My take on the mono vs stereo thing is up to the white album I prefer the mono but Ive really only had the stereo on CD before. (I do have the mono British LPs somewhere). I went and bought both sets but the mono is coming in the mail and the stereo is playing on my office computer right now- it sounds good but thats via little dinky speakers.
Why would anyone buy both? Well thats just good marketing by the record company.
I saw a show where the hosts asked people on the street if The Beatles were selling out with this and the video game.
My 2 cents for what its worth: I think they are not really selling out. I think selling out means more than a minor sacrifice of artistic vision for commercial success. They are just giving us what we want. The place I think there is a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth is that they have the two box sets- why not just make it one set featuring both mono and stereo and charge just a few dollars more on it and be done with it. Then we could compare and have a definitive set. As it is, I will say this Abbey Road (my favorite Beatles album) sounds nice
