Past Masters: A two-disc collection featuring non-album singles, B-sides, and rare tracks, totaling 217 songs across the entire set.
A key point of confusion—and a verification red flag—involves the stereo set’s content for the first four albums (Please Please Me, With The Beatles, A Hard Day’s Night, Beatles for Sale). The Beatles themselves supervised the mono mixes; the early stereo mixes were often afterthoughts, featuring extreme channel separation (all vocals in one ear, guitars in the other). The 2009 Stereo Box does not alter these historic stereo mixes. Therefore, a verified stereo box will have these lopsided, "hard-panned" mixes. If a seller claims a "rare stereo box with fixed early stereo," it is either a bootleg or a misunderstanding—no such official product exists.
Authentic new sets typically range from $200 to $260 USD, while used sets can be found for as low as $75 to $110 USD depending on condition.
