Do you plan to buy The Beatles CD remasters?

Bongofury,
I am confused, are you talking about current releases or original releases?
As far as I know the mono's are original mono's and not mixed down. Even the White album has an origial mono mix and a stereo mix, after that they were all stereo.

amazon's price is affected by preorders...more preorders, lower price.

Just placed the pre-order for the stereo mixes.

John Lennon is on record as saying that mono was the way to listen to the albums, especially he was fond of Pepper in mono, saying, "You've never heard Pepper until you've heard it in original mono." All their albums were originally recorded in mono until the White album. They were later adapted and released in some form of stereo as the format evolved.

If Mono was the only choice, I would pass.
The Capitol Box set issued a few years back with the first 4 Albums in stereo is FAR superior to the original Mono releases.
