    Wow, that's bad. I have the Russian Antrop White Album and Hey Jude copies, only bought them as novelty items, got them cheap at Chicago Beatlefest years ago. Shockingly, they don't sound that bad at all, even though they're both probably CD-sourced. But yeah, definitely NOT go-to copies to listen to. They just look nice in the library, that's all.

    Usually, I don't enjoy the reissue as much - EQ is usually not matched to the original. That's what made this special. This is a rarity in the form of reissues matching (dare I say, besting the originals). Either its smiley EQ - or compression or whatever. Maybe we should leave well enough alone, match the cutting notes, mastering choices, etc - and reissue that. There. Rant over.

    Jimmy Mac Zooropa... better by design

    Even though I have a mono box set to play, I figured I’d pick up these shrink wrapped variations just because of the stickers just to collect....I couldn’t beat the price (approx $20 and $27 US)

    Did you receive the box set? Did it meet your expectations (original, not fake etc) ?

    Have you received it? I am thinking about ordering from the same seller (KMFDM23 (Russia)) so any recent experience with the seller for the same item would be helpful. Thanks.

    I did. Everything was in perfect condition and sealed. From what i’ve read about the box, there is nothing that makes me me suspect they are not original, although i haven’t been able to compare with other, known-original records. I haven’t yet played them all, but PPM, TWA, RS and Revolver all sound great.

    Yeah, I did. Unfortunately, the booklet of Magical Mystery Tour is completely torn off the inner cover - not the seller's fault. We try to solve this, so that I get a new, undamaged cover and I return the damaged one; I hope this goes well.

    Beside that, great packaging and really great communication with this seller. I playtested the White Album for a short while, and it sounds great. From what I've read and seen for myself, I have no reason to believe this is a fake product.

    My first 2 copies of MMT mono had that booklet issue... .In the box, I think it's stored on it's spine, from new, so they must know it has potential to rip...

    Thanks. It seems KMFDM23 deserves the excellent reputation.

    I had the same problem with one or two of the pages coming lose. I had ordered my MMT from Amazon but I kept it sealed for a couple of years. I just recently dicided to open it and discovered the booklet middle pages unattached.

    I'm sure many people still have their old sales receipts deep in their email inboxes...

    i would never claim there are counterfeit box sets and LPs if no one including me has seen them, that is NOT smart

    fmfxray373 Capitol LPs in the 70s were pretty good.

    I just need PPM, Help! and AHDN to complete my mono collection.

    Discogs here I come. It is not like we are talking about a really serious issue.
