Beatles CD box set

Hello all,

Normally a vinyl only guy, but looking to procure a CD Box Set to play with my wife.

Thinking of this :   The Beatles The U.S. Albums CD Box Set – The Beatles Official Store

Anybody have any experience with this or any CDs coming from this website.

Speakers are full range single driver, and headphone listening will be through a Stax rig, so if the CD mix is bright it will be tough to take.

 

TIA for any insight.

Cheers,          Crazy Bill

Bright? No EQ?

Not familiar with the set Wino mentions, but do like/own a box set from 2009 that's good.

They are remastered well (like cleaning a dirty LP and replaying it with a better/fuller sounding cartridge) and not like the weird EQ remix stuff MFSL has done in the past to classics.

Bad recordings/great music are the 2 BBC double CD sets I have.

Wasn't into their early stuff much until I heard these live recordings.

I like (and have) the Mono Box

The 09 version isn't bad but I would be more inclined to purchase the latest remixes from Revolver on as I think they are so much better and maybe the Red double for earlier songs or the first 2 in mono and the 09 for the remainder. Hope that helps happy listening
