So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets?

There are already about twenty new Beatles threads over the past few weeks - on Audiogon alone. Do a search.

its the beatles..they sound great..the songs are great...they are available to purchase. next.

In case you don't want to search the archives or maybe looking for new members comments. I will answer with that I am not a huge Beatles fan and have very few of their titles till now. I am glad I waited as so far I think these are the best sounding. I do think that I should try some of the mono copies as it seems that the Beatles have never been well mixed for stereo. In the few titles I have they always seem to be mixed stronger left or right and don't image as well as I would want. My opinion, probably not fact. But if I was going to collect Beatles cd's I am glad I have waited. As far as vinyl I haven't seen any pre-order stuff on Music Direct etc., but I would be very suprised if they miss this opportunity to sell the vinyl copies and help pay for the investment they have already made.
