Details of Beatles Vinyl Master Recording BOX Set?


I just inherited a complete box set of the Beatles Master Recording LP set. I see them on eBay fairly often for which they sell at $1,000+. How do these differ from any other boxed LP set?

Clearly the Master Recordings are superior, or at least that is how I understand it, but what makes it better?
Deeper grooves, better vinyl, better recordings? What is it?

Thanks,

Late post! I've only heard the Abbey Road MFSL LP and it was a crime. The high treble range is boosted to the point of thinning out the whole mix and all the magic is lost. I would have been extremely angry at having paid $60.00 for this (or worse, whatever the whole box listed for), getting home, and hearing this.

At least for Abbey Road, the UK Blue Box is actually a much better listen. That whole set was around $99 back in the 80s, and can still be had on eBay for around twice that or less.

Also, a common opinion that I second completely is that the German Magical Mystery Tour is the best version of that record.
Interesting! I am now very curious about the earlier records as interpreted by MFSL. I love the quiet vinyl and the half-speed mastering theory, anyway.
