Great to see an unboxing finally!
But honestly his ignorance about what’s included made it an annoying watch. Surely if you’re someone who’s in the position where you’re being sent early promo copies, you’d at least be aware of the release and it’s contents.

I noticed that, while the book looks beautifully designed and full of content, there's no photos there which are new, which is a slightly disappointing.
I love shots of the band at work in Abbey Road, and was looking forward to some I'd not seen before.
Maybe it's just that the Revolver session pics have been used so much. A minor gripe....

He even thinks the spread with individual photos were from the white album.

for sure better one.

I assumed it was a running joke but I guess not

Perhaps he thought he was getting the vinyl version?

The real joke is that he might have to actually BUY a vinyl box..
He's often accused of being on the gravy train train as he gets lots of really expensive audiophile vinyl and test pressings for nothing as he's a reviewer.

I wish I would get sent free versions of the vinyl sets... perhaps I can enrol in some quality-control scheme?

I remember as a teenager being crazy jealous over the guys who tested the prototype pinball machines at the factories in California. They got paid to play pinball all day!

he also reviews expensive/very expensive hifi equipment...so if you look hard enough you'll find youtube videos of him saying what he actually bought for himself and what is there "on loan" to him to review
