Beatles Box Sets Update

The mono set will still be limited. Not sure to what number but they will not be around for long. Also won't be sold as individual albums - just the set.

Think I will buy a few and sell them on E Bay in a year. Is that worse than being an audio salesman and cutting down all the brands you don't sell on the Audiogon forum? Where is the integrity there?

Think I will buy around 5 sets.....

Maybe now that there will be more than the original 10,000 some people will get nervous and cancel their multi orders and the people who ordered late will get theirs earlier. Me included for the late orders BTW.

Here's what Amazon just sent me...

Hello from Amazon.com,

Our records indicate you purchased a Beatles Mono Box Set, and we wanted to update you on its availability.

This new information will not affect your pre-order--if you pre-ordered a mono box set, you will receive it.

The manufacturer has informed us that they will be producing additional mono box sets due to high demand. While the box set remains a limited-production item, it will not be capped at 10,000 copies for the U.S. market, as originally reported.

We will be getting more of the box sets in stock and will continue to update availability information on our FAQ page...

IMHO, The mono set will be limited to how many sets they can sell, which is probably a lot!!

I was sure the 10K number was phony when I first saw it, so I don't feel to ripped off. I suspect that they will do the controlled production to keep demand up like what happens as standard practice in the video game industry.

Actually there are quite a few boxed sets over the years that were not limited but then became collectible when they fell out of print. If you want a laugh check out what the beatles promo cds for the new set are going for on ebay right now.
