MFSL - Beatles Box

I know some of the record afficiandos don't love this set, but to me it's sublime. I have wanted one since buying my first MFSL Beatle album, and I finally bit the bullet, bid up and got one for what I feel was a great price.

I couldn't be happier, the vinyl is in sublime shape.

No, it's not the Japanese mono versions, which I have heard a few of recently, but I still think they are stellar.

An all Beatles weekend is in store.
