I broke down and ordered this for $105.98. Got tired of waiting.

  

My box is missing the mono disc and has 2 session 1 discs.

My replacement arrived with the correct discs. Be aware that this is an issue, I’ve read about other people getting sets with incorrect discs. So, in addition to being overpriced and having less content, the people who pack the boxes are putting whatever they want in there and there is no quality control.

My opinion:

 

They managed not to eff up the remix but I’m not sure how essential it is.

 

The session tracks are among the more interesting of all the box sets.

 

The mono disc has absolutely no reason to be included here, it’s already been released and the only difference is it sounds slightly brighter, which is not necessarily a good thing.

 

The EP is a throw-away.

 

I give it 3/5, which seems like a generous rating, given the absence of the Blu-ray.

 

The box has a pleasing appearance.

You could say the same thing about stereo revolver already having been released. I like that they added mono versions to this and Pepper’s. The mono versions are on YouTube now. The mono boxset isn’t and it’s very annoying.

Well, the stereo version is a remix, which is the point of the box. 

 

Streaming is a personal choice, it’s not something we default to.

I was given this for Christmas, which I am very grateful for. I haven’t had a chance to go through the book yet, but I’m loving the music.

Is there any mention in the book about Paul playing bass in She Said She Said ?
