Beates Mono- CD Box Set -Japanese pressing / issue

....the prices are all over the place on this box set and the possibiliy of fake / counterfeit ones poping up have got me doing some research. I have the opportunity to purchase the Beatles CD Mono-Box Set - but it is the Japanese pressing....any isues with this ???....should I only be looking for and buying the actual EMI issues ???? I looked on Amazon but the ones who are offering the Box Set are a little scary......Elusive Disc has the Japanese issues. Your thoughts

Can't say about the Japanese edition, but the EMI version I bought off Amazon for a song (they had a sale going shortly after it was issued) is superb. Totally worth it.

Hello Mr.FFisher - how did you know when you were ordering from / on Amazon that the box set you were buying was EMI issued ?????

Sold and delivered by Amazon, copyright EMI UK, printed in Japan. Never saw a Japanese home edition up there, but I did buy it a few years ago so don't know what might be there now.

Be VERY careful. I'm in the process right now of returning an eBay purchase of a counterfeit. Since I got burned, I have been researching this. There is a lot of wacky info out there, but my understanding is that all of the authentic 2009 release Beatles Mono CD sets were made in Japan. I would trust Elusive Disc.
