    Click the URL and doesn't offer more informations regarding mastering. One must assume they are the 2009 remasters.

    What about Beatles SHM-SACDs, flat transferred from 24/192 PCM masters to DSD? That would be something! :love:

    At least collectors will enjoy that they now get Abbey Road and Let It Be in mini-paper sleeves to put them alongside those in the mono box! :)

    Really hope they'll be ORIGINAL stereo mixes. Since we have the excellent mono box, and the 2009 stereo box included the 1987 remixes of 'Help!' and 'Rubber Soul'

    I hope they don't release these in SACD, because I will have to purchase them.

    No interest in these unless they do an SACD in true hi-res.

    Weren't these previously released as SHM-CDs? Jeez, I can't remember. CD Japan refers to them as "reissues."

    No kidding! This year, have already purchased both the mono and stereo vinyl Beatles box sets, a new turntable, and have on order the coming Springsteen box in both CD and vinyl. Do not see buying these SHM-CDs; I have to draw the line somewhere. :D

    would be nice if these were SACDs but if it's just going to be the same 24/44.1 stuff, these will hold very little appeal for me

    Man, this is how they should have been released in the first place back in 2009!

    This set needs a black box the same size as the white mono box.

    If there was a promo box, I might just consider these. Trying to store a bunch of loose cardboard sleeves can be frustrating, but a box would just about make it worthwhile.

    No US Capitol albums in SHM-CD? No sale...

    Sixteen Beatles albums will be released as SHM-CD reissues in Japan for the first time on December 17, 2014. Each album features the high-fidelity SHM-CD format and the 2009 digital remasters. The cardboard sleeve faithfully replicates the original LP artwork and is made in Japan. Comes with two booklets (description & lyrics) each written in English and Japanese. Contents of these booklets are the same with the ones of the booklets included in the remastered edition released in 2009. This series features the following albums "Please Please Me," "With The Beatles," "A Hard Day's Night," "Beatles For Sale," "Help!," "Rubber Soul," "Revolver," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," "Magical Mystery Tour," "The Beatles," "Yellow Submarine," "Abbey Road," "Let It Be," "Past Masters," "The Beatles 1962-1966," and "The Beatles 1967-1970." Buy all The Beatles 16 mini Japanese LP SHM-CDs in a limited bundle for just £499.00.

    The only reason to get excited about these is if you want mini-lp replicas of the stereo albums. Otherwise it's just a repackage of the same audio that's been available since 2009. Best not to look for things that aren't there.

    Gonna ask a potentially naïve question, but... Do we know if Let It Be will have the gatefold?
