from NY Times:
''Apple Corps and EMI said that two new Beatles boxed CD collections of the material would also be released, one comprising all 14 CDs plus a DVD documentary collection, the other consisting of 10 albums’ original mono mixes plus two additional CDs of mono masters.''
Individually they are only being released in stereo, apparently. I was only interested in the prospect of mono for their records because most people only had one speaker back then anyway, and Pet Sounds for example was recorded in mono and originally intended by Wilson that it would sound the same anywhere you sat in the room... From what i've read the B's accounted for stereo in the mixdown but I would still love to hear it in mono, I like a good condensed sixties album. I don't want to be surrounded by the Beatles ffs, I want them to sound good from the kitchen while i'm having tea and toast
