OTOH, Abbey Road. Holy Mother of F*ck.
Is that Holy Mother of F*ck Good or Holy Mother of F*ck bad?

Good. Though I'm listening for the first time in a long time and through a system that is quantifiably better than any I've had in the past.Is that Holy Mother of F*ck Good or Holy Mother of F*ck bad?
The really f***ing annoying thing is that they could have done it all in one, i.e. put both the stereo and mono mixes of the first handful of albums (as they have in the mono box) and just the stereo of the later ones.

For the price they are charging for stuff that has been selling for over 40 years they could have made the first albums doubles with mono and stereo versions.
Paramount is notorious for this -- first release the original Star Trek on VHS, then release it again on DVD using the crappy, faded and scratched unrestored film, then release a restored version on DVD with some mediocre CGI, no doubt be followed by a proper fully restored Blue-Ray version, with and without great/mediocre CGI.Yebbut there's money to be made, sadly...
Tony,
Can't you buy the remastered mono box set then the few albums you want in remastered stereo as single CDs, or are the new discs available only in box sets?
Joe
Good to know. I've definitely blown my pocket cabbage for music with the mono box set purchase, so I'll add the few new stereo releases I'd like sometime later, assuming these aren't also limited-run productions.That's what I'm contemplating doing. The Mono's are only available as a box set. I can then add the non-mono albums by buying the seperately available remastered stereo versions.
Joe,
I've spent way more than I should have, but I live so cheaply day-to-day (take the bus to work, pack a lunch, eat low on the food chain, etc.) that I have justified my prodigality.*

* Actually, not quite. I need to work a little longer to convince myself that $240 for 10 CDs was a sane buy.
