I had to buy it because it is this type of product that I splurge on. Good thing it is my money, and I get to do what I want with it. Never understand why people get upset. Most of the people that complain go to Starbucks and spend way over that in a year on crappy coffee, but it is their money, do it! Be happy!
You made a great point. I don't have the money to order one, but I also don't really need all of the extras that are included. The Deluxe edition or whatever they're calling the higher priced, but still in range sounds like a great option. Bless those that are able to order the cube, let them have a lot of stuff they will look at once, and then have it sit on a shelf. To use your phrase "It's the music..."
I agree with you Mazzy. That’s why there are different price points for every budget. myself I’m not sure just yet I’m looking at the deluxe box or the two LP sets and two CD set. I do like the deluxe box so I might go for that. I really do love this album.
After passing on all the uber deluxe in the past that you talked about and with the recent RSD EP and after watching the official crate creation I went ahead and purchased the super deluxe. Mind Games is also one of my favorite albums despite the original muddy mix.
The Ultimate should be regarded as a piece of art in itself. I look forward to seeing Mazzy's unboxing video this summer .. 😏👍🏼 Personally, the 2CD version alongside the 280 page Mind Games book (coming Sept '24) will suit my needs.
Hi Mazzy , great “ ramble “ , and I enjoy your enthusiasm and artwork appreciated comments ! * if you’re definitely coming to the Tate M for around august time , be good to show you around the museum , as I’ve been “ host volunteer there for over 6years , and a member for over two decades , and be fun to hear your comments after you’ve seen the special Yoko Ono exhibit too . * over a coffee / or meal on the 6th floor diner , which has a nice view over the Thames 🎉happy trails ….Lester T .
the "deluxe" (deluxe enough for me) versions of the first two albums that you show here would be my most cherished possessions. a "mind games" just like them without any postcards, nutopian flags, etc. would be more than i could wish for from a genie. the "super deluxe" should exist in whatever limited form it's coming out as but i don't need it. great video primarily for showing me the deluxe editions of the first two records!
I’m glad you posted this. The only downside is you won’t reach the unwashed ignorant masses who are standing by to complain with the same old tired clichés. No need to replicate them here. I love the looks of the wowee kazowee version, but I’m going for the less expensive deluxe edition. I hope when you get it you’ll invite me over to gaze lovingly at it. Mind Games is an interesting era for Lennon that came and went in a flash and is deserving of a re-listen and reassessment. I loved it when it was released all those years ago and can’t wait to dive back in. Cheers, Kazzy
Mazzy , Great video , I agree with you , the ultimate box set , $1350, is a item of masterpiece and art, I am a artist and I appreciate all art, John and Yokos art is to me is fantastic, I love it, and appreciate what they have done and given us, can’t afford that piece, but that is okay it is there for those who can, I am purchasing the 6Cd / Blu-ray box set it has special place in my collection and the masterpiece of John and Yoko, Mazzy Thank you, Takecare, Besafe Friend, Steve
Mazzy, for once you should be the first to receive this work of art for free to promote it! With all the art pieces by John Lennon, Yoko, Harrison,...that you've bought over the years, you deserve it!
@@mazzysmusic to justify that cube at that price..Yoko could shit in a box and you’d call it art..I will call it shit in a box..that’s where we differ.
I'm a working-class man with a minimum wage, I will be hanging on until Amazon will be desperate to ship them out at half price like my Let It Be box (yes, I paid less than half price) I think it's all fine for people who buy it for buying sake And probably never even open it
Mind Games is a BEAUTIFUL song! But all else, I can do without. Imagine has a bunch of killer songs, including Oh Yoko...I could (and have) listen to that ALL day!
I've a similar passion for collecting International cinema from 1950 to the present. Belonging to a few sites of subtitling communities I rarely watch anything from the Anglosphere. A great deal of Chinese, Indian, Iranian, Brazilian, sub Saharan, and European films. Probably a 100 T's of film and documentary. Always something to watch.
We should thank the Lennon estate for skipping Sometime in NYC, an atrocity. Mind Games is not a stand-out record, but there are 2 or 3 standout songs on it. I might pick this up as a CD if I see it out. I like the Imagine CD with some bonus tracks from several years back. Wall and Bridges I would probably buy too. But that would be it from Lennon's solo career.
Hope you got to see the May Pang documentary 'The Lost Weekend : A Love Story'.......I've just watched it on Prime. It is absolutely fantastic !!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The McCartney boxes are all the same size (barring 1971-1973 and the super duper Flaming Pie set) just different widths. They definitely check the OCD boxes for me especially since the spine text matches. The Beatles sets? You’re right - all different. Argh!! My opinion is the way they did Revolver is the best. It mirrors the excellent Fleetwood Mac sets.
All you need is love, love is all you need. Should I spring (heel jack) for the 6 cd? Can't do the box. I have one box, the Signature Box, missed the Ono Box. Exploding Plastic Inevitable.
It’s not whether you want the super box. It’s the fact you can’t have it because of the price. What has artwork from 66 got todo with an album released in 73?
Here is what the “cash grab” crowd should be focused on if they want to make an argument. Not the ”Wowy Zowy” edition but the fact that in 2021 on Amazon the six disc iteration of “John Lennon/POB” retailed for $114(US) upon release. It will be interesting to see if there is any markup for the similar iteration of “Mind Games” as it will essentially be the same set but a different album.
Is the LP any good? My brother had this years after the event, so at nine I had to listen to it a hell of a lot - in my memory it was quite grim as a listen. I haven't heard it since but I'm generally quite impressed by thé taste i had as a kid, much better than I have now anyhow.
Mind Games is I feel an overlooked album from John Lennon, I think its a fine album, the problem with the album is some of the production, such as the female backup singing, I really enjoyed the Lennon Anthology outtakes of the stripped down versions of the songs from Mind Games,- it Way better.
Norman, si 'Mind Games' sale el 12 de julio, quiere decir que en julio ya no saldrá nada por el aniversario del album 'A hard days night' ni de la película ????😔😥
Just imagine if Lennon had stayed in the UK all the great music that never was. Thanks, America ya killed the music, then ya killed the man. Does the Super Doopa box set glow in the dark?
I really hope the bass isn’t bloated on remix like they have been on some of the others. Giles Martin can’t resist that either on some tracks. It’s a shame because the Beatles were about subtlety
@@mazzysmusic yeah, I know Giles not involved here but he also can bloat the bass. Case in point, Michelle from the red, crazy, but there are others. So depressing as we’ve waited so long for these. Also some of John’s remixes to now. I guess the saving grace could be that, deep in the lost weekend, John forgot to book a bass player for Mind Games anyway 😂
MG album cover was out of touch with the '70s. Looks lifted off any 1967-68 British broadsheet Sunday Supplement. In our Art class, schoolteachers used to compile them to get us kids to cut them up in collages - - to keep the trolls quiet for an hour in 1968. It was either that or glue trawlers together out of cigarette packs & papier mache. I can;t remember what we used for masts, but it could easily have been cigarettes. There wasn't a lot of subtlety in Manchester education. The mind games notion is also very '60s - -specifically, 1966: Eric Berne. But where Lennon was in vogue was downsizing mind games from social interaction to couple culture, building up from demolishing the band to Janov's groundzero to circling the wagons with Mother. And so goes JL in his last decade, becoming less & less relevant (because "Screwyou, I'm here for Yoko"): downsizing universal love from 1967 to couple culture in the Me Decade. That's just how it was: he made a choice. (Historians looking for accuracy can't be positive all the time even about heroes. We get a choice too: between fanboy or historian, but we can't credibly be both.)
Another message from 4-dman about how less relevant John was becoming…. Seems like every comment from you regarding Lennon has to have a negative spin to it. Jeez
@@4-dman464 Woebetide? Never heard that word before. Idk, it just seems like whenever Mazzy makes a Lennon video you always reach for the negative. For someone who was “becoming irrelevant” there certainly were a lot of newspaper articles asking where John Lennon was during the five-year hiatus… sounds like someone who was still very much in the public consciousness of people despite those years of inactivity.
@@marcusthompson5390 Sounds like you disagree with me. Not to rub it in, Marcus, but the press question could also be evidence of irrelevance, because if he's relevant, would they have to ask where the hell is he?
@@4-dman464 but if he was truly irrelevant, there wouldn’t be a care in the world where he’s at. Irrelevance is different from inactivity. They were asking for his inactivity because they cared, thus making him still relevant.
This guy made a good living …. WORKING AT A RECORD STORE!! The baby boom generation had it f’ing made. Especially the younger ones who didn’t face being drafted or fighting in Vietnam
I didn’t make much at a record store, but I loved that job. I eventually became a photo agent and was self employed for 36 years. Worked my ass off and loved it ✌🏼
I listened again a few weeks ago - still mediocre. Love the Beatles and John, but doubt thatI will buy any of these. I have the Lennon small cube box from around 13 years ago.
You will get this set. You always do. Because you are wealthy and have the wherewithal to do so. Other people would want this set, but unfortunately it is beyond their means. So they will settle for what they can afford. It doesn’t seem fair to me. Recording artists and/or their estates should make everything they release accessible to everyone.
See that’s unfair. A lot of it is “lifestyle choices”. I am completely sympathetic to someone who is a huge Beatles fan but is struggling just to make ends meet and thus cannot afford much or any of the music they crave. The economy throughout the world has been hit hard and many people are struggling. But there are also many of us who fall into that same category of living paycheck to paycheck who make “lifestyle choices” in that we sacrifice to obtain the music we want. For example, Mazzy mentioned he doesn’t have either of the two Tom Petty/Heartbreakers Uber Deluxe box sets that came out in the past four years. I have both in my collection but I don’t have Uber “All Things Must Pass” and will be sitting out on Uber “Mind Games”. Mazzy I believe has Uber “All Things Must Pass” and several other items I’d love to have in my collection. Choices.
Well you can think that way, and they can think differently. You get all the same music on both versions of the deluxe box set. Who knows, you might be able to stream all of the audio as well (though I doubt the hidden tracks will appear there). As well all know, life isn’t fair.
So , say I like Depeche Mode snd would love all the box sets of Exciter , Playing the Angel etc , …but , atm and the foresee able , I can’t afford them - but I’m glad they exist , maybe one day I will be able to get some of them , and in the meantime the artists , producers , factory workers, warehouse workers etc should be paid appropriately for producing the beautiful box sets by those that can afford to get them etc etc. …
At the time (1973) I found 'Mind Games' a weak album overall - although nowhere near as lame as the album that preceded it (Some Time in New York City) or pretty much everything that followed it. But the Lennon deluxe sets to date have been really exceptional, and so I hope that this one will do for 'Mind Games' what (for example) the 'Trouble No More' box did for some of Dylan's born again phase.
It’s not his best work There is a couple good songs on it but next to Somettime In NewYork I feel its his weakest Just my thoughts though!! Walls and Bridges would make a better choice!!
Firstly it's not that great of an album to begin with. Nowhere near Plastic Ono Band or Imagine. It only has one outstanding track and that is Mind Games. Think I'll just buy the 7 inch single.
He was an ass and he flamed out early, really by 1967, but I don't think he was a fraud, unless you mean he had no idea about politics yet thought he did.
@@MarkBarna1 you and recordhead are (respectfully) both wrong. lennon had plenty more stuff to do. he wasn't any more of a fraud or an ass than either of you (benefit of the doubt's being given). the guy just had the whole world watching him and judging him and his comeback lasted a few months instead of a possible few decades because an actual fraud, an actual ass murdered him.
Agree let people enjoy these releases that really enjoy them
Jethro Tull has the best box sets inmo.They’re all the same design and size and what a bang for the buck
