to hear them in mono please please please please btw i love this vid u r so funny when u say "SHALL WE!!!!!!" lol thnks for uploading ur box!

  • Why on amazon does the mono box set is more expensive than the stereo box set even though the mono box set only has like 10 albums?

  • Nice boxset. I personally rather have the vinyl and have all the US issues and 2 Parlophone issues so far. Nice collection mate.

  • Hi there. I like the video. I have just a quick question for you. Now I received my Beatles mono set today! 100% authentic and flawless plus it sounds amazing! On your mono masters cd, does it have the paper sleeve? Mine does not and im thinking they are just made that way. Thank you for your time.

  • do you know why 'yellow submarine, abbey road, and let it be' were never recorded on mono and only in stereo???? couldnt they just edit it to mono now with all the technology that we have nowww??

  • I really enjoyed the vid. 1 question for you, where did you order yours from? Reason I ask is because im having a hard time finding a trustworthy company that doesnt sell counterfit ones. Thank you.

  • Nice video! Got me the same box but made in Japan. Read all about the differences between Beatles In Mono box sets made in Japan, USA and EU: w w w . c d j a p a n .c o . j p / d e t a i l v i e w . h t m l ? K E Y = T O C P - 7 1 0 4 1

  • Que edición es ese Box set mono, Usa o Japón?

    saludos

  • Awesome! Greetings from Mexico

  • Okay... Oonboxin videoo... Okay...

  • where is the let it be mono version???

  • @whelljack Abbey Road and Let It Be were originally recorded in stereo, that's why there's no mono version of those.

  • Is Magical Mystery Tour a double EP in the mono box?

  • @boogiefever1985 Nope. It's just one disc with 11 tracks on it.

  • Which should i get the mono or stereo version? 

  • LOL CAN U GIVE ME1???

  • I wish I had one, but it's fucking expensive :-(

  • Beatles

  • Beetles fans are crazy - they collect their albums, re buy Remarstered ones, get both of these box sets - it's cuckoo.

  • Why does everyone buy both?

  • I love that they come in shiny plastic sleeves!

  • i think i'll treat myself to one of those.

  • I have both the stereo and mono box-sets, and the one thing that bothers me (and it's a huge gripe) is that they made everybody wait so-long, and they spent all that time remastering, designing the box, and all that other stuff, only to slam it with compression at the mastering-stage. These would be phenomenal if they had only skipped the mastering-compression. That's why these are so-much-louder than the old discs.

    Hate to say it, but they blew it..... again...... Only took 22 years this time.

  • @gangtwanger The mono's have no compression on them. And even with the stereo's the compression isn't too bad.

  • does the mono version have the mini documentarys on it

  • my brother has the normal black one but i think i want this the only think stopping me would be i would like the booklets that come in it but i'll probobly get that

  • hi

    how much did you pay for yours?

  • Oh my gosh! you're so hilarious, you should be a professional comedian! Awesome video, keep them coming!

  • They do 33rpm it's just please please me which doesn't

  • Does 'Beatles for Sale' have the gatefold? Or is it just the white album and sgt peppers??

  • @KennethShuffleBottom

    Beatles for Sale has one as well...

  • Bill, that is great! Thank you for a good time spending! This Beatles box is actually incredible!)

  • im getting the stereo boxset for christmas

  • Mine was fake and it was terrible. I'm saddened.

  • Guys? Anyone? I want to buy The Beatles Box Set and i have neither the Stereo nor Mono. And I'm wondering which one should i buy and which one is better? Should I get Mono first or Stereo first. Thankyou.

  • @JokerFan252 I would say, get the Mono box and then buy yellow submarine, abbey road and let it be in stereo on the side. That way you end up with a collection closest to what the Beatles meant for you to hear. :)

  • ALSO, lots of videos I have come across say that the ones from online are fake. Is this true?? :S

  • Sooooo...question. In a music store where I live, this box set is about $300, and Amazon offers it for about $107 right now. Any idea why there is such a big difference? Thanks in adavance

  • Hello

    Compare the sound to Japanese vinyl. Japan released the mono lp's years ago on red vinyl. The sound is superior to any cd. Also the cd may say printed in japan. It doesn't prove anything. In Europe we got the same edition. But no obi's. In Jazz cd's manufacturers did the same. Clifford Brown on Mercury perfect example. Copied it all. But sorry for the Europeans it was pressed there. I must say I found the sound of the mono box disappointing. Flat compared to the vinyl. Nice video

  • Good video, but this is a box of shit cuz it's all compressed digital. If it were a box on vinyl i would say differently but...

    P.S. Sorry for the swearing.

  • My God, we Europeans just can't help laughing our heads off when watching you guys pathetic fat middle-aged American jerks worshiping your Beatles boxes as if you were dealing with some Jesus relics or something... Just the way you're SPEAKING with this annoying thick Yankee accent of yours is aggravating man... What will you do then after this? Watch the box and masturbate over it ?... Pathetitic American fanatics, you're frigntening people.

  • @meekintheweb "We" Europeans can't love The Beatles?

  • @meekintheweb Oh for God's sake, lay off the guy! You're entitled to dislike the Beatles, certainly, but you have absolutely NO right to demean the pleasure that people who bought the Mono (like I did) and Stereo sets got out of opening it. It *is* beautifully packaged, and believe it or not, it's actually nice to hear the music when it doesn't sound like it's got a great big layer of foam wrapped around it. Oh, and in case you hadn't noticed, the box-sets were sold here in the EU too! ;-)

  • Comment removed

  • @meekintheweb Not sure if trollin'

  • @meekintheweb The whiff of zenophobia!

  • @candelise No, you brainless moron... Just a little bit of intelligence... And by the way "zenophobia" is not a word, ignorant cunt ! I supposed you meant "Xenophobia"... Stupid and illiterate on top !!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha !

  • @meekintheweb The spelling mistake matched your ignorance, lack of understanding and unhealthy attitude. The tone of your language says it all. You are what you are.

  • i got my stereo box off eBay. brand new, but it had flaws like there was only one disc slit for the past masters so it was all scratched,and what disappointed me the most was that it didnt come with a white album poster ! :(

  • No hay nada mejor que conseguirlos en México ademas se consiguen muy facilmente y hasta rebajados.

  • lo mejor yo lo quiero pero en méxico cuesta mas de 4000 pesos talves despues

  • there was no let it be or yellow sub

  • I MUST have this one! Hmmmm.... how I'd like to have the japanese edition w/ OBI-strip.

  • Take care with this nife man!

  • what is better mono or stereo please answer

  • were u order at

  • New Tennisballs smell best!

  • Hello dverada.

    My beatles review of the mono box is now finished and you can see it now on youtube if you want to.

    Here is the name of the video:

    BEATLES REVIEW: An inside look at the mono box set: Mono Vs. Stereo!

  • How Much did the cost

  • Hi... what do you think of UNLIMITED Beatles mono Box Set ? So far 30,000 has been issued instead of original announcement of limited 10,000. What is the "collectible" value in the first 10,000 release now? and how the one can tell its the first 10,000 or whatever without any numbers on them? Total rip off market scam to me.

  • What are the difference between the following "The Beatles: Mono Box Set" ? Release Date:Sep 2009 Format: CD Record Label: EMI Music Distribution UPC: 4988006873612 and Release Date: Sep 2009 Format: CD Record Label: Capitol Records Number of Discs: 13 Discs UPC: 5099969945120
  • @urkingod all I can say is the second UPC is the one I have.

  • @dverada i'm getting one for x mas but i have a choice stereo or mono help me

  • @ericthemaster62 MONO :D Thats just me tho :P

  • @urkingod Capitol=USA market, EMI=Europe market

  • @urkingod i know why if ur still wondering

  • @urkingod one was made first and apple released about 10,000 of them.The other was was released later and apple released 30,000 more

  • watch out for fake China ones that has been going round like MAD.

  • what is the difference between the mono and the stereo

  • Wich website did you buy this on???

  • can you infringe on apples copyright by sowing there logo and the covers in a youtube vid?

  • All right, thanks.

  • Hello.

    Im 14 years old and i've been wondering, if 'the mono box set' was the right one for me.

    Now, I have been listened to The Beatles in 9 months and I don't think that 'the stereo box set' is the right box to buy, because I have the 1987 stereo cds and they are not very good.

    What is your opinion on my situation???

  • The mono box does not have all of the music the stereo box has. If you have the stereo box already, the mono box is a great companion to it from a historical standpoint. I doubt that anyone who owns the mono box will get rid of the stereo counterpart.

  • @dverada Yup. The stereo box has a lot more clarity if that's the right word. It sounds a lot more complete, but this Mono box just looks grand! I own the original vinyls passed down to me by my dad and those CDs right there are exact mini replicas.

  • I was going to get the mono box till i found out that 3 of the cds and the dvd of The Beatles are not included cause they the cds where in stereo or something so i am on with the stereo set. Yellow Submarine, Let It Be and Abbey Road along with the dvd is not included in the mono set.

  • @xxmag12 i love the stereo digipacks of the beatles it wows me everytime, you have to remember that 1987 is quite awhile ago, the stereo digipacks were remastered in 2009 with very high quality

  • actually the pictures in the booklet are in the stereo remasters, there in the packaging for past masters.

  • Wow!!! can you be a little more of a jerk in writing your comment, because maybe there are some people like myself who would like to find out more about the box set while i wait for it to come in the mail because i'm dying to see it?

    The ultimate in douche-bagg-ery.

  • It came out in September.

  • wheres abbey road?

  • Apparently, the Yellow Submarine soundtrack, Abbey Road and Let It Be don't have any true mono mixes, so they're not on in the mono set.

  • They were recorded, mixed, and produced in stereo. The White album was the last one mixed in stereo and mono.

  • You got it!

  • That`s why from Recording Let it Be in January 1969 onwards there weren`t made any mono mixes of Beatles Recordings any more except for the Get Back/Don`t Let me Down Single released in April of `69.

    But that makes the Mono Box so worthful and the stereo remaster of Abbey Road and Let it Be so mindblowing as well.

  • Comment removed

  • it does not have the numbers because the numbers are the american verison

  • oh and pretty much all of those pics u get with stereo !! i think stereo is more of a package to have !! but im gonna pick up the monos when i have the cash...then i can compare both....

  • "the ups van pulled up outside my house and then i was raped multiple times !" sit infront of the camera properly !!

  • if u like a little bit better sound quality, get mono. for all beatles albums, get stereo. but peronally, get both, even if 500 dollars is 2 much

  • I'm planning on buying the mono version of the box, but the fact that yellow submarine, abbey road and let it be are not included really makes me doubt. Does that mono box have enough space to fit the three albums if I buy separately? Maybe there's also some space for the Past Masters as well, is there?

    I really don't care much for the DVD, but I really like the sound of the mono songs.

  • @ramiroortega1991 you have to understand, Those 3 albums werent really mixed in Mono, So you will have to get them speretley

  • There is no "really" or "not really", my dear ramiroortega! After the Get Back Single in UK in April `69 there weren`t made and released any further mono mixes of the Beatles in the UK an the US.

    Because back then it didn`t seem to be up to date for the Band no more. See?!

  • you kicked the shit out of me in the beginig of the video, you came out of knowhere!!.

    cool video though. i want the stereo box set

  • very, very cool set. stereo = cool mono = extremely cool

    u should totally have both boxs, with all the goodies and what not in both boxs.

  • i could drool all over the mono box set

  • Mono Masters should be sold separately and made easily available. I would rather have this, than the original or remastered Past Masters.

  • ive heard both, and i like the steroeo because is like earing the songs for the first time, but the mono is texactly how they where mixed in the 60s, so i like switching stereo and mono from time to time

  • QUE LOCO FANTASMA

    RE GASPER

  • October 21: My Birthday

  • Where's the shipping peanuts or bubble wrapping for the boxset?????. seriously on a boxset like that???.

  • Believe it or not that's how it came. Usually Amazon packages their stuff much better than this. The merchandise was not damaged or dented, fortunately.

  • That wasn't very well protected in the amazon box, it was just loose by it self in there?

  • Fuck, I'm jealous.

  • Thank you!!! I smell the new stuff I get also! My sister thinks I'm insane but I am totally with you on that. Very nice video btw.

  • got both box sets. they both have their special qualities. if you could only get one. get the stereo.

  • its blunty

  • I received both Stereo and Mono box sets on 09/09/09 :)

  • I am so gonna buy this next week on payday to complete The Beatles Remastered Mono Box Set Limited Edition before they really disappear like thin air! Sure, the stereo versions kinda sound awful but are still okay for a reason, but I cannot wait to listen the early albums though when they sound good! I hope they release them in mono seperately in stores soon!

  • hi i love your videos and i like to know how you ordered the stereo and mono box sets...

    amazon?beatles store? tell me please

    5/5

  • Amazon has it in stock now. I ordered it at the end of Sept. when it was out of stock and they had a guarantee that you'd receive it. Mine came in about 4 weeks. I don't know about other places but Amazon has it for $240.50

  • Mono is better, in my opinion. The Beatles had spent weeks/months mastering their albums in mono. Only to have it spread in stereo. Very poorly might I add.

  • Mine should be arriving by the end of next week. I can't wait!!!

  • Awsome !!! I've been waiting!
