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?

I have heard some Beatles being played in HMV - it sounded new and all jazzed up. I suspect they were previewing some of the new masters (like movie trailers).

FWIW: It sounds awful it is like everything sticks out too much and there is no subtlety anymore. If this was what I think it was (a preview) then I am not impressed by the heavy handed EQ that was applied.

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.
