Well elusive disc just took my order, we will see.

I ordered 3 mono sets plus a few individual stereo cds from Amazon. Got the following email, which I assume means it's not shipping until 9-9. Called the number, and the woman had no clue at all about any of it.

thanks Tpy --had just checked you are correct--called the beatles --so I cancelled the white album thanks again

Ras422 -- You're post saying that the White Album is not part of the stereo boxed set scared me (since I ordered the set). So I checked the Amazon site and it is listed as part of the set. Thing is, the official name of the White Album is simply "The Beatles" and it's listed as part of the set. It's easy to cancel an order from Amazon if you don't want to have two copies of that one.

Thanks for posting this. It got got me off my behind and got a preorder in. Now, we'll see if I actually get it as I have been burned on pre orders before.

I ordered the stereo box set on amazon as well as the white album which is separate from the stereo box set--very good price on amazon 30% off--hope it sounds really good or it goes back to them !!

I am locked in for my set, but I think EMI/Apple is insane to have a limited offering of the mono pressings. Surely, they are just testing the waters.

the mono boxes were allocated. some retailers such as amazon have already sold through their allocation. street date at retail may be the last day they will be affordable.

The stereo box may not be a limited edition. The discs are also being released individually. The mono discs are only available in the box set. I have two on order and plan to buy the stereo discs one at a time.

Seems like there is a stereo box set version as well as mono box set? according to Best Buy web site.
Might be worth buying 3 or 4 just to stick on Ebay later on.

I just bought the set @ B&N.

I hope they sound good.

The Mono Remasters are also still available at Best Buy. I wouldn't wait too much longer if you're thinking about getting a set.

As of now (8:45 pm EDT), still available at Barnes & Noble for preorder.

The Beatles will probably be for sale again when the Michael Jackson estate is settled.
