Dr. Ebbetts Beatles CD's

Does anyone know about these CD's? I'm trying to get a mono copy of REVOLVER & RUBBER SOUL. The red Jap. mono vinyl is out of my price range.

I saw an auction on eBay, as follows:
GENUINE DR EBBETTS RELEASE

REVOLVER - JAPANESE RED MONO ORIGINAL CD

EAS 70136

******************************

Up for auction is a brand spanking new Dr. Ebbetts CD release - the Japanese Red Vinyl monophonic version of the Beatles' 1966 LP REVOLVER. This CD is soured directly from the coveted 1981 Japanese Red Mono Vinyl Collection, featuring what is now being talked about amongst collectors as the best sounding version of the original MONO REVOLVER LP available. This is an absolute genuine Dr. Ebbetts release, featuring the new full disc Ebbetts printing system, inserts and incredible audio. The clarity and sound here is the best available.

No paper labels, no cheapos. The real Ebbetts. Sharp, beautiful printing all around, top notch graphics. the best sound.

You will be receiving a brand new, never played, still in the original re-sealable sleeve copy of this Ebbetts release.

Is this an authorized CD-R, an Apple pressing, or a bootleg? I've never heard of "Dr. Ebberts"??? BTW, the CD went for $66.00

Agree with Cyclonicman.

There is at least one other reason people like mono. With a true mono record and tracking with a true mono cartridge you get less noise and pops than if played with a stereo pickup.

Stereo cartridges pick up from both side and bottom of the grooves, exposing noise the mono cartridge does not see.

The inital time spent on the mono mixes was much greater than the stereo mixes. It's possible the early stereo mixes were more of an experiment and perhaps seen as less important.

Arnold_layne, What is the difference between you giving someone a bootleg in exchange for another bootleg and someone else giving someone money in exchange for a bootleg?

Legally and morally, I think there is no difference. In each case one is giving something of value in order to receive a bootleg and the artist is getting nothing.
