Yeah, I’m curious about the mono discs, which I think are available only as a boxed set. Nobody ever said these guys aren’t shrewd marketers.

I gave in and bought Rubber Soul through Abbey Road (minus Yellow Sub and MMT), and so far, the White Album remaster seems to be the best, though Revolver gives it a run. Not only that, but they’ve finally made the White Album look a bit like the original – the cover is embossed, rather than just a black printed ‘The Beatles’.
I’m due to hear the mono remasters in the near future… we’ll see how they compare.

Just give in. It’s inevitable, like the eventual moment when the earth plunges into the sun.

Bill,
I’ve been wondering about what to do. Last time I wondered like this it was about do I buy original Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris bobbleheads from the 1960’s. A few days later, I bid for and got The Mick. A year later, I added Roger. And I’m so glad I did.
Looks like I’m headed for the same fate with the Beatles.
For me, they make up the Fab 6.
