It´s an overwhelming box.... I'm almost speechless. I am an arty person but not a wealthy one. Thanks a lot Andy for showing us this piece of art.

When John was alive, he always gave us great products and music for a reasonable price. I don't think he would give his approval to this exorbitant issue.

Jesus Christ! That's almost an 1100 quid gift they sent you! Right, I'm starting my own review channel right now!

Although it’s way above what I could afford, I do appreciate you showing its content in great detail….thanks for that..👍

Oh no its not for working class heroes like me!!!

Wow!!! Thank you for taking us through the entire box. It is amazing! Great job by the Lennon estate. What a fitting way to honor the music and the artistic legacy.

If I had spent £1350 on that box, and to hear you just got it for free…. I’d feel even more ripped off.

Thank you so much for the unboxing. It is truly a work of art.

I don't think even Lennon himself would have thought that an album that was re-released on the budget 'Music for Pleasure' label was worthy of this hyperexpensive overblown treatment, but if it funds more physical media releases then I suppose it's ok. Having said that, the 2002 remix by Peter Cobbin was miles better than the original. I'm looking forward to the Super Deluxe Peter Jackson remix of the Star Club tapes, with Star Club ashtray, beer mug, West German work permits, and bottles of Prellies and antibiotics...

Thanks for showing this. I feel that this video will do more for people NOT buying the BIG BOX, and people thinking to charge back or cancel their orders, than selling it, though.

It really is a time capsule and Beatiful piece of art , im enjoying this unboxing it’s full of surprises .

Thank you Andrew for this wonderful presentation and breakdown of this box. Geez, I can’t help but love it. It’s such an art piece, and you made a really interesting point about these uber boxes tipping the balance in terms of viability. I’m definitely getting the Blu-ray/ CD box and the separate book. Congratulations Andrew and thanks for your insightful thoughts.

i have the “you are here“ badge from the incredible Double Fantasy exhibition in Livepool. I saw that exhibition in 2018 and then in 2019 and only then did I notice that they had free badges there. badges and the “breathe“ card that Yoko gave to John.

Don't know what happened to me. All out of nowhere just started singing "Baby, you're a rich man". Great review, thanks for the insight Andrew!

Hi, Andrew. Thank you for showing this ridiculously gorgeous box set. It’s also ridiculously expensive, so I’m not going to buy it, the 2 cd version for me. Not because I don’t want it, a purely financial decision. But, yeah, it’s certainly a piece of art, and I’m happy for you and anyone who gets it. Enjoy ! Geir, Norway. 👋👍

What an amazing project. Thank you for showing us. I have always loved the music of the Beatles and John Lennon. Great video and channel.

I am happy for you... but, for me, this defines the terms theater of the absurd , not to mention bloated excess. After the LP's and CD/blu ray box, which should run , at most around $500.00 for all the music (12 songs in different configurations without including the hidden tracks), it is an extra $800.00 for lots of cardboard, trinkets, paper and narcissistic stuff of nonsense. At least they threw in a UV torch. I just received the gorgeous Jethro Tull "Bursting Out" book box set. 3 CD's, 3 DVD's with high res surround mixes, an hour video "Live At Madison Square Garden" included, a beautiful book full of information, color photos, etc.... for $67.00. Enough said.

IF it was half the price... MAYBE the Collector in me would be having silly ideas. Thankfully, it is a months wages and out of my price range 😄

Thanks, Andrew. This is the closest I’m ever going to get to this box set. I know it is ridiculously expensive, but it is a beautiful object and an intriguing piece of art. And it’s John Lennon. What more could we want? I’m very grateful for the time and effort you make to show us these wonderful things. Great job as always!

The box set actually looks like a lot of fun. Congratulations on your promotional copy.

Brilliant …in-depth review as always…

Congratulations Andrew and thanks again for this great unboxing ! You're really the best ! And thanks to the Lennon estate for their great work !

Thanks Andrew for taking the time to show this box. You do a great job presenting this. It looks great.

A wonderful piece of art. The sonic quality of the music is amazing. It is also a rediscovering of sorts of a neglected album.

Congratulations Andrew on receiving this wonderful box set. And thank you for sharing lovely to see. Enjoy it.

I wonder if they were tempted to re-press it under the 'Music For Pleasure' label?

What a incredible box set!

I ordered it the day of the announcement and I can't wait to receive it, which is why I haven't seen your video yet, so as not to spoil anything of the content. However, I am very happy that you had the opportunity to review it in advance. Well done! I will be happy to watch your video after unboxing mine, in the meantime I'll like it on trust! 😉🙌👏

I do not see any benefit of spending £1000 extra for no additional music.

Very beautiful Box!

Great video to see what that huge outlay would get you - and pleased a genuine fan with a great channel get one - ultimately it’s a lot of repetition and whistles and bells - but it is beautifully put together and yes - artistic ! And we got bonus knobby knees ❤

Thank you so much for this opportunity to see the contents within this massive box set. I’m really on the fence on this. I would need to take money out of savings to buy it, but I’m not sure how often I would enjoy the art of it. Although I love all the art, the vinyl is what I’m really after. Excellent video regardless. Great job again Andrew, and congratulations on adding this amazing piece to your collection.

Congrats, Andrew! I'm happy for you. Your channel spreads a lot of enjoyment throughout Beatledom, so you deserve it!

This only increases my excitement for when my copy arrives next week! Thanks, Andrew!

Thanks for sharing Lot to go through Looking forward to next video

You failed to mention that if you're changing a flat tire, one can use this to place under the vehicle to hold it up. Thank you, for taking the time to review it.

Thank you Andrew for this. This really is a beautiful box set, but I have to say that this not going to be a set that is going to be played very much, if at all, as this is a very elaborate box to open. However should I be successful with the Euromillions I may consider buying a copy.. Keep your fingers crossed.. I'm now convinced that those are Star constellations on the inside of the first layer, and that and numerology are going to be the keys to solving the puzzles/mind games..

Great video ! Glad you showed everything in detail, Very interesting.

Thanx for sharing Andrew. Great video, perfect unboxing and as we all agree, nice piece of art.

I would love to get that box set but of course the only thing that is stopping me is the price, that is why I went with the 6 CD box 😊

Finally got round to watching this today & wanted to thank you for showing us the (mostly) fantastic contents of the huge super deluxe box. I normally quite enjoy the non-musical trinkets that these types of packages, and if I was still a single man, I would likely be willing to drop the coin on this set. However, given my current circumstance, I can't justify doing so ... but I'm glad to be able to see such a detailed presentation of the contents and definitely pleased that a true fan like yourself was able to acquire one. Thanks for sharing, Andrew.

Open your box .

Very impressive work of art! Love the zoetrope discs! 😀

This was wonderful Saturday morning viewing. An interest concept release with a lot to keep you coming back to it.

Thank you so much Andrew fascinating video great to see the content I have ordered 6cd can’t wait 🎸👍

Thanks for showing! That was fun and games.

Hi Andrew very glad you got sent this and thanks for showing us all of its contents. Fascinating - not something I would want myself or be willing to pay that much for, but it's obviously had a lot of time and care spent on it. Personally I'm happy just getting the music but it's intriguing!

Great looking super super mega duper arty box set wow!!! So much to digest so many goodies nicely put together in a danger box smart idea to get everything together! Nice of Sean and Yoko sending it your way Andrew ! Mind games is like a treasure hunt Sean and Yoko have put together happy They gave lots of love to Mind games and remixed the music for best sound quality and give this album new life so can't wait for my 6cd set july 12!! Thanks Andrew great unboxing for the fans! In depth information! Andrew I haven't seen any video on Paul's One hand clapping on your channel? You didn't do a video on One hand clapping ?

This is mad - i love it !

As I've got no chance of ever owning this piece of art, really nice to see what's in the box. Thanks Andrew for the unboxing enjoy 😊

Strewth! Wow Andrew. What an amazing cornucopia of a box with a wealth of musical, design and art history. And your video is reallt well done, even the floor stuff 😄 Hope you enjoy it and have fun with it as it is well deserved. Cheers from Morten in Oslo 😊

What an incredible box, which I knew it would be coming from the Lennon camp. Wish I was able to order this but unfortunately I will have to enjoy my deluxe set. I really did enjoy your presentation Andrew, you do an excellent job, thank you for taking the time for a much enjoyed show. I do think John Lennon would be proud of this set,, Sean did a wonderful job. Take care!

After the Uber All things must pass it seems the estates of deceased Beatles are now trying to outdo each other , I bought the Uber ( which I now regret) will not buy this or any ridiculous sets

Another Freebie for Andrew!!! I just don’t know. Are you sure you will have room for that GIANT Box? I really don’t see how you are gonna squeeze that monster on your shelves. 😂 Well, I am really very delighted for you.

Dixon hasn't been this exciting since the Dune Popcorn cup

Again…WOW! Really nice presentation. I think my favorite thing is the zoetrope vinyl…looked very cool spinning around. Thanks for the deep dive and advance look into this incredible albeit hefty box set.

Thank you for the showing. Pretty huge. Mine will arrive in around ten days. Can you give out the dimensions so I can carve out a storage space for it?

Thank you !!!

I see your REL woofer in the background, a lot of people would dismiss such a thing for a 2 channel system, I couldn't go without one now, adding that punch in the low end has improved my listening experience greatly. I will stay with my original CD thanks in part to my sub woofer and streaming.

Very cool, thanks. I'll be just fine with the double vinyl

I've pre-ordered this monstrosity, but to be frank I'm experiencing mixed feelings. I had also considered tilting the cube on its side to keep the vinyl lps vertical, but my question then is ---- is there anyway to change the plastic box art so John's face remains upright, and not on its side?

Thanks Andrew. Great as always. I have less than a fortnight to wait. And even that’s too long! 🎉

lots of "ephemera".....for lots of money !

Looks amazing Andrew, it's good to see Lennon's solo career getting serious attention, more to him than Imagine. I think I'm going to go for the double vinyl. Nice that they looking after everyone by featuring bonus tracks on all formats. Thankyou for taking the time out to show us the box set much appreciated, you deserve these gifts, nice they appreciate your reviews.

Wow it’s a amazing set 😊Great video enjoyed it .

Wow, that’s a lot to go over. Thanks Andrew

Hi mate A beautiful box. It took a lot of inventiveness to develop such an item. Enjoy it Take care.

Congratulations, Pal

Hello Andrew, WOW what a release!! I WISH I was getting this item/items? So MUCH to enjoy!!!! I loved this video you did an excellent job showing all the items . It is WELL WORTH THE MONEY. Enjoy all of the FUN and Mind games that this set will bring . Take Care

Great unboxing. Very informative. Would you please do a quick video of how it is put back together? Especially interested in how do you keep the panels up to get the cube back over them. That's four panels that have to be held in place for the outer box to go over.🤔🤔🤔

It is nothing different than the 6 cds set its too dsm much money

This looks amazing! I'd love to have one, but it is currently out of my price range. Perhaps, if it is available in a few months, I'll pick it up.

Thank you, Andrew, for the review and look through the box. A nice gift from the Lennon camp, and well deserved for the work that you put in. A very interesting concept and packed to the gills with intrigue and nicely produced items. Not sure why the negative comments. It is not something that you have to buy to get the music, so if you like the art of it, then why not? I did get the All Things Must Pass box, and do not regret it, but this one was a little too expensive to justify. For those that did order it, I hope that it provides a lot of enjoyment. Having recently visited Japan, I did try to order both maps, but it looks like I was too late. If you have any idea of how it may be possible to get them, let me know. There was some sort of expression of interest option for the Liverpool one but I cannot see any option for the Yoko map. I'm in the UK incidentally. I have ordered the 6CD box and will enjoy the music, I am sure. It was one of the albums I recall buying close to release time, when I first started collecting records under my own steam as a young teenager. The Uncut disc was a good introduction to the set. Have fun with your cube and hopefully pass on some more of its secrets, when appropriate. Thanks again for the detailed overview.

Your excitement is addictive. Yoko must have had a real hands-on approach as her art and humour are all over this release. Thanks for sharing, love the box, can’t afford it but lovely to see… would love to see the zoetrope released separately and the maps are fantastic. Cheers.

You must be exhausted after this Unboxing! Personally I saw a lot of Cardboard and a lot of Paper. John didn’t think much of this LP back in the day and I agreed with him. Have a rest Andrew, you deserve it. 😂

Thanks for doing such a thorough and well shot unboxing. Entirely too rich for my wallet, but the love and care that has been put into this set is all too evident. Despite having got the three previous Ultimate Collection Lennon sets, I was going to sit this one out as it is far from my favourite JL set. Between your vids & discussions elsewhere, I’m in for the 6CD/BR box now, got a feeling this release will win me over as the Wild Life & RRS Archive Deluxe sets did for those albums. Keep up the good work, it’s appreciated! 👍

Beautiful set. Great unboxing video. But I’m happy with the standard 6 cd box to go along with the previous sets. I hope they sell out though to encourage them to continue with more Ultimate sets.

I’m surprised no one is putting reviews up for the new mixes. Usually it’s a race to post the first review. I’ve stopped typing in the search for the reviews, cause no ones doing them.

Blimey Andrew! I'd already given myself a good talking to about not buying this & I was staying strong. One view of your video & I've crumbled! It's ordered. Nice review. 👌🏼

Excellent review and well deserved. I can’t see most of us getting this massive box set. I’m definitely purchasing the two disc set. I’m really only interested in b sides and unreleased songs.

Wow, thanks for showing this Andrew, the cube is a bit pricey for me but I will buy the magazine.

Well done by you and The Lennon Estate. I wish I could get it, but it’s outside of my current budget capabilities. I’ll be happy with the digital deluxe set. Cheers Mate!!!!

Wow Mr. Dixon You said it Right This is a very impressive box set Unfortunately, I couldn’t afford it because it’s really expensive like you said However, I am thankful that I was able to afford the box with the six CDs and 2 blu-rays I want to thank you Mr. Dixon for going into detail when describing this big fat cube Even though I can’t see, I could imagine that it looks very cool and the fact that everything is stored in a Yoko Ono danger box is very neat It doesn’t really bother me that you could only get the vinyl in this big fat cube because I am mostly a CD buyer and I also want to say thank you to Yoko and Sean because everything else that is in this big fat cube can be bought separately I will catch you on the next video Mr. Dixon and I send my blessings to you and also to Yoko and Sean and to John, who is in heaven

Homer [the Smithers, Season 7]: (to Mr. Burns) "Here are your messages: You have thirty minutes to move your car, you have ten minutes, your car has been impounded, your car has been crushed into a cube, you have thirty minutes to move your cube. (the phone rings) Y'ello, Mr. Burns's office." Mr. Burns: "Is it about my cube?"

I love The Beatles. I love a lot of the music they recorded as solo artists. But...to spend that kind of money on the box set -or even buy the 2-album set- is crazy, imho. The only 2 songs I know on the album are 'Mind Games' and 'One Day At A Time'. To spend big money in the hopes that the rest of the songs will grow on me is over the top. In any case, congrats on your free deluxe box. Thanks for sharing.

This reminds of the fantastic Lennon ‘Yes’ Signature box from 2010 which made a collection of albums into a work of art.

WOW! That is beautiful! I think I need this ;-)

21:55 Oh damn I'm going to Liverpool on August 6th. Wow, what a great box set. Thanks for showing its content....enjoy!

Wonderful video Andrew, an amazing box. It's not for me, i value the music more, but so glad you have it and have shared with us all. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the unboxing, Andrew. I quickly realized that this is definitely not the version to buy if you are primarily interested in the music; too much effort in the unpacking/repacking. A hoarder's delight, however!

Hi Andrew and Congratulations on receiving this set. As always, you have provided a comprehensive, detailed overview of the item at hand. While you are certainly most grateful to the Lennon Estate, do I sense a bit of you being a little underwhelmed by this seemingly overwhelming cube. Yes, it’s artsy to be sure, but aside from the book and the musical media (and the flag), isn’t it all a bunch of paper and cardboard ephemera that will ultimately be re-boxed and sit on a shelf? I seem to sense that this is not something you would have bought yourself even if money were not an issue.

Great video Andrew. Although a born Scouser and avid Lennon fan it would be a dream to have this box but I understand the Lennon estate needs to appeal to different fans with different financial price points. I think Sean is doing great things with his dad's work and look forward to seeing future releases. I'd love to see a documentary style film for the album. It would be great with each release to take a deep dive. Keep up the good work and great to see you rewarded in this way with the box.

Great review of what is really a piece of art. Nice to see inside but the 6cd set is quite enough of these tracks for me. I wonder if boxes like these are things you can invest in like paintings or gold bars and go up in price?

which are the titles of the hidden tracks on this new release ?

The John zoetrope was a really lovely idea, hope you get it working. 🙂

Do you have a film collection. That's why i use Spotify for my music because i need my room for films.

Hi Andrew, a very nice presentation of this Super Deluxe Box Set, for me it is mostly the music that counts and I sincerely hope that the 7X LP box will one day be released separately. Best Regards from The Netherlands

Congrats! I’m delighted when I get a free coffee!

Are you the only RU-vidr to get the cube sent to you in addition to the 6CD set?! Well done, Andrew. You deserve it.
