Hi Tone very glad you've been sent this too. Although I've got the Imagine and Plastic Ono Band deluxe sets I don't own the Mind Games album and always believed it to be one of the lesser albums in the canon, but seeing Andrew's video last week persuaded me to place an order for it with my local independent retailer in Brentwood, Essex, so the strategy of sending copies to You Tubers such as yourself and Andrew not only rewards your loyal fandom but is also an effective way of putting across to "waverers" like me what you're getting for your £s here. If I don't want further analysis of the content itself I can always come back to your video once I've got my own copy and formed my own thoughts. Keep up the good work, all the best

Thank you for the unboxing, that has whetted my appetite for 12th July. Look forward to your review of the music too. I think that this is going to be a very special set. The album is perhaps the first one that I remember being released when I was in a position to actually go out under my own steam and buy. Never sure why it seems to get some negativity.

made up for you that you received a freebee (well deserved). I am not in to the mind games for ultra violet lights or puzzles or whatever, but only for the music. A little disappointed the bonus tracks I believe can only be heard via blueray which I do not have, but I have lived without them nearly 65 years so what you've never had etc. Looking forward to the set, after a few listens, will rip them to my Brennan B2 along with the other 16k plus tracks to play at random. Great video as always.

Talk about the ridiculous price this box set sells for. In Australia $360 which is about 2x JLPOB and 3x Imagine
@beatleytonesbeatleschannel2 ай бұрын
That does seem very steep. That's about £190 whereas the price in the uk is £130 which is a hike of about £40 on POB back in 2021. Unfortunately times have moved on post covid. POB was around £90 when it came out in 2021, but just like everything else in life, the price of box sets has gone up. I recently bought the Bowie box rock n roll Star £150 for 5 cds 1 blu-ray and a book, Mind games is 6CDs 2 Blu rays and a book £130 £20 less and more content , so at todays prices it's still decent value I think, however the Aussie price is well over the top. Any idea why it's so expensive in Australia. I enjoy your website btw

@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel The majors import EVERYTHING now to Australia. NOTHING is manufactured locally anymore. We can buy Mind Games cheaper from Universal UK than Universal Australia because if you go through Australia, the local end adds their take on top of the UK or US end. So effectively, the Australian consumer if buying it twice from the same record company. They import limited stock and then rarely restock after the first batch. I doubt the Lennon estate would even know of the price gouging that occurs in Australia. Mind Games in Australia converted to UK is £180

Mind games was one if the first albums i ever bought. I always thought ut was one of his better albums. I like this more than "Walls and bridges" It was especially an improvement from "Some time in New York City" Songs like "Mind games" "Out the blue" "Intuition" and "Tight A$" are very good songs. I also like the other tracks. I am surprised it didn`t do better commercially. It only got to no.13 in the U.K. and no.9 in the U.S. It had deserved to be a top three album in both the UK and US.

@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I like it a lot. I think it`s better than "Walls and bridges" It`s definitely more commercial, even though "Walls and bridges" was a Billboard no.1 album, and "Mind games" was not. "Intuition" could have been a hit single if it had been released as an a-side. "Mind games" was a bit hit, and is one of John Lennons best solo songs. The whole album is very enjoyable. I`d give it a very strong 4/6 if i were to rate it.

@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel There`s a lot of people who really like "Walls and brides" It`s not among my favorite John Lennon albums. I LOVE "Scared" "#9 Dream" and "Whatever gets you through the night" but the rest of the album is not up to par with those songs. I`ve never liked his Rock and roll album either. I think Johns voice is shot, and many of the numbers are overproduced. A lot of John fans love Rock and roll, but that is probably my least favorite John album. And i`m not counting those silly albums he did in 1969 with Yoko. The wedding album etc. I don`t consider that to be a proper album anyway. As far as i am concerned "John Lennon/Plastic Ono band" is John Lennons first solo album. I also love "Double fantasy" John wrote some beautiful numbers for that album, and he even revisited the Beatles with "Woman" who sounds like a Beatles song to my ears. Yokos songs on "Double fantasy" are also quite good. I think "Imagine" is his best album. "John Lennon/Plastic One band" is the next best, while "Double fantasty" is his third best album. "Mind games" is his fourth best album to me.

Have you found the hidden tracks I've seen it cd let's you know that the hidden track. To hear them you have to know where they. So you play the track before, the hidden song. You stop before it. Then rewind back and the hidden one plays. So far your the 3rd I've seen have received the set Andy Dixon John Heaton now you. Yes I'm jealous.

I know about 4 or 5 KZfaqrs that have got this box set early from the John Lennon Estate so it's not really 'all these people' . We dont ask for it, the estate approaches the KZfaqrs. Ive bought everything myself etc for 48 years and this is the first time Ive got anything for free . It's a two-way thing between the camp and the KZfaqrs.
