Page 1 of beatles anthology & cd wow

Hi!....Has anyone who pre-ordered the beatles anthology from cd-wow recieved theirs yet?....It`s been out a week and i`m still waiting :-(
Thanx
Mark.(ps...they took my money in Feb!)

I knew this would happen! Personally I didnt want to risk having a 5 disc boxset delivered via the postman so went into my local MVC store and picked it up for £39.99! The extra £7 was worth it for the piece of mind in itself!!!!

Keep your fingers crossed for me Andy.............I`ll keep you all updated when/if i recieve it (by the way, is the bonus disc any good?)

Havent got round to watching the bonus disc much but had a look at it and its great! Watched Paul,George and Ringo in Abbey Road with George Martin going through old Beatles out-takes. Also includes the full video for `Real Love`. Im gonna sift through it all tonight - I`ve got the making of the Anthology albums to watch and the making of `Free as a bird` and `Real love` videos. Theres about 80 minutes of material on the bonus disc! Only got my player through my hi-fi coz I havent got a surround amp and speakers etc but apparently you can choose either DTS,Dolby Surround 5.1 or normal stereo (I forget the technical term for it) and this is included on all 5 discs!

I have to say the picture is not the best I`ve seen but nothing to worry about! Funnily enough the old footage is better than the actual interviews from 1994!!! The real beauty is the sound - even though I`ve been playing it through my headphones that in itself is the most powerful sound I`ve heard! Watched all 8 chapters in about 4 days but was well worth it!

All in all if you like the Beatles you will love this but even if you dont you soon will be! I`ve been waiting years for this to come out on DVD - I was`nt prepared to buy it on VHS , which oddly enough costs about an extra £70!!??!

Fingers crossed that you`ll get yours soon - you will not be dissapointed!

....Another thing! I bought my girlfriend `Will Young - Live` to stop her moaning coz I spent £40 on the Beatles Anthology and to keep her happy! Its a bit perverse watching Macca perform `The long and winding road` one night and then having to watch that muppet perform it the following night!!!!

Nightmare!

Just waiting for Sunday now....Macca live in Birmingham (hope he`s better!)...Cheers Andy!

Just spoken to CD Wow if your order was despatched between 28 March - 31 March ( which is presumably most of them!) the order has been impounded in a random security check by British Airways.

Should be sorted `early next week`

Thanks Stuart....Hope we don`t get stung by those lovely C&E people!....I just wish i`d payed the extra & gone to the high street now :-(

I got the same line by e-mail yesterday, but the package turned up on my doorstep this morning - postmarked Sweden - so no customs tax issue either!. Glad I paid less and waited a short while longer - what`s 10 days or so after waiting a few years!

Hi Thrifty.....Yeah, i`ve just had my email from them to confirm the BA customs issue....I`ve not recieved anything yet (Friday).....Praying for a Saturday delivery!! (No-one will get the TV this weekend!!)..Thanks again,Mark.
