Less than 60 days after it's initial release there is no shortage of the Mono Box sets at retail. I just left Best Buy where they had eight sets (listed for $250). It's the less expensive Stereo Box that was nowhere to be found. Soon we can just pick up the USB with all the stereo on it (coming Dec. 8th).

This may be old news to everyone by now, but I thought I would share
anyway. Both the stereo and mono box sets have been heavily counterfeited. I held out on buying the mono box set until just last week. My set showed up today, and it was one of the many fake box sets. There are lots of ways to spot the fake ones, but the most obvious one from simply looking at an online photo is the line on the bottom back of the outer box on the mono set that says "Apple Cors Ltd" (instead of "Corps"). The sad thing is that there seems to be just as many fakes as there are real ones, so beware when purchasing one if you had been thinking about picking one up. |

There's a pretty informative amateur video on YouTube detailing many of the differences between a real and fake copy of the Beatles mono box set:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFKq10agsJI The price can also be a dead giveaway... A genuine mono box set retails close to $200. If you see a deeply discounted copy selling for around $120 or less, you're probably looking at a fake. |
