    Just for reference, this series began last year, with little publicity, before being put on hold after issue 5. This is pretty much a relaunch.

  2. Johnny Main says:

    Issue 1 is £9.99 (for limited time only) however, from Issue 2 onwards, all single albums are £16.99 and all double and triple albums are £24.99 which isn't made clear from the posting above.

    Ok thanks Johnny, I have added this info to the blog post!

    Do we know what the source files are for these? Are they the same as the stereo remasters?

  5. Unknown says:

    Are these issued weekly or monthly or fortnightly? It is not made clear

    Although the free gifts may be fun to collect, the albums are more or less the same price as the regular editions in record stores. As for commemorative booklets, unless you are a newbie there is little that is unknown about the making of these records. Probably better to pick up the emi editions.

    @Marilyn Brownlie – If you click on the DeAgostini website link provided on article and go to the FAQ section you'll see the releases are fortnightly.

  8. Popper says:

    Releases are fortnightly. They are basically the 2012 editions but with DeAgostini in the small print and very thick vinyl. The booklet is about 10 inches square but pretty flimsy. Eight printed sides with large-print sleeve notes of the typical surface-level variety and some big photos. There's a great poster though, with images of all the LP covers. Issue 1 is worth the tenner it costs, but I doubt I will buy any at full price.

    In 1966, appealing to the Christmas market and the record buying masses, The Beatles release a greatest hits compilation album called A Collection Of Beatles Oldies. It is a limited edition LP which features all their number one singles between 1963 and 1966 plus two bonus tracks "Bad Boy" and "Michelle".

      I don't recall it being a limited edition release? It was later released on some budget labels, FAME was the name of one of them. I saw a FAME copy for sale in a charity shop window in Wimbledon Village just a week or so ago. They wanted £10 for it. Been meaning to go and take a look at it if they still have it. It was never released on CD. Cover art was really quite good in my opinion. I have two very good copies myself.
