Details of Beatles Vinyl Master Recording BOX Set?

I just inherited a complete box set of the Beatles Master Recording LP set. I see them on eBay fairly often for which they sell at $1,000+. How do these differ from any other boxed LP set?

Clearly the Master Recordings are superior, or at least that is how I understand it, but what makes it better?
Deeper grooves, better vinyl, better recordings? What is it?

Thanks,
Dan

Lets just hope the rumor of the entire Beatles catalog being remastered at a high bit rate are true and that it gets releases in vinyl.

Mapman,

Have you checked out the Capitol "remasters" of the early releases? Granted its on CD but each disc includes mono and stereo versions. Not bad. But we await the upcoming remaster and hope for vinyl!

If you like Rubber Soul, the only mono version is in the Capital box set. THe stereo versions are quite annoying with the voice on one speaker only - thanks to "Sir" George on that one!

Has anyone heard anything about the on going remaster that is supposedly taking place? It was anounced by N. Aspinall (sp?) in court during the Apple vs. Apple case so it must be true!

BTW, I have near mint copies of MFSL White Album and MMT and they really are not much better than my early 70's NM versions.
