Biography

"The story began in Harold Macmillan’s “never had it so good” ’50s Britain. It should be fiction: four teenagers with no more than eight O’Levels between them, running and biking and busing and busking all over Liverpool in search of new chords and old guitars and half-decent drum kit and any gig at all.
They were determined to amount to something – in George’s words “we just had this amazing inner… Read more in Amazon's The Beatles Store

3.0 out of 5 stars Love it or Hate it, August 23, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Beatles, CD box set with wood case (Audio CD)
There has always been debates about the sonic differences between Toshibas release and the rest of the worlds. I really do not think Toshibas sounds any different but I can assure you they do sound at least as good. The Wood Box is a Joke. Concentrate on getting the discs & 2 booklets. I was lucky to receive this as a gift. It is nice to have these just for the reaction Beatle fans have. I think everyone would be better served by a REMIX of the original recordings. But George Martin probably would be reluctant and I can see why. If all of the Band was alive and well and could participate he would probably be happy to do so. But I also see why he would be happy to leave the versions that were so great as they were when released just as they are. Hope I made some sense. Do not spend over $200 for this or you will probably feel ripped off in my opinion.

This review is from: The Beatles, CD box set with wood case (Audio CD)
What kind of a gimmick is this? These are the 1980's versions of the Beatles CDs. I bought this set years ago for about a third of the price listed here. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this price! There is no reason for the price of this box set to appreciate. As another reviewer says, the 2009 remasters have made this box set obsolete. Compared with the new CDs, the sound on this set is like throwing a couple of sheets over your speakers. And the box is just normal wood--not even Norwegian! I can't believe this is Amazon! Buy the new remastered box set. There is no more purpose for this set other than artifact or museum piece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice item to own if you like collectibles and have some disposable cash., August 16, 2010

This review is from: The Beatles, CD box set with wood case (Audio CD)
Okay, so everyone wants to bash this set because it contains the original 1987 versions of the beatles' catalog and not the spiffy 2009 remasters. I used to own this set myself, but I sold it a month before the remasters came out to help finance the mono box and the individual stereo releases. If I could have justified keeping it, I would have. It's a beautiful display piece with the black lacquer roll top box, and if you're a Beatles collector it's something you might want to pick up. Yes, the used CD bins are full of the individual 1987 CDs, but this will ultimately be a true collectors item. Anyway, the original CDs sounded pretty good....yes, the new ones do sound better on the whole with better separation and more overall range, but these really aren't so bad.
