Beatles Remasters: Mono vs. Stereo Debate Thread


On September 9th, the entire Beatles catalog will be released in both mono and stereo remastered versions.

The issue of this thread is simply mono or stereo, and why? I only have the stereo CD versions that were available in the mid to late 1990s. I am too young to remember the original releases.

Until the albums are released, I'd like to get your take on the issue based on what has been on the market up to this point. After they are released, I'd like to hear from people who purchase either the stereo, mono, or both of the new reissues.

What are the pros and cons of the different mixes? Which do you plan on purchasing, if any? Discuss.

It's the Beatles. Get whatever you can. I've got a MFSL Beatle box and last night I played the second record of the White Album, first side for the first time!!! It brought tears to my eyes.It sounded so good. I couldn't believe it, in all these years I never pulled that record out of the box,not by design. I'm going to order the mono box set right now!!!
After a long time searching, I could find only one place that appears to still have mono box sets available, and that is CD Universe. Just a tip for anyone still trying to find a place to buy the mono version.
I ordered the mono set from cd universe. They told me they only had 10 orders for the mono set. A few days later they canceled my order.

All I could find was the Japan limited edition for $651 on CD Universe - that's probably about what the regular set will be going for on eBay come Xmas time if they really stick to their limited edition.
