Do you plan to buy The Beatles CD remasters?

And if so, will you be going for the stereo or the mono? The release is close enough now -- 09/09/09 -- that I'm starting to get pretty excited about this -- though I'm really not sure which to get. Maybe both? Nah, that would be awfully excessive, wouldn't it? But, we are talking about The Beatles, after all, so maybe ...
What are your thoughts?

No. I have never liked the Beatles. I am not really a melody kind of person. I like music with some rhythmic complexity to it rather than simply a cute ditty.

"cute ditty"

Wow, so sophisticated....

Please don't be offended. The Beatles were fantatsic at melodies that you just can't get out of your head. It is great stuff. Just not my thing that is all.

I like strange stuff like this

I have heard some Beatles being played in HMV - it sounded new and all jazzed up. I suspect they were previewing some of the new masters (like movie trailers).

FWIW: It sounds awful it is like everything sticks out too much and there is no subtlety anymore. If this was what I think it was (a preview) then I am not impressed by the heavy handed EQ that was applied.
