Big question. Are the stereo remasters going to use crossfade to eliminate the hard stereo from the 1987 masters or are they going to preserve the hard stereo?

That was what I meant with my question above but not just as simple as a basic crossfeed circuit. I was thinking more like a total butchering of the original mix where some instruments are put mid-left some mid-right, some eqd to sound like its at the rear, etc... hehehe Purists wont like ity but if the experts know what they are doing, we could get a modern sounding beatles box set Of course many audiophile ears plus Ringo and Paul will also have to like it before they put it out :d

Exactly. The stereo versions of Rubber Soul and Help will have the 1987 remixes that were done for the original CDs and the mono discs will have the original stereo mixes in addition to the mono mixes.

so the stereo box set will have old stereo mixes except for the 87 Rubber Soul and Help while the mono box will have all mono plus ALL the old stereo? wow, so that mono box set will be so much more expensive with all the discs in it

So guys I have the 24bit USB Apple files on my computer and alot of the recording has that hard panning discussed in this thread. Would you guys recommend converting the stereo sound to mono?

Flattening out the stereo is not the same as the mono. The mono recordings are completely different mixes, optimized for mono.

Honestly, I think the general consensus of the stereo set being the one to get is wrong. I think the mono set is much better, but you would have to supplement it with the stereo versions of Magical Mystery Tour on.

By the way, it appears that most third party sales of Beatles boxes on eBay and Amazon marketplace are bootlegs. The only way to tell is to look at fine details in the typography and the kind of sleeve used in the jackets.
