Do you plan to buy The Beatles CD remasters?

And if so, will you be going for the stereo or the mono? The release is close enough now -- 09/09/09 -- that I'm starting to get pretty excited about this -- though I'm really not sure which to get. Maybe both? Nah, that would be awfully excessive, wouldn't it? But, we are talking about The Beatles, after all, so maybe ...
What are your thoughts?

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.

The Capital release a few years back was the worst reissue and transfer to digital I ever heard :-) mono or stereo.

Hevac1, That is in your opinion of course.
I disagree. The first disc really sounds great!

Nice system Ozzy. Maybe they do sound good on your system. They sounded lean and edgy on mine.
