Details of Beatles Vinyl Master Recording BOX Set?

Late post! I've only heard the Abbey Road MFSL LP and it was a crime. The high treble range is boosted to the point of thinning out the whole mix and all the magic is lost. I would have been extremely angry at having paid $60.00 for this (or worse, whatever the whole box listed for), getting home, and hearing this.

At least for Abbey Road, the UK Blue Box is actually a much better listen. That whole set was around $99 back in the 80s, and can still be had on eBay for around twice that or less.

Also, a common opinion that I second completely is that the German Magical Mystery Tour is the best version of that record.

I have been able to acquire both the MFSL set and the Blue boxed set from England. I like the early lps from the MFSL set better and the later lps sound better to me from the blue set.

Its so hard to get quite playing lps of the originals at a fair price and even harder to roll the dice and believe sellers on very expensive originals. I bought several and was burned. I have been lucky with buying low priced early pressing and believe these sound the best.

The advantage of the boxed set is good sound and most likely better and quite vinyl.

Interesting! I am now very curious about the earlier records as interpreted by MFSL. I love the quiet vinyl and the half-speed mastering theory, anyway.

In the early 90's when everyone here in NY was getting rid of LP's amongs the thousands of LP's I bought from a local store (St. MArks Sounds) was an entire collection of Japanese OBI pressings, maybe 14 titles in all.

I should compare them to the MFSL's I own.

I can imagine the guy who got rid of them wishes he hadn't.
