In MOST cases...buying a BOX SET is a great deal.....NOT in this case....you'd be further ahead to buy the individual British import cd's on amazon and also the 2 past masters...and have money left over....if you REALLY want the rare stuff....invest in the 3 anthology 2cd sets and the BBC set...and the LET IT BE NAKED....you'll pretty much have it all...I have been a Beatles collector and fan since 1963...and this is what I did.

First off, I love the Beatles. I have a bunch of their actual ablums (LPs), and some tapes. I was thinking about upgrading my collection to CD, so I looked for a comprehensive box set, thinking I could get a better deal than buying each of their CDs individually.
This, however, is not the case - I added up all of the Beatles' CDs individually, and came up with $231.19, including Past Masters I & II (including $15.85 for standard shipping/handling). This collection costs over $300.
Maybe I am missing something, but I see no reason to buy this set.

This review is from: The Beatles Multiselection Box Set (Audio CD)
What you get are the 12 original U.K. Beatles albums (13 discs, because The Beatles a.k.a. White Album is a double set), plus both volumes of Past Masters, which fill in all the songs that did not make the albums. If you are a completist, this is definitely for you! You can hear the Fab Four from their days as the Liverpool Lads who conquered America, right up to the rooftop sessions at Abbey Road. There is a lot of good music here, some mischief, and a few mis-steps, but it's both history and legend, and it's all together now!

THE OMNIBUS OF A LIFETIME!, September 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Beethoven Edition, Volumes 1 to 20 (Audio CD)
Expensive? Yes, but worth more than its weight in gold. Here's your chance to own the ENTIRE Beethoven oeuvre with an eclectic and remarkeable range of recordings. Sure, some may argue that not all the finest artists are represented (impossible anyway) but what you get will last a lifetime and then some. You get it all, I mean ALL -- from obscure and rare Leiders to the complete Karajan cycle of symponies, from the first studio recording of the maestro to elegant secular vocal works, from two complete versions of his opera, fidelio to the gamut of concertos, sonatas & quartets -- you simply can not dry up this well of soul-enhancing music. 87 cds in all! (not 8) Beethoven was the greatest and this is the greatest compiliation of his works. Miss this and you miss an EVENT. A beautifully bound book and shelving unit plus a myriad of essays from musicologists is included. So if you ain't got the dough, you best save up and you'll have something substantial to pass...

This is a superb collection! It contains first-class performances by first-class artists of the complete works of Beethoven. That's a tall order, but it's fulfilled. CD's appear to lend themselves to complete editions, such as this. There is also a complete Mozart and a complete J. S. Bach.
One may argue that some of the performances may not be the best performance of that particular work, but even conceding that (which I'm not necessarily prepared to do), there is no arguing with the consistently high quality throughout this vast, complete collection of Beethoven's compositions. Further, knowing that it's all here, well-packaged, well-organized, and that you have missed nothing, is quite a valuable consideration. You don't have to buy your fourth copy of the fifth symphony because it also contains the only available recording of something you are missing.
If one intends to build a significant music library, this is a major building block.

This review is from: Complete Beethoven Edition, Volumes 1 to 20 (Audio CD)
While I don't own this collection, I have access to it through a library. At 87 CDs, it's hard to know where to start. I started at the beginning, and have been enjoying it immensely. I started by going through the nine symphonies, all conducted by Herbert von Karajan. Now, I've heard many versions of the nine symphonies, and I've heard some pretty crappy renditions. This isn't one of them. This is a top-quality recording of Beethoven's greatest legacy.
I have to admit listening to the next few volumes somewhat absentmindedly, not giving serious attention to it until I got to the 32 piano sonatas, which are arguably the heart of the collection. As a pianist myself, I've chugged through plenty of these sonatas, and I've listened to dozens of versions of some of them. The only complete edition I've listened to is the Arthur Schnabel edition. I have to say that the Kempff edition is at least as good. This is his third recording of the Cycle (although the first, lost... Read more

Who could have ever thought it would have been possible? 09/09/09 has become a red-letter date in the history of Beatle-dom. It could be the repetitive nature of the phrase "Number Nine, Number Nine" featured in the track "Revolution 9" from "The White Album". Or, even the bit of dialogue "dial 9-9-9" from the 1965 motion picture "Help!" However, 09/09/09 has become important for a far better reason.
After more than 22 years of having The Beatles' albums on CD, we are finally treated to the definitive box set of Beatles music. This time, the folks at EMI and Apple finally got things right for a change. While having Beatles CDs is a thrill, it is now even more-so with this brilliant audio collection. For the very first time, their entire recorded output has been remastered for the 21st century, complete with unique liner notes and special digipak-packaging to boot. With the exception of the "Past Masters" set, each disc also contains a brief mini-documentary about that... Read more

I was disappointed with the 1987 CDs, so I put my Mobile Fidelity albums (state of the art record albums back then, from the master tapes) onto CD around 1992 and have been listening to those since. I long since sold my 1987 CDs. Now I can get rid of those Mobile Fidelity CDs because the sound quality of these remastered CDs exceeds even them.
For those 1987 CDs the first four albums were in mono. I can sort of understand that for the first two, with their distinct, wide 2-track separation. But the second two had four-track and sounded great in stereo. At any rate, I preferred all four in stereo. So went to extreme measures to get it, in quality. Now those are all here in glorious stereo in this set.
I was afraid that they would narrow the separation on the first two albums. Fortunately they did not. If you want to listen to those two with headphones, you may be disappointed with the sound -- get the mono, but listening to them through speakers, several feet... Read more

As many of you, I am a huge Beatles fan. To me they are simply the best thing that ever happened to 20th century music. Their songs echo everywhere we go in the works of countless bands they influenced. And they are still beautiful after all these years.
So it was with a lot of anticipation that I bought this stereo set. And as I opened it, I must say I was overwhelmed with all the care, love and effort put by EMI in making this set the Beatles celebration they deserve.
ABOUT THE BOX ITSELF The whole package comes in a beautifully crafted box with the Beatles logo. Opening it, I found the most beautiful set of CDs. Each one in a digipack reproducing the original artwork. Those digipack editions are very fragile because basically it is all paper. So I do recommend the purchase of this stereo box - so the CDs are kept safe.
The digipacks come with photos and the artwork of each disc is simply gorgeous.
