I think that when the dust settles it will be that IF they release these remasters on vinyl it WILL be from the digital masters. If so, I'll stick with the stereo and mono CD's. Besides, I'm pretty happy with the MOFI vinyl set anyway.

Jeff Jones CEO of Apple Records in the Rolling Stone mag says the reason the release date is undetermined is because of the time it takes to get the masters right. Maybe he is not referring to the original master tapes but if they were going to just use the digital mixdowns it would be easy.
