De Agostini - 'The Beatles Vinyl Collection' mail order set via subscription

Update, just this minute checked my account, notebook despatched the 16th

 

Still nothing showing for me since 3rd Jan [checking regularly now in case they keep charging me!) I’ve just sent them a message about that and a copy of corrected Hard Days Night. I only have two faulty copies of that unlike @Jimbo Jobson who has eight...!

 

I chased mine yesterday and got this reply:

 

Most recent two copies are corrected. Previous 6 are the old ones.

I need a third case just for Hard Days Night.

 

A rare corrected Deagostini AHDN is a truly sought after item! I thought it was a myth!

 

my replacement AHDN came and its fixed, yay

 

So what happens to them now? I think you are challenging the assertion that you can never have too many Beatles records!

 

Hmmm... @Gibson67 has received (or about to) both of them.

I’m sure I’ll get the same response. I’ve also asked for a corrected AHDN and offered to return the previous replacement. I kept referring to it as “issue 10” in my email as that seems to be their language when you look at the subscription screens.

 

Shame it wasn’t the White Album!!!. 8 of those would make a tidy sum!.

 

Just had the same response. Doesn't ring true really, does it. At least they're sending me a corrected copy of Hard Days Night (only my third).

 

They've arrived...

Just waiting on the corrected AHDN now...

 

Receive my notepad and power bank today.

This really is the end of the journey. Fun while it lasted!

 

Just had the craziest delivery from De Agostini. A massive box containing another copy of Past Masters and 1967-1969, another backpack, mug, and turntable mat and my notebook and phone charger.

Just the corrected AHDN to come (to go with my other 4 uncorrected copies).

 

Ditto. And ditto on a AHDN too.

 

I wouldn’t bank on it. Looked what just happened to @grimble !!

 

Did you ask for any of them?

 

None of them. I was due the notebook and charger.

 

Ok so I just checked my online account and on the 23rd I was re-issued the following....

Issue 10
Issue 22
Issue 23
Issue 10
Issue 22
Issue 23
2nd storage box

Good grief

 

Told you!

I’ve just checked and on 23rd Jan I have been sent “BEATLES RECORD 10”. Which is what I’m expecting. Nothing more.

 

You could open the most useless record shop in history.

Nothing but copies of A Hard Day’s Night, and most of them faulty.

 

I have been checking back recently on Discogs, to see if the 'corrected' AHDN has been added - looks not. I wondered how it would be possible to add it; perhaps title it 10A in the series?

But now I see it's been released in Spain I wonder if anyone reading might have this because according to the information on the Discogs database, the a-side for that and the original with the clipped intro, have the same matrix number. I believe that some way back in the thread, it was stated that the recut has either a letter or number added to it to distinguish which is which. I'm sure some kind person could clarify this here from their copy as mine has not yet arrived.

The Beatles - A Hard Days Night
The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night

Of course, the question now is that is this a case of someone just making a mistake and/or copying pasting the info over from the first MPO cut of it? Surely they aren't selling the 'faulty' ones in Spain are they??

 

Power bank and notebook arrived finally so I’m all complete.

 

Emails Deagostini immediately for that corrected copy of the Blue album!

 

I note that MPO were given the job of pressing the recent single anniversary copy of Pepper AND the pic disc.

 

Maybe they realised I will need a 3rd storage box for all these additional records they are sending me
