A few years ago I bought the Beatles Box set off of EBAY for $80 when the list price was $250. It turned out to be a Chinese copy. The sound is o.k., but as I was reading the liner notes, of the "Revolver" album, George Harrison was spelled "Harrisun". The cd's appear to be silver originals and not CDR's. The set has turned into a curiosity amongst my musically inclined friends. The outer box has gradually fallen apart, but overall the counterfeit is extremely well done. You get what you pay for I guess.
JVC XRCD 24 from Hong Kong
I've always wanted the XRCD release of Ella fitzgerald "Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie". It's hard to find at a reasonable price. On Ebay Stairsmasters has it for the mid-teens. They have several copies available. The ad says they are factory sealed, brand new from Japan. I'm always wary of getting a copy and not the original. But at a reasonable price with a money back offer I bought it. It just arrived and the sound is fine. Does anyone know about this XRCD source? Are they trustworthy? Thanks.
