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?

Shadorne: Would this be surprising? The same thing happened with the Rolling Stones remasters. They are just awful by comparison to the originals.

Sure wish they were in Hi-Rez or Blu Ray.
I am now thinking of waiting until after the reviews come out.

Record companies' marketing histories would indicate this is the natural progression. Dust up excitement for a CD version. Sell a boatload of CDs, and then when the CD sales decline release a high resolution version to juice more sales.

Like you, I'll wait for a Hi Rez version, whichever format that might be.

Vinyl should be out in November (for those waiting on a hi-rez version)
