I was at a Labor Day party this afternoon where the remasters were being played. Even the kids knew the words.

Will not buy - bad timing for Apple/Capital, but finally just got everything on CD.

Roma,

You should reconsider. These are noticeably better than the 1987 remasters.

My gf is drooling over this. I may have to sell my numbered copy of Rozz Williams' PIG to get it for her.

i am only picking up Beatles For Sale
i've got everything else on vinyl and CD

if money were no object i'd get that mono set

but yeah, i don't get boners for remasters; increase in fidelity = decrease in charm

*******. Not giving up Rozz Williams' last project before he died for anything! GF can fend for herself!

LOL we're a strange couple.

clearly.

What can I say, I love his collages, spoken word, and experimental noise. The most underrated artist of our age IMO.

^^ listen, right?

Sorry, but that stuff

Listened to Rubber Soul over lunch-stereo version, don't have my mono box yet. It is truly stellar. EMI really has done A+ mastering on this.
