Now it's interesting to hear them from time to time but I've heard it before.
This ties in with the "window opening" for me discussion.
I would rather listen to something new that allows me to keep going is some direction. |

Location: south east Michigan | I bought Abbey Road. I was pleased with the price of $12.99. I thought I'd pay more of a premium.
I am not much of an audiophile but even I can hear a difference.
In brief, it's like an audio version of Blu-Ray. |

Location: michigan | Thought I would push this one back to the top. I know they just decided to make more box sets both mono and stereo. In December 2009, EMI(Apple) released the USB Version of the Stereo Box set. It is a small steel Apple USB with the Green logo. The cool thing about it is than what is on the CDs). I had to load WINAMP off the web to play the FLAC versions, but WOW. Better than the 1/2 speed remastered vinyl (and I have a pretty good vinyl set up). You also get the MP3 versions of all the songs which are better (because the source was better than CD quality). Type in Beatles Box set USB to see/hear about it and read reviews. It is a little pricy at 299, howevear, they are only going to make 30,000 of these.
AMAZON.CA has them ( for $219) best price.
If you have been waiting, this is one to get. it didn't come out until Dec of 2009 and it is getting harder to come by. Enjoy |

They are cute and the USB Flacs do sound great.
Waskel, Amazon.CA has them but I got mine a while back from Music Direct. I think they still have a few in stock if you are really interested. |

Location: closely held secret | Not interested (already have them), but I checked right after rhoadsscholar's post and it said they had sold out of their allotment.
Oops, just reread your post. No, I didn't check .ca.
You're right, they still have them. |
