Beatles Box Sets Update

Inwanw,
Maybe my information was incorrect. This is what I was told by a dealer but who knows?

From Acoustic Sounds

"Due to misinformation we received previously, we erroneously announced that this Mono Box Set would be numbered edition. These copies are not numbered. But they most definitely are very, very limited! We will be happy to cancel the orders of any customers disappointed that the sets are not numbered, but be aware: We are without question going to sell out of every single copy of these that we receive, so think twice before canceling. We're sorry for the misunderstanding.

More News: EMI has not furnished us with our complete initial order of these Mono Box Sets. We've received enough copies to ship to those customers who placed their orders before August 17. EMI tells us we'll receive the rest of our Mono Box Set order in early October, at which point we'll ship to the rest of our customers."

I just cant wait to fire up my mono cd player! That one tube...ohhhhhh....and the power I'll save(50%)! I think I'll start wearing a patch on one eye! My wife had mono- she hated it, but what does she know.

How does the box set compare to the individual remastered releases scheduled?

Matchstikman, Only the stereo versions will be individually released or you can buy the stereo boxed set. The mono versions will not be individually released, so you must buy the entire mono boxed set to obtain them. As far as sound quality, there shouldn't be any differences between the stereo boxed set and the individual stereo releases. However, I would venture a guess that people will be selling the monos as individual units on ebay at an exorbitant price.
