Hey Bubba,

what's your avatar from?

Should I buy this thing or wait for the real albums to be released?

It hurts but I'm not touching vol 2 til I get more reviews on amazon or here...In fact, I didn't get Volume 1 yet so maybe I'll go for that one since it seems to be the real deal as far as mono/stereo mixes.

[Daniel S.]

I have Vol.1, but I don't think I'll have the money to buy vol.2 for at least a few more months.

WEll, it's about time! To hell with the USA albums, I'll wait for the good stuff...

[Music Machine]

I would have considered buying a four cd boxed set of the U.S. versions of Help, Rubber Soul, Yesterday and Today (Butcher art restored preferably) and Revolver but as they are the two Beatles U.S. album sets don't interest me much and I'd rather wait for improved versions of the U.K. albums. Make it all sound as good as the Yellow Submarine Songtrack and include mono mixes if possible on the earlier stuff and I'd be a happy guy.

Crikey where have I been.

I knew nothing about this new release. Ive got the 1st volume , i'm looking forward to getting the 2nd . The sound was excellent on the first. The first real Beatle Cd's I've heard that sound good ( apart for the YS songtrack)
I think they could manage a 3rd box too

Y&T/ Revolver/ Sgt Pepper  And MMT

I know the last  2 are copys of the UK albums but it's an  ideal opportunity to put out Mono versions of them both. Also you'd get the original duophonic tracks on MMT if that turns you on.

Having said that I hoped Pepper would be getting a 40th anniversary box set treatment next year. But then I hoped the same for Revolver.. still not too late, didn't  it come out in Aug 66?

It would be great to get Mono Pepper and MMT on CD...the EP MMT in mono is way too much $$$$...But since the LPs are the same as UK it seems unlikely...

Other contenders are the Hey Jude, US Rarities & Hollywood Bowl.

I dont know why that cant just put all the LP's out as single CD's...Having mono/stereo of each LP separately...and maybe a few deluxe versions....Heck they have released 3 different CD versions of Live at Leeds and The Byrds Sweethear of the Rodeo...why not a guaranteed seller like the Beatles?

Good Point, sweetheart oTR and Live at Leeds seem to get a re-issue every 2 years
