Beatles albums on MFSL CD's


I have been seeing a bunch of Beatles CD's for sale on eBay that are supposed to be Japanese MoFi CD's. They are usually described as a "mini LP CD". The CD "HELP" has the MFSL# 1-105, which is not a numbering sequence of the original MFSL MFCD (aluminum CD) series, or the UDCD (Ultra Disc gold CD) series. Also, the packaging in the photo appears to be different from a genuine MoFi CD. What are these, as I have been told many times before that NONE of the Beatles library was EVER released on MoFi CD's?

Most likely they are CDs recorded from the Mo-Fi LPs and pressed by a CD plant...possibly in Japan, or anywhere else (or maybe burned on someone's computer somewhere?). The sound quality *could* be good if the process was done well, but they're expensive and it's a gamble.

Of course, they could be exact copies of the regular CDs with fancy artwork to fool people. You won't know until you buy them, and you won't have a return policy because they're bootlegs. Either way, they are definitely not legitimate releases of any kind.
