I recently got the latest Beatles remasters here on iTunes, and even though they sound great at times, they sound bad at others. But these mono (and the stereo versions) offered here sound great throughout. And dare I say they sound “normal” to my ears. No studio wizardry to separate the instruments in post, no blaring guitar moments, no harsh lyrics pushed too high, just nice and balanced music.
If you are a serious Beatles fan, I highly recommend this set over any of the others. So far, it’s the best Beatles purchase I’ve made, and I really wish I’d have given it a shot first. Rubber Soul sounds fantastic here, by the way. I reviewed its latest remaster and was as harsh on it as its guitars. But now I’m happy.
Oh, and if you get this set and separate the albums by themselves, the album covers are already loaded and ready to go for each album. Enjoy!
Where are Let it Be and Magical Mystery Tour?

I’m an American and bought those as American releases. Why aren’t they here?

If apple now has exclusive right to the catalogue why can we get the original 5 albums with their original album covers to be able to purchase separately the biggest band ever and can’t purchase the first few records in their original format??

This box set is quite interesting because up until 1987 Beatles albums had completely different different track listing in the United States. As of this review I am 14 years soon going to be 15 in June and so I never grew up with any of these us releases (with the exception of the us version of magical mystery tour) I’ve always been familiar with the uk albums and track order for the uk albums however these us releases are very interesting as this was the way that my aunt (who is now in her 70s) heard The Beatles when she was around my age! I am aware that the majority of these songs on here are from the 2009 remasters so it would be nice to hear how these us mixes sounded like however I do a majority of The Beatles us releases on vinyl so it’s not a big deal. But if you want are someone who grew up with The Beatles us releases in the 1960s then I highly recommend you to buy this boxset it has both the mono and stereo mixes for most of the albums.
Searchability Song/Album Title Correction Instructions

By Truthful Reviewer 1
For each of the 277 items,right click on "Get Info". In the "Working Title" field there is a drop down menu. In the drop down menu, change the Working Title from the album's name to the song's name. Additional information fields include "Grouping" and "Album". When you first see the information fields, "Grouping" has the true album name and "Album" says "The U.S. Albums". If you want to change the searchability edit the true album name into the "Album" field and "The U.S. Album" into the "Grouping" field. Alternately, you can show the "Grouping" column in your iTunes Library and remember you will find the true album name in that column. Note: I do not work for Apple or have any other business associations. I am just a Beatles fan who noticed an approach to change a problem for other Beatles' fans.
Album Artwork distorted

I partially downloaded in case there’s anything happening —- and it DID!!!!
Album artwork is distorted- like almost all 4-5 tracks I download purchased are Yesterday snd Today’s cover-art even if it should be Something New!!
Fix it!! Or else I won’t buy the remainder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are there any rare versions of these songs in here?

By CraftyMom312
I can prove that there are songs that have the rare versions in here like: “Help” with James Bond intro in mono and stereo, “Michelle” with a longer fade-out in mono only (but also in stereo mix for Love Songs album in 1977), “I’m Looking Through You” with two false starts, and much more.
Have the concernes been fixed?

I've read a lot of the negative comments about labels and searchability. Have they been fixed?
