What an exciting opportunity for me to buy these songs again, but this time in a lesser audio format.

It's good for the kids, though. They don't own the original vinyl in mono like me (he said snootily).

I've still got my original vinyl from the 60's, including several doubles and the entire catalog on CD as well - so no big for me. But being the huge fan I am and always will be, I'm glad more generations can have access to their wonderful music.

I also just came back from Vegas where my wife and I saw the Circ du Soleil "Love" at the Mirage; I bought the sound track from the show on CD already. It was very creative and the show had a bitchin' sound system

U gotta just go out and buy the Mono CD's. They're so amazing. I've got Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt. Peppers.

The Beatles were present and involved with the mono mixing. They were not involved with the stereo mixing which was done rather hastily.

The two sound different when compared.

Perhaps you are familiar with the bassist of the Beatles?

"YOU" can buy the same song as often as you wish.

In the 60's, the BBC broadcast in mono and AM radio was in mono so that is how those record were intended to be heard. They were mixed very carefully for that format and then the stereo versions were often done after the Beatles had left- some say rather haphazardly. To many peoples' ears, the bass and drums sound particularly forceful in mono.

Songs like "Paperback Writer" sounds absolutely ripping in mono.

Try to find Tool on iTunes. Once I found out Apple charges you to download the songs again TO THE SAME account and/or device I have never bought music on there again. You can download already purchased apps all day, but music is only once. I had a pc almost die and had to do a data backup and rebuild and Apple wasn't pleasant to deal with.
