I just got this yesterday. I'm still not completely finished listening to it. This is the 5 CD box set. There are several variations, including a 2 CD set. This is good, but simply not worth over $100. I can compare this purchase to other recent ones I've made. The Slade recent 5 CD release was only $43. The Allman Brothers 5 CD set "Trouble No More" which I got in February is still only $50, although it went up slightly since I got it. I actually got more fulfillment buying the James Gang live CD several months ago than buying this Beatles CD set. In that case, I had been on a search for years to find that particular CD. So I guess that's a factor. I'm not trying, of course, to compare Slade, the James Gang and the Allman Brothers to the Beatles, although it's possible a case could actually be made for the Allman Brothers. BTW, I don't know how much the Revolver 2 CD set is. It may be worth whatever they're charging, though. As for the way the remixed Revolver sounds, I wasn't planning on doing an actual review. Suffice it to say, I was disappointed from the first song. "Taxman" started off sounding trebly with not a major improvement on the sound of the vocals. I was expecting better. Also, judging on what I had been reading about it, I was expecting a fuller and deeper bass sound. It's not bad, but definitely not worth paying $100. I was fine with the prices of all the other CDs mentioned here, but not with this one. Also, I'm not very interested in the outtakes people are raving about. I don't care that Yellow Submarine started out as a depressing song and then evolved. What's really depressing is buying this overpriced Revolver CD set.
