    The early US albums are particularly punchy, while Beatles ’65 makes an interesting counterpoint to its corresponding European release Beatles For Sale, and this version of A Hard Day’s Night includes four George Martin instrumentals. [Review of the Year 2024, p.43]

    The whole box is a spectacular redemption for these oft-forgotten albums—a crucial part of the Beatles story, finally restored in all their splendor. Meet these Beatles.

    Once you’ve finished playing spot the difference it’s a blast. .... And the mono mixes have a vitality and punch often lacking from recent remixes. [Christmas 2024, p.120]

    It's a lavish, well-considered and executed set that makes for quite the splurge for a Beatles fan with a nice phonograph set.

    The inevitable irony is that the first-class packaging and mono fidelity makes this serial potpourri feel new and thrilling again - while none of it accurately reflects the Beatles' creative intent and daily momentum. [Dec 2024, p.100]
