Stones and Beatles MFSL CD's?

What is the deal with the Beatle's "Abbey Road" that was supposedly pressed on a Japanese CD under license from MFSL? These were pressed several years ago. I've seen many similar listings on e-Bay over the last few months.

There are a bunch of MFSL BEatles CDs being sold now, but as far as I know all are frauds. They may be professionally manufactured, but I am postive that none are made from the original master tapes. They are more than likely nothing more than digital copies of the LPs. I haven't heard them, so some may actually sound better than the old EMI/Capitol CDs (if they're done right, with good equipment), but I wouldn't pay the outrageous prices that they're asking. $400+ for the set!!?? That's ridiculous.

Thanks for the info, Phild. Happy Tunes!

Thanks everyone.......I thought they must be too good to be true but I'd also like to know how these sellers can knowingly perpatrate such fraud!

Because they are crooks.
