Hi,

i bought one of the box sets 3 weeks ago and on friday it arrived, i have 5 of the remaster albums which i then wanted to sell. but i immediately saw that some things were strange, then on the past masters i saw "the beatkes"...

i went to my computer and wrote the guy from the us (i live in germany) that i wanted my money back, if not he'll be thrown out of ebay, i got pictures of all the fake stuff. he said "ok, i'll give you the money back and you can keep the box" so i said "ok, i don't really want the box" but i kept it and now i got one more nonsense room-filler but at least he gave me all the money back.


these are the things i noticed...


- The box tray divider is cheap flimsy cardboard

- The slick glossy black paper lining on and in the box is peeling and
creased and crushed from poor quality binding.

- Printing quality on both the booklets and the discs is noticeably of poor
quality and faded, especially the DVD disc art.

- Printing errors on the backs of some of the album sleeves. For example,
on the back of REVOLVER, the Beatles names are misspelled, the track
listings on the backs of the "White Album" and "Past Masters" have mistakes.

- The DVD of the mini documentaries opens up with a logo in Chinese(!)

- Once opened, the box and the contents have a *very* strong odor of
turpentine or some similar printing ink chemical.


- The PAST MASTERS digipak doesn't have slots for both discs--instead you have to put both discs in one slot, increasing the chance of scratching them. The official version has two slots, one for each disc.

- The digipaks in the counterfeit set are made of much flimsier cardboard, very easily comes unglued. The officials ones are sturdy and well-made.
