Found The Beatles in Mono CD Boxset for $20! But...

[@ianz9916]

It was an absolute bargain even with some of the discs missing. I have an original set and this one is clearly identical and 100% genuine. A lot of idiots commenting that it's fake and you've been scammed. You haven't, most likely someone's put the discs in a case or a machine and forgot to return them to the box. You could sell each individual disc for as much as you paid for the box, maybe more, but you could just play them and enjoy what you've got.

[@franktaconelli9095]

the holy grail…The Beatles & their production team intended us to hear their work up to the white album in mono…Paul, George H, plus recording engineers Geoff Emerick, & Ken Scott all went on record stating that

[@twohandsandaradio]

But... it's $20. Yep. It's worth it.

[@fwnfaa]

Why didnt you check the box before buying????

[@finch45lear]

This box is beautifully done. The packaging of the mini LPs is outstanding. The sound is just excellent. The Japanese do box sets right. Screw the fake counterfeits.

[@tomgray6093]

Too good to be true! If you want, I could give you copies of the discs that are missing.

[@cymbaldrum]

You got all the other cds for $20 so I would have to say for the price of one cd you got a good deal!

[@tomkent4656]

You bought it without checking the contents?

[@MrRETEROROB]

the missing CD's are a bummer, especially the White Album because finding this in Mono is so hard. you do have Sgt. Pepper and other albums so I think you made out okay.

[@ts214121]

I have the White Album from the CD Beatles 2009 mono box set from Ebay. I am trying to determine if it is a non-fake. The packaging looks great and it has the proper matrix numbers on the bottom sides of the CDs. It has the short Helter Skelter and the Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da without the hand clap. I heard with some of the fakes the music for Disc 1 is on Disc 2, haha, or the music is in stereo. I can't tell much of a difference between I'm So Tired between the 1987 stereo CD and my mono one.

[@johnaston3983]

I should think you would be REALLY happy for $20 dollars. Most were there and if someone offered you all those mono CDs plus the 2 stereo CDs you would be very happy. I think you have a original copy complete with the spiderwrap lines from the shop

[@louisbronzino]

If you own the white album box set it comes with mono version

[@InfidelNewton_1775]

On Blu-ray only

[@louisbronzino]

Walmart has blu ray dvd cd players brand new internet box sealed for 89.00 I just got one my blu ray died

[@InfidelNewton_1775]

@@louisbronzino I wish they would have put the mono Moises onto their own two separate discs.

[@RURALELECTRICBAND]

u spent 89 dollars for dvd cd player which you could spent $3 or $ 4 in any shit pawn shop

[@essexboy5520]

Still worth the money you paid.👍

[@beatlefancraig67]

No wonder it was $20??... half of the c.d's are missing! DUHHH!!! The golden rule is... ALWAYS CHECK BEFORE YOU BUY!!!!

[@blackjuju5154]

Thanks for stating the obvious. Ddduuuhhh. You really are far superior than us all Almighty Beatles fan

[@beatlefancraig67]

It always pays to really check before you buy??

[@billstill1794]

lol, you DON'T have all the albums if the CDs are missing in some! When collecting record albums that always means the records or the discs so you have several units with covers only.

[@radiant_entertainment]

@@billstill1794 I meant the covers lol

[@nankypooh655]

Well, the bad news is, as far as I know none of the mono versions are available separately, so you might have some trouble tacking down the missing C.D.s (Best of luck in finding those) But I do think it's cool that you were able to pay only $20..00, PLUS you got Abbey Road and Let It Be throw in for compensation. Fun fact: Abbey Road and Let It Be WERE actually available in mono, but they were made especially the island countries of The South Pacific, where many people were so poor that they didn't have stereophonic record players. However, these were fake mono. This was known as "Fold Over" mono where you take a stereo mix, and rechannel it so everything comes out of one speaker. I've never owned one of these albums, not ever heard one, so I can't comment on the sound quality, but they existed at one time. Again, best of luck finding the missing mono versions from your collection, because they are quite unique.

[@MetFan37]

"Fold over" simply means that the two channels were combined into one...this would not be a "dedicated" mono mix, but technically IS mono because of all the information being on one track.

[@Mark-qz2nu]

It's one of the fake sets

[@millinchip2]

No its a genuine box but with the CDs missing.

[@jamesmanon3000]

Keep this one I'm sure you will find the cd's.

[@lenwennerberg1631]

So you bought a box set worth hundreds of dollars for only $20 and a few of the discs are MISSING? Get out ?!?!

[@dlux8735]

Sorry Bro, Bootleg fake total drag, at least you have some and the box, not bad for 20 bucks

[@millinchip2]

No its a genuine box but with the CDs missing.

[@wgw808]

$20! In mono, missing stuff. You got taken, unless your deaf in one ear or plan on listening to them n a elevator.

Aren’t you the guy who once bought a used car without any wheels on it?

[@Vince_Tasciotti]

Used and abused and resold in second hand store

[@PeKe999]

If things look to good to be true, mostly it isn't true. I don't know if you want to have a fake set just to see one, but if you did want an original ... there are a lot of videos on KZbin with warnings. Tru cdjapan to find the missing ones. Good luchmk and take care.

[@ianz9916]

That looks 100% original. Just a few discs missing. Everything that is there looks genuine. The fakes rarely bother with the replica inners and use plastic baggies instead and the Apple on the box is exactly as it should be which is usually where the fakes fall down.
