This is one such box. The love for the artist and the respect for his music shines through. The box itself is quite stunning. The sleeves/inner sleeves are top notch and the records themselves come in poly-lined inners.
The vinyl is beautifully pressed; it’s flat and clean. Virtually no surface dust needed to be removed prior to playing.
And so to the sound. Faultless, no crackles or pops. I only had ATMP, Cloud 9 & Brainwashed before buying this set so there has been plenty of ‘new’ music for me to discover and I haven’t had the chance to immerse myself with multiple plays as yet. There are a few dud tracks here and there but that goes for anyone with a 10+ album back catalogue. Wonderwall was a pleasant surprise and very enjoyable.
The 2 picture discs were a nice bonus. A book, in a similar vein as the one in the Queen LP box set would have been marvellous. But it would seem churlish to deduct a star for this omission. The set is superb.
However, the most striking feature here is how George's personality benefits from being collected together in one package - positively seeping from the box in abundance.
A beautiful package - well done Dhani!
So, returning to my original point, if you want to approach this as someone who wants George's album collection on vinyl, on high quality pressings (and the records sound fine to me, on a Gyrodec/SME turntable via Harbeth speakers), with excellent reproductions of the sleeves (at least that's how they look to me), then buy with confidence. If, on the other hand, you already own these records - perhaps on original pressings - then this is probably not for you (it's a lot of money to throw at something you already own......).
*I bought my set from Amazon Italy. This means that this review will probably not identify me as a 'verified purchase(r)'. The reason I went with the Italian site was because, as of Friday evening, there was a difference of over £110 between Italy and Amazon UK. So I ordered around 5.30 Friday evening, and it arrived 4.00 Saturday. The difference is now down to about £50.
A very nice item and very pleased to own this. Highly recommended. The packaging from Amazon was also of a very high order minimising the risk of damaging this very heavy box set.
Now what about a proper Brainwashed Lp.
Harrison said he wanted to make an on the spot
album, without overdubs or enhanced effects.
Yet after his passing Jeff Lynn went against
Harrison's wishes & "behold" overdubs & added
musicians. Harrison's son did add some guitar
work, which was fitting. But Mr.ELO just couldn't
keeps his over production mitts off. Brings a new
meaning to "what are friends for".

All records come in good quality inner sleeves to preserve the picture sleeves. Dead quiet andaaaa all the records came flat.
The sound quality is unbelievable.
At first I thought the set was a bit expensive but now I believe it is completely worth it.
If there was a con to this set is that it comes ONLY with music. Unlike The Beatles Stereo or Mono sets which came with a book.
That being said. That is not neccesary to enjoy this collection of master pieces.
Costo importante non trattandosi di edizione limitata.
Die Maxi Picture Discs sind ein Hingucker und befinden sich in einer stabilen Zusatzbox.
Sicherlich nicht für den nur interessierten Fan geeignet, aber bei diesem Werk wundert es nicht, weshalb die Vinyl-Schallplatte ihren zweiten Frühling erlebt.
