Never has one average album received such inordinately reverential treatment. I Loved your video and yes I’ve always loved this album. Here’s hoping a genuinely great album like “Walls and Bridges” gets as much love. Thanks again, this was riveting.
Yeah maybe Pete, Im thinking now that this album is less average than I had previously thought. Im loving it and not really any bad tracks on it and some very good ones that could have fitted well onto Imagine or Walls & bridges. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks from this comment. I dont really ant to encourage another really expensive blow out box like this for Walls & Bridges but if they do as well with the remix and all the extra music it'll be brilliant. Hope we dont have to wait too long for it though.
Beatley My Friend, this is a fantastic video review, Mrs. Beatley is so special for doing this for you,bless her,this is a piece of mastered art, I know John would love this Sean, fabulous, My Friend You are Special, thank you for this video , I did receive my 6cd, 2bluray boxset have to listen to it, a masterpiece, My Friend is everything okay? Beatley Takecare, Besafe, Blessyou My Friend, this super deluxe box is so perfect,art, quality beyond all, Steve
Thanks very much Steve, glad you enjoyed the video. yes a fantastic gift from Mrs Beatley which blew me away. I hope you are enjoying your 6CD Deluxe box set my friend . I think it's fantastic
Mrs. Beatley Tone is the greatest, no doubt about that ! So happy for you Tone, enjoyed your unboxing. I know you are one that will definitely appreciate what Sean has put into this cube and over time will delve into all the little secrets as they unfold. Take care and enjoy.
She really is Sharon. An amazing surprise and an amazing piece of art. Glad you enjoyed the unboxing video - it took a while 🙂 Thanks for your kind words
Hi Tone & wow what a surprise from your good lady & that's a present to remember but on a serious note I hope you both are well as health & family comes before anything.... Never my favourite Lennon album this but hearing the new mixes online the tracks have at last after 50 odd years gotten some life in them & sound much more meaty! Wishing you both all the best.
I love the fact that Mrs. The Beatles town surprise you with it I think she probably knew that you wanted it thank you Mrs. Beatles con for sending it to Mr. beetle town very much you’re a great supporter of the Beatles music through your husband thank you so much Mrs. Beatles town I hope both of you will have an awesome day and rock out to the mind games music and everything that’s in the cube.
What a wonderful gift from Mrs Beatley Tone, you can really tell your excitement and amazement at receiving this.wonderful beautiful surprise gift. The unboxing was amazing and I got really excited too as you revealed each box within a box. It is truly a work of art and I hope you managed to get it all back in the cube okay? I did get the double CD version on Friday and I was totally blown away by the quality of John's voice and the clarity of all the instruments on each track. This has been one of the best remixes so far in the Beatles and solo Beatles collections. I hope this standard continues in future releases. I do love the outtakes too and I always love the progression from start to finish of the music. Only one thing is I can't get the hidden tracks to play either on my Blu-ray player or CD player. So good job I have got the Un Cut CD which includes I Am The Greatest which I really like and have had two versions on a 12 inch single for years but been unable to play it. Thank you once again for a marvellous unboxing the boxing, well I know it is the cube but I wanted to say it that way as it seemed funny at the time 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Yes Maurice a really wonderful gift that I wasnt expecting to get and one that blew me away. Glad you enjoyed the unboxing video (took me ages to film lol) and yes I have worked out how it all fits back together although I havent decided yet which bits to keep in the cube and which bits to display elsewhere. Glad you are enjoying your 2 CD version and agree that the remix is outstanding and one of the best we've ever had. I have heard other people who have done reviews that the hidden tracks only reveal themselves on certain brands of CD players (Sony being one of them that successfully shows them) . I couldnt see them in my Naim CD player but I had no problem with the Blu-Rays in my Panasonic BR player. I can see this is going to be frustrating for you and others that dont have the blu-rays. I will try and speak to someone and find out of there is a workaround
Mate, that is awesome. What a fantastic and generous surprise, I can totally understand you being a tad emotional. Of course you know, you’re going to have to keep her now - must be why it’s called a danger box 😂 But seriously Tone, hope you get enormous joy exploring every inch of the box and it’s content.
Hi Tone. Thank you for the tour. You have a marvellous wife to gift you such an amazing present. Hope that you enjoy it enormously. I'm working my way through the 6 CD version at the moment. It is nice to be able to experience the album from so many different perspectives. You have even more with the vinyl and its visual interpretations. Keep up the good work.
I am enjoying the set. The Elemental Mixes are tremendous. A completely different feel with stripped back arrangement. Now, if Mrs Beatley Tone ordered two cubes by mistake and is unsure what to do, I may be able to help out! 😀
Hello Mr. Beatley Tone That was very sweet of your wife to have given you this big fat cube Even though I cannot see, I can tell that it is very beautiful I am also very impressed by everything that is inside the box and the fact that everything is stored in a Yoko Ono danger box is very neat It is also very cool that you get all the music on vinyl as well as the CD box set Plus, I can imagine that the maps of Liverpool and Tokyo look very beautiful as well Unfortunately, this cube is something that I could never afford However, I am very happy for people like you who were able to get it I know that you are going to enjoy it, and I know that you will take really good care of it As for me, I am very happy with my regular deluxe box set and I love it Anyways, thank you very much for showing us this big fat cute I will catch you on the next video and I send my blessings to you and your wife
Hi Angie, yes an amazing surprise from my wife and an amazing piece of art that I never thought I would own. Yes having the vinyl is a real bonus too, although I would have liked them to issue a vinyl only box so everyone who likes vinyl could get the whole thing on records. Maybe that will happen later. I hope so. I'm not sure I knew that you were unsighted before and of course I send my best wishes and glad you are able to enjoy the channel despite of this. I think I have 3 unsighted 'viewers' as subscribers. I am glad you are enjoying the deluxe box set - it is brilliant.
Happy for you love your channel you have made me a bigger and more interested Beatles fan along with other Beatle youtubers but you are my favourite your down to earth reviews resonate with me.Keep up good work and best wishes to you and Mrs Beatley Tone .Cheers.
Thanks very much for your really kind message, Im glad you enjoy the channel and I feel very happy that you feel that you have become a bigger fan because of watching it. Thank you
Hi Tone, Happy 1st anniversary of your retirement. There is definitely an adjustment period after retiring. Congratulations on the cube, very, very thoughtful and loving of Mrs. Beatley Tone.
Wow!! Amazing! That is SOME gift!!! Dear Mrs Beatley Tone... Will you marry me!? Ha ha ha! Fantastic Tone - i am jealous - that is a serious piece of kit. The detail in the box is incredible isn't it - that map is ginormous - careful with that now....It's so great you've got that and the Macca singles box! Great guys deserve great things. Great video! Keep up the good work man!
She said 'ok then' 😂 I know what an amazing gift, blew me clean away it did. The maps are bigger than me haha. Thanks very much mate, nice words, appreciate them. Speak soon Kier.
Mrs. Beatles tone is the greatest ever and I love the fact that she supports your beetle hardness. Since both of us are big Beatles heads anyway. Now I’m gonna have to buy the music of mind games.
Tone, good on Mrs. Tone, that's a right fantastic gift! I am glad you have one and your review makes me wish I had the $ to get one. Oh well, not having it only gives me something to aspire to! Best wishes mate!
Yes an amazing gift Richard, blew my socks clean off. Thanks very much for this nice comment and I have to say I wouldn't have spent that amount of money on this myself but to get it as a gift was amazing and delighted that I have it .
Hiya Tone, just watched this video, ,wow, you have done a fantastic job, very detailed video and you do it with such passion and emotion, really enjoyed this one mate, you are very lucky,say hello to Mrs Tone from me and Sue, thank you so much for sharing this with us all, I things are okay with you buddy, just done my video on the mind games double vinyl album and gave you a couple of shout outs, cheers mate, take care, Dave 😊
Hi Dave Thanks very much mate , glad you liked the video - it took me hours lol but glad you enjoyed it. Very lucky as you say, totally unexpected. The missus always reads the posts on my videos so she will see your kind regards. I havent got to your video yet as gearing up for the footy but will have a watch later - thanks in advance for the shout outs and much love to you and Sue mate.
Hi Tone very glad you received it and hope you really enjoy it. I got my copy of the 6CD and BluRay set yesterday, and then got up in the night to shine the UV torch on it & see the hidden items on the packaging - how sad am I?!! All the best
Thanks very much Richard. Hope you are enjoying the Deluxe box set - I think it's brilliant . Haha re the uv torch, you should have seen me checking every page of the book looking for clues with my torch. If you're sad, I'm sadder haha!
How wonderful! I love how this was a complete surprise to you. Your wife knows you well. Well done! I’m a geek too, but I knew I ordered this danger box as well. However I’m in California and it’s coming this Tuesday. I also went to my local record store and got the 2LP, 2CD unit from them on July 12th. I also listened to this entirely on Apple Music. What an incredible focus the Lennon camp are with these releases. I love how you experience the evolution of each track. It’s like a story unfolding and you are along the journey to experience it. Love seeing these unboxings. Keep it up the good work.
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the unboxing video. Hope you enjoy the cube when it arrives on Tuesday but great that you have got the music to keep you going until then. I also really love the evolution mixes. They are my second favourite CD after the remix. An amazing effort from the Lennon Estate. Lets hope there's lots more of this to come down the line
Hi BT. A fabulous gift from Mrs BT and delighted you have one. My 2 cd version due to arrive today and looking forward to hearing it this evening. Enjoy The Cube, Tone.
my goodnesss Tone. new life has been breathed into Mind Games. so clean sounding and its as if John is in the room...the clarity on the vocal and instrumentation is sensational. wow. sounds like it was recorded recently rather than 1973. blown away BT.
Ohh how lovely. What an amazing gift to receive from Mrs Tone. I got my 6CD set today from HMV but haven't had a chance to play it yet. Enjoy your box set, Tone. 👍
Wow! She must love you very much! Congrats mate! Did the postie realize what he was delivering? Bet he would be jealous if he knew! Enjoy mate. Literally a “work of art’! Regardless of the classic music. Moving house and location but will be back on soon to bore you later. If I survive!
Good luck with the move, hope everything goes to plan and you are happy in your new home. Mrs BT said the postie delivered it using a trolly it is that heavy, although I didnt actually see it arrive
Hi Beatley Tone. Firstly, let me say that I love your channel. It was my birthday yesterday (July the 12th). Whilst i awaited my Deluxe Edition to arrive from Amazon my lovely wife outdid herself. She completely knocked me for six by gifting me the Super Deluxe cube set. Such an amazing gift from such and amazing woman.
Odd why Yoko is featured on the bonus artwork considering it's Lennon who is walking away from her on the cover and he was with May at this stage. I wonder if the Walls and Bridges box will have pictures of May? I like Yoko but not sure about the revisionism.
Actually he didnt leave the Dakota until after Mind Games was released. You can hear her in the control room on all the evolution mixes. They were on the verge of temporarily breaking up but the actual break was after the album was completed
An amazing gift - I feel very lucky. Ive only actually seen 1 person (as not a commercial company channel) receive this cube from the estate - Andrew Dixon and he deserves it in my opinion for the work he does on his channel
I did check out the mind games outtake which sounds really good and I love the evolution documentary on meet city that’s what I checked out yesterday and I haven’t heard much from the mind games box set but I will definitely check that out.
Finally opted for the 2 disc version on cd. The album cd itself has 90 tracks from track 13 to 90 there all silent and 24 seconds long LOL. This i found out ripping the album to my pc for the car.
Yeah i mentioned this weird thing in my review vid of the 6 cd box set. Not sure why this is maybe its one of these games that sean was talkibg about that will unravel in time but i have now idea how
Hi Beats....I love your stain glass windows in the kitchen!!! You both have a very nice home...What a great surprise from Mrs. Beats...you owe her big time...a keeper indeed....thx for showing us the entire contents as you will be busy for some time. Do you plan on displaying it in a certain spot? It's cool, but I'm happy with Spotify...I like the bare bones version of his tunes the best so far...and have much listening ahead...take care and have a blast!!!
Thanks very much Jerome. Our ridiculously talented friend created that stained glass window for us which we love too. The missus is definitely a keeper for sure. Glad you enjoyed the video. I've not really worked out the logistics of where or how Im going to keep the cube but will work it out over the next few days. I suspect it will go in our music room where most of our records and CDs are but whether I keep the vinyl in the cube is what I need to decide as I kind of want it own display with my other records. Glad you are enjoying the box set on Spotify
Hi Tone, What an overwhelming surprise!!😊 I am very happy for you! I understand your shock, but all the same, some surprise,huh? I am sure that it's well deserved. A niche item, not for me, personally. I will happily make do with the book and box set. Enjoy your... erm..... 'item'!! Happy days!!
Yes some surprise indeed. Couldn't believe it. Yes I get it that this is not for everyone and not something I ordered but now it's here Im delighted to have it. Enjoy the Deluxe box set - I think it's brilliant
Hi Tone, a lovely gift from Mrs Beatley Tone! Certainly a lot to look at, not excited to see how the Macca camp tries to one-up this,, my wallet hurts already! Your unboxing has piqued my interest enough that I may need to have a listen to the new mix and outtakes - albeit I may not be overly invested in the 'games'. Hope you are doing okay, looking forward to your next video.
Hi Boyan, hope all is well with you. The games are not for me either to be honest but the box set is fabulous . An amazing gift that I wasnt expecting . Been telling a lot of people (outside of you tube - eg friends and family etc) about your kindness too re the Macca tickets . See ya in a few months buddy
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Glad to hear you're still pleased about the tickets we were able to get, I'm certainly getting more excited as the days count down. Flights are all booked, looking forward to it!
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel will be there for 35 days, spending some time in Ireland as well, making the most of it on account of the time it takes to get there! Arriving mid November and getting home Christmas Eve
@@boyanarcher8083 sounds like a fantastic trip. If you find yourself in London at a loose end before the actual gig date, let me know - maybe we can catch up
Delighted you got that, looks really good. Well deserved for what you put in to the channel. Mrs BT sounds cool, don't think it would even cross my wife's mind to do that. She is great but Beatles and Solo is my thing,, not sure she understands fully why I constantly buy new versions of records I already have. Ah well maybe one day.
Thanks very much Peter, yes she is amazing and an amazing gift. I guess it's understandable that not everyone gets how important those 4 lads are to us . My wife is more acutely aware of this based the amount of time I spend working in this channel 😂
Awesometacular video! So glad you got it and thanks for sharing. I’m hoping to get the deluxe CD box set this afternoon and looking forward to playing it. The zoetrope discs look amazing. Do you know if those sell separately?
Thanks very much , glad you enjoyed the unboxing video, Unfortunately the Zoetrope vinyls are only available in the cube at the moment but I guess that could change later and them be available separately at some point. I hope you are enjoying your Deluxe box set - I think its brilliant
Hi mate. O wow I thought the Vinyl was the video too lol. But wow you got the BIG blow out box set ( nice )!!!!! O wow that sure is a big big box... It hertz my back in just looking at it lol... Meaning carrying it in mate lol wow so cool and that is just the box :). And you are starting to open it and the way it does fold down and drop. I thought I was getting ready for a Jams Bond mission lol right !!!!! O WOW the hologram is spectacular. I sure have seen a lot of boxes set and solo Beatles box sets too. But this sure is the ultimate box set wow it does have everything in it . I thought this was a $$$ one to get. But yes, it is lol but it sure is worth it wow!!!! Just incredible!!!! So now we won't see you for a week now lol!!! God thing you are retired you need a lot of time to get through it all lol. This was just great now after all of that you need a nap :). Enjoy this and thanks for sharing it all and take care my friend!!!!!!
Couldnt believe it Brad - the postman needed to deliver it on a trolly it was that heavy ! 18 kg ! An amazing gift from my wife. Really happy to get all the box set on vinyl - this is the thing I am most happy about. Shame they didnt do a vinyl only box without all the bits and pieces as I think that would have been a big seller. Thanks for watching mate. I have seen your video with you waiting around for yours to arrive, very funny mate made me laugh . Sorry I watched it on tv and havent worked out how to comment on that but will come back to it and leave you a comment. I hope you are enjoying the album my friend.
Great video. I have mine arriving today so I very appreciate you doing the video. Must take a good about of time doing a video like that. Love your John Lennon picture in kitchen. You’re a lucky man to have someone who would surprise you with a gift like that! Love is the answer. John’s hand looks like George’s living in the material world cover?
Oh it took me hours Ted - I actually finished recording and editing it at 3am - so much in it and I wanted to show it properly because its not every day you get a gift like this or a box set like this. I feel very lucky and I hope you get a lot of pleasure from yours when it arrives my friend. Agree about John's hand
Yes it looks like an amazing set and I bet you could have been knocked down by a feather when it arrived. So you have two copies now then - one for downstairs and one for upstairs lol.
haha yes 2 CD box sets now. The ones from there Lennon's I will keep on the shelf with the other boxes from this series, the other I guess will stay in the cube. But yes to get this as a gift I wasnt expecting absolutely blew me away
Hi Tone,well done mate.what a wife! Can you tell me how you get the video content from the blu rays as no one is telling us how to find the frigging films.Cheers mate
Hi David, I will come back to you on this as I hadn't discovered the video content when I did my review of the Deluxe box set and still havent . Remind me if I forget
thank you for giving me an insight into this box, thanks for this presentation and there s one Läibel, I m curious 'bout: what s the Connection, please to the Vertigo swirl from '69 to '73? (at that time, Philips was not close to emi at all and not even after that, not even today) just have the look at 19:41; thanks for your reply (we know)
You're welcome Christian and Im glad you enjoyed the video. I must admit I hadn't picked up of the similarity between the label and the Vertigo swirl but I've just checked this against on of my Thin Lizzy albums who were on Vertigo, and although the label at 19:41 is very similar to the Vertigo label, it's not quite the same, so I'm guessing that the association is just coincidental .
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Thank you very much Tone ! I didn't know the difference between the both. I''m gonna buy the 395. Thanks again and I'm hurry to see your "One to One" Box set unboxing at the end of the year. Cheers.
I listened to the remix yesterday. I like the original mix better. John Lennon produced the original album himself, and he did a very good job. I don`t know who has remixed this edition, but i think they missed their mark compared to Johns own mix which i think is excellent. Exciting box set though. I hope you are happy with it:)
Blimey, you're the first person to say that and sorry I disagree - I think the remix is astonishing but as ive said before, we all hear things differently on different equipment so there's no right or wrong answers. Glad you are enjoying the rest of box set though
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I like Johns original mixes better.. Mind Games was a very well produced album. He hat gotten rid of Phil Spector and his wall of sound. Not that getting rid of Spector mattered. John made sure that Spector never went overboard.
Putting aside your giddy childlike antics.....do you REALLY believe that Lennon would have condoned this extravagant, materialistic "offering"......even Ono has "distanced" herself from this particularly disturbing item from his estate......sad. 🖤♠
Putting aside your attempts to suck the joy out for reasons best known to yourself, how have you missed the point so badly? You wonder whether Lennon would approve, well not really wonder, you have made it clear by your capitalisation that you believe he would not, without REALLY knowing one way or the other. An attempt to be clever that falls completely flat and does the complete opposite. You also ignore the fact that his work has been remixed in several ways and been re-released. Are you not concerned that he might disapprove of that too? No, of course you're not, because your sole purpose here is to troll. You also disregard the fact that the beneficiaries of the Lennon estate have more money than they could spend in a thousand lifetimes , do you REALLY think they really need to release this cube to make money? Think hard ! If this was a materialistic offering, which of course it is not, and If it was conceived to make money, they would have made more than 1100 of them, made them smaller and cheaper (to sell more, thus making more money) I get it that this item is for collectors only and not everyone will like it or want it, you therefore need not worry about it (or who approves of it) as it doesn't concern you. As long as those that have bought it are happy with it, that's what matters, the rest is just hot air and waffle.
It's almost unbelievable all the stuff that's in that package. Am I dreaming? Somebody, pinch me?! Congratulations!Addendum: # 908?! I'll take the one after 909! That would be # 910! (JK, I don't have room for it!)
