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.
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
