      Anyone else's copy's play perfectly but don't spin? Mine plays with no problems, but every once in a while it stops spinning, and then starts spinning again (I know because the lid of my cd player is see through). It doesn't affect it's playing. I own the remixes of revolver and Abbey road too, and they do the same thing:every couple of tracks the cd is still but keeps playing.

        My esher demo disc misspells Mother Natures Son as Mother Natyres Son. Anyone else have this typo?

          It looks like CD1 and CD2 variant 4 have a few skips. Anyone else got this problem? Nevertheless, great sound this new mix!

            A great sounding 2 disc set overall. The team at Abbey Road did a great job mixing and mastering this set. I prefer this Stereo mix over the original, but you may not if that is your preference. The Esher Demos are a great bonus and are definitely a great reason to get this set.

              Great sounding, the cover a bit too easy to scratch but overall I’m satisfied.

                The White Album has never sounded this good, great stuff.

                  The Esther Demos are beautiful. Makes this essential White Album even more worthwhile to add to any collection.

                    Fabulous remix by Gilles Martin. Almost like being there. Highest recommendation.

                      Great album and the Esher tapes reminded me of how much I miss John.
