I will try to keep this to the point (it assumes a general knowledge of the box and its contents), but if there are any follow up questions I will be happy to clarify. I received mine earlier this week from Amazon.co.uk
price: I went for it when it was around 130 pounds. So knocking off the vat, the cheap shipping and credit card that doesn't pay foreign fees it came to around $175. From everything I could tell (from monitoring the 60s edition, which I don't have), that is the lower end of pricing which I would expect to show up from time to time on the various sights.
shipping: it had standard outer packaging but also came in a custom fit box that had a complete lining of styrofoam - very secure.
packaging: very nice as the promo video from dg shows (very similar to the 60s set from everything I can tell). In the big box there is a soft-cover, five replica session reports, and 82 discs contained in 4 separate containers. The single sleeves fit well enough, although the double album sleeves seem a little to snug. In general, the album art looks sharp (and even glossy). The book is nice enough with 3 three well-done (short) essays and complete track listings.
sound: there is no remastering info in the box, although from every indication it is the same as the Korean set (at the end of the book it says: "originally released in 2012 by Universal Music Limited, Korea"). Therefore, apparently not all of the set was remastered with the original bit processing (or whatever it is called)- unlike the 60s set. [There is a good review of the remastering of the korean version on amazon.com by Craig - and I have to agree - the sound on St. Matthew Passion is awesome despite there apparently not being any recent remastering (which is not one would expect from reading reviews of the 3cd set on Amazon]. I am listening to the Bruckner 7 right now which is listed as being remastered and it sounds better than what I remember the old one sounding.
minor quibbles:
- the book doesn't list the production dates (only the recording dates. And for the double albums the production dates isn't on the back either. Along these lines it is hard to peg down where the extra vivaldi comes from on the two vivaldi discs (not that I am complaining about extra music).
- most probably won't care about this one, but a few albums (beethoven's 5, and 7; a R. Strauss; Schoenberg; and an early Tchaikovsky symphony) do not have original albums (for each there is a picture of the album in the book), there tracks being put on other albums. So you have the situation where one of the Strauss albums is part of the 'original's series' but the "album" is not in this box. I would have preferred if they tried to reduce a couple more of the mahler and bruckner to one album (some are and some aren't) or if this was not possible to add a few more cds (they certainly would have fit in the containers).
- at least a couple of the albums have blurry liner notes on the back (I am thinking of the beethoven symphonies).
my verdict: it would have been nice if Universal had tweaked and enhanced the Asian version a little more, but overall this is a very nice box set.

I have the 1960s set, and while I don't have any problems with the
mini-LP format and its short disc timing (truth be told, I actually find
listening in forty-minute blocks somewhat more convenient), I am puzzled
by a few of the layout choices. For example, Beethoven's 9th is spread
over two discs in the dumbest way. If I recall, the first movements are
on one disc, then the last movement is on another. But it isn't the
first track on the disc. Also, though the Beethoven overtures discs are
presented in a gatefold sleeve, other multi-disc recordings (Haydn's
Creation, etc.) are presented in two separate sleeves with an identical
cover. And whereas the single disc albums have the microscopic notes on
the back, the multi-disc albums have no notes. The backs of those
sleeves are just blank. If they were really committed to the format,
they'd have been housed in a miniature cap box with a paper leaflet
inside with tiny text.
Trivial stuff, though. The music's good and the price is excellent.

made a little cap box with paper sleeves to put inside the big box of 82
discs. It would have been a lot of effort for something trivial, but it
would make more sense than two separate sleeves with blank backs.
I don't have any two-disc sets in cap boxes, but I do have a few
three-disc sets in cap boxes with paper sleeves, so I think it's
technically possible. Again, I'm just being silly here taking the
mini-LP concept to its most extreme conclusion.

And there is a typo for the Mutter Beethoven concerto (cd 74) with no year provided for the recording. I am assuming, though, that it was in 1979 following the chronological sequence.

I have had several such problems. Amazon USA requested that I return
the offending box sets with their prepaid mailer. However, in one case
amazon.de allowed me about $7.- postage when the actual cost was about
$40.-. There went my bargain. Most companies do not keep single discs
in stock, so a missing or dupe CD means that the entire box must be sent
back. On another such occasion, Amazon.de was kind enough to tell me to
keep the box or donate it to charity, as the return postage was not
worth it to them. I thought that that was very nice of them.
I therefore inspect the CD numbers and playing surfaces carefully
whenever a new disc or box of discs arrives. Yet, at as low as $2.- per
disc, we cannot expect perfection.

Mort Linder

For the 1970s box I found official 250 px cover images here:

Unfortunately the resolution is quite inferior to the 500 px images available for the 1960s box:

calling the flaw to our attention since it may well be a while before I

Concerning another box set, I received e-mail from amazon.ca that they

I have the Korean version, but I am working out-of-town and therefore am "away" from my collection/library/man-cave for a while. Can't check it for a few weeks.

send it back (as someone reported) I wouldn't be sad. I'd be pissed
and never do business with them again. That's why I like Amazon. It
might take a few shipments of multiple boxes (on their dime) but I
think you'll eventually get the correct CD or your money back.
I personally have no problems making a CD-R of a disc I know someone
rightfully owns, regardless of the "legality" in our respective countries.

I got mine from Amazon.co.uk and it was fine. I could send you a scanned copy of the album art if you are still interested.
A while back I contacted DG directly regarding a corrupted track from an album in the Complete Brahms box. I was hoping that they would let me download a lossless version, but instead they wanted me to mail them the disc to Berlin, which wasn't ideal for me at the time.
Since this is evidently a widescale problem maybe DG can work it out with Amazon to send the disc in question, as opposed to having everyone send their box back. (I thought I remembered Hank Drake mentioning that this occurred when a similar situation happened with the Rubinstein box....but I can't find it now in his amazon review).

I don't see your email address but if you could post it in "code" (masking it somehow so that trolling software doesn't pick it up and send you junk) then I can email it to you. (and/or you can delete your post I believe after I confirm that I get it)

ImportCD's told me to return the box for full refund. They don't do exchanges. So I wrote DG. Today I received a reply:

Another tip if you want to post a photo free, and you're on Twitter,
is to tweet the photo to yourself in a directed tweet, then make a
note of the URL for the picture, and post that URL.
I used Dropbox, which gives you 2GB free, and you can right click on
any of your files and get a public direct link.

Hi Steve, My post was assuming you had already scanned them all, so sorry about that. Please don't go to the trouble just on my account.
And thanks about the info regarding the scanners. My scanner (an HP office jet 4500) did a great job with the back covers from the Van Cliburn and Fleischer sets. I cranked up the DPI over a thousand and the text came out crystal clear. Also, the file size wasn't that bad since they are black and white. For the front covers I also have a high DPI but then I use publisher to crop and save as a jpeg which gets the file size to the 200 kb range.
It works quite nice in my attempts to digitize everything, but for some reason the scans go all blurry with the extra small font on the back covers of the Karajan. I guess I will try again whenever I upgrade my scanner (an added benefitted of having suitable scan of the back covers is that one can actually read them without getting a headache).
Thanks again,
Mike

And thanks about the info regarding the scanners. My scanner (an HP office jet 4500) did a great job with the back covers from the Van Cliburn and Fleischer sets. I cranked up the DPI over a thousand and the text came out crystal clear. Also, the file size wasn't that bad since they are black and white. For the front covers I also have a high DPI but then I use publisher to crop and save as a jpeg which gets the file size to the 200 kb range.
It works quite nice in my attempts to digitize everything, but for some reason the scans go all blurry with the extra small font on the back covers of the Karajan. I guess I will try again whenever I upgrade my scanner (an added benefitted of having suitable scan of the back covers is that one can actually read them without getting a headache).
Thanks again,
Mike
