replacement for MOFI beatles box set

Hello all,

a while back my wife said to sell the box set to fund a weekend getaway. Of course I duly obliged. Now she’s regretting it and wants me to replace the box set.

Not willing to spend that chunk of change for the MOFI ( plus I’ve always thought it a tad bright ), does anyone have any experience with the new re-issues out there. Doesn’t have to a box set ( I’ll buy single slabs of vinyl but the sound quality has to be very close to that of the MOFIs ). Vinyl only of course.

Appreciate any advice

Cheers, Crazy Bill

In 2009+ they remastered all the Beatles albums. I thought I had rebought them for the final time, then came the Gils Martin Remasters and I’ve bought them to!

All the best!

Yeah, the Beatles MoFi boxset is not a keeper. I had all the individual LP’s, the price I got for them greatly exceeding the price I paid for the mono boxset ($300 at the time).

But ya know, the original Parlophone stereo pressings (which I bought new in the late-60’s/early-70’s) are not that rare or expensive. I’d rather have them than the stereo boxset. Oh yeah, I do ;-) .
