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 too have all the beatles vinyl from my youth in the 60's and all only played once..
As Vanila Ice said (Just Dupe It)if needed to CD
Of course if you don't have all the original Vinyl then it would be a go.

Like the other posters, I have the original Capitol rainbow, Parlophone, and Apple releases so my interest is minimal.

Abbey Road may be a consideration as I collect different copies/versions of that album/cd.

It appears this may be a great opportunity for those who don't have the original Capitol/Apple/Parlophone releases.

However, the recordings are sonically quite average up to Rubber Soul; there's just not a lot there to remaster IMO.

I plan to buy a few and see if they're truly superior to existing versions. The new remasters of the first four British albums can't NOT be better, but I have good-sounding versions of some of the later ones, i.e. Japanese pressings, special editions, and even two of the original CD issues ("Help" and "Rubber Soul" were both ADD and sound pretty good).
