New Beatles Box Sets


I've been holding off buying any Beatles cd and I'm hoping these new releases will finally give this material their due in the digital arena.
Can anyone comment on the sound, packaging, etc.
Thanks

Considering that the recordings are 40 years old , I think they sound quite lively. Better in fact than the British CD's (mostly.)
But, I didnt expect much, so, I am not disapointed.

If I am not mistaken, the Beatles CD's made the CD format take off.

Just think, of the Beatles pristine Master tapes perhaps hidden inside of Yoko's secret trunk. Yoko thinking she was keeping solo recordings of herself to be played back for her cat upon her death . Only to discover the Beatles unequalized first generation sessions!

Using the various high tech remastering techniques recreating the sound quality of the instruments from that era avaialable in SACD...
What that could do for the SACD format.
