TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hey, now it's only going to cost you $339 to get the box set! If I'm being completely honest, I was just going to get it at the low price and flip it for $150ish to someone else who wanted a cheap one. I don't really care for The Beatles.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I will admit that I've thrifted about 5 of their albums over the years and once every couple years I might whip one out to listen to, just not my thing really.

noalarmplanet Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 It's bad enough when people's entitlement causes them to treat small labels or individual sellers like they're Amazon, but it's another thing when you think a company should eat a $300 loss for the privilege of having you as a customer. The customer is not always right. This is what people hate about service industry jobs. The phrase came from some book by the owner of Hilton hotels. Since I work in IT i have a saying on my desk that says "Anyone who thinks the customer is always right has never worked in tech support".

Dicky Greenleaf Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Amoeba.com has this up for a preorder and they have their monthly 15% off promotion running. List for $380 with the 15% off it comes to $323 (free shipping). 15% off code is "aug1514" http://www.amoeba.com/the-beatles-in-mono-vinyl-box-set-180-gram-vinyl-lp-the-beatles/albums/3349129/ eshame and itsgoodtobefree 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 That's a good deal... I actually just ordered 9 of the albums I wanted from Amoeba (all of them minus White Album, which I already have from 1981, and the singles collection, which I also already have as 45s). Got them for $177 shipped. Don't care about or have room for another box and Beatles book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markok Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Im just saying that if you already have the stereo box, that mono box isnt as half interesting to look at via some youtube video - visually the records look almost exactly the same. Its not like that if this one is all analog, the records suddenly look also better (Im sure for some people it will) - they put as much effort into the stereo box as to the mono.

filthyrich Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 There are many folks obsessed with authentic packaging of these titles (the size of the outer flaps, color of the labels, type of inner sleeves) who will definitely disagree with you.

filthyrich Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I hope to never meet one of these people in person. Eh, maybe so, but their obsessiveness is the main reason Universal is doing this set right, with the original masters and a 100% analog transfer start-to-finish. Most labels these days are happy to churn out shitty digital transfers that basically transfer CD data over to vinyl and charge naive customers $30 for the privilege. The only way that changes is when people complain to the labels... Loudly. And support the releases that do it right.

iron666monkey Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 If you use popmarket10 you get an additional 10% off. The claim is this is limited edition, sorry if this has been answered, but does anyone know how limited it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
