Has anyone else pulled the trigger and pre-ordered one of the Beatles box sets. I am getting mine from Music Direct for $349 incluing tax and shipping.
After the Pink Floyd LP SQ disasters last year I was a little gun shy about buying the whole collection without any insight into how the SQ was so I decided to order the set and then an extra copy of Sgt Pepper. I can listen to Sgt Pepper and compare it to the the other versions I have (British EMI, MFSL and MFSL UHQR). If the SQ is up to snuff then I will open the set. If not I am sure I can either return or sell a sealed set. I missed out on the MoFI set back in the 80s and this is a limited run so figured I had better grab a set while I still could. I would have really hated myself if I sat back and waited for a review only to find out that they were all sold out by then.
The SQ on the recently released McCartney 180g LPs was very good so I am hopeful..... [-o<

Tom, I like you have a lot of Beatles LPs so I'm not going to buy it (at least that what I'm saying today LOL)
I've heard that they will release a Mono LP set, if so I'll be all over that one.

Why mono, cuz you're deaf in one ear you old goat.

I like that song with the long guitar note at the beginning. Is it "I wanna hold your hand?"

And Rich, is that a real question or are you just 'funning' us?

Guess we should bring this back to Tom's question - "No".

If you get close enough l can hit you with my cane

I don't think that's it, unless that's a different performance from the original hit in 60s? I'll figure out what it is when I go out thisafter...

From what I have read the mono set will be release some time in 2013.

I ordered Peppers, Revolver, Rubber Soul and Past Masters. I have MMT, Abbey Road and White Album on MFSL LPs (bought new way back when) and the Mono box set CD. Those 4 should hold me.
-
Thanks to Dave G for helping me remember the title of that song, it is "I feel fine." This was a big step forward for them, harmonically, rhythmically, arrangement, and using ear candy as a hook. Shades of great things to come.

I'm more interested in the mono set. I have the MoFi Beatles boxed set and a number of Capitol Records US stereo LPs.
When (and if) the 180g mono set arrives I will compare them with the three minty original UK mono Parlophone pressings I have of Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt. Peppers.
I may end up with the stereo set as well but that is a harder to justify purchase, what with all the various stereo Beatles LPs I have.

I have given this a great deal of thought and have decided to pass on both the stereo and mono 180g sets.
For me it boils down to the fact that both sets are cut from digital sources. So I would rather just stick with what I have and try to expand my collection of mono LPs and see about acquiring Help!, Magical Mystery Tour, and the White Album in mono on vintage vinyl.
