I was lucky enough to secure my mono box set yesterday at Borders. They had one copy and I was paying for it as the clerk took a call from another Borders store asking if they could hold it for another customer. I haven't cracked the seal yet.

I bought the stereo box set as well and played a few tracks of Abbey Road on the F80 in my office and quickly compared it to the 1987 CD. Two words came to mind: Huge and Clean. The 1987 CD was coming from the F80 and 2009 CD surrounded the F80 and was crystal clear. I can't wait to do more listening.

The "rationale" for owning both sets has sort of been answered. The Beatles actually produced both mixes but in many cases, they didn't use the same tracks for both mixes. The differences are listed in the materials in the mono box set.

OT: I also played Day Tripper on Rock Band. It was the first Beatles song I learned on guitar when I was a kid. I'm done now. My guitar plays better.
