Best sounding Beatles albums


I'm looking for Beatles on vinyl to replace the original pressing records my aunt lent me some years ago (She wants 'em back, so to speak). I was going to go for some of the new Japanese pressings but after reading reviews from Fremer, etc. I am thinking this is not the best route.

Does anyone know what the best sounding pressings are (not the individual titles) and where to get them? Also if anyone has info on how much they should go for that would be helpful too.

As always, thanks fellow A'goners for any useful info. THis continues to be a great sight and forum.

I have the MFSL version of Abbey Road and the Blue Box version too. In my system, which consists of all tube gear and a VPI Aries II Black Knight, the MFSL version sounds distant and is quite bloated in the bass. I prefer the Blue Box version by a large margin.
