The Beatles Mono Box Set or The Beatles Stereo???

I bought the mono and then added Abby road and Let it be. To me the mono issues are just more rocking, the separation in the stereo mixes are interesting but weaken the musics impact.

The other than the sound the mono issues have amazing packaging of each disk. Japanese style recreations of the original lps including the inserts and sleeves. Really great for the price as these type things are usually $20 a disk.

buy both..its the beatles.

The Walrus is Paul

I've got both, but I most definitely find that I play the mono discs more often. If you do go for the mono box, you'll need to pick up "Abbey Road" and "Let it Be," as The Beatles didn't release mono mixes of those records.

Both the stereo and mono Beatles box sets are available at Amazon (not a reseller) for $130 which is a great price. Just be careful that you don't pick up a counterfeit copy which I assume isn't an issue when buying directly from Amazon. Here is an ebay article and a You Tube video showing what to look for in a counterfeit set.

Barnes & Noble has them for $185/$200 so I'm not sure if the discounted price is because the Beatles catalog will soon be available on iTunes or if this is just a temporary price drop.
