I have purchased the following Beatles remasters: Help, Abbey Road, White Album, Beatles for Sale, With tthe Beatles, Yellow Submarine, Hard Days Night, St. Pepper . That was all that was in stock. Once I have them on my computer I am not sure I will be using the actual cd's as I use my sonos music server via the MCD500.

I just received the final 2 Beatles remastered Cd's : Let it Be and Rubber Soul. All I can say is WOW... Rubber Soul is fantastic, I can't stop listening to it. Let It Be is also good but Rubber Soul is something special.

So is the overwhelming suggestion to get the Mono box set and then buy Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road and Let It Be in Stereo as they are not part of the mono set?

IMO, I'd suggest buying the mono box and pick and choose on the stereo versions. There are 5 or 6 mono versions that outshine the stereos (again, IMO).

Amazon has a "Gold Box" deal for the next hour -- $99.99 (save $77.50) on the stereo box set.
