Yep @slaw, the MoFi Beatles LP’s are not so hot. I sold all mine too, which more than paid for the mono boxset. The MoFi Beatles were done in the early days of the company, mixed and mastered by a now-deceased engineer who was a bass player and had a propensity for boosting low frequencies all out of proportion. But imo The Beatles recordings are not all that good anyway, and can be made to sound only so good. The music shines through in spite of that.
The MoFi production chain has been vastly improved since that time (thanks to Tim de Paravicini), and the guys now doing their mixing and mastering (Ryan K. Smith in particular) are really, really good. Their current catalog is mighty fine.
