MFSL Beatles CDs


Have you heard of the "Italian" MFSL Beatles collection on CD? I understand that they may be fraudulent "bootleg" disks. Does anyone know about them?

There were no official Beatles MFSL CDs made...none...not in any country. There are always some for sale on Ebay and elsewhere claiming to be Japanese imports, Italian imports, whatever. They're all CDs that were made from the MFSL LPs (or who knows?? maybe just bootleg copies of the regular EMI CDs with MFSL packaging??). I think most were professionally copied, so when they say "not CDRs", they're being honest, but they weren't made by MFSL...they're all bootlegs, and very expensive ones at that. I'm pretty sure the same is true for all of those Beatles MONO CDs for sale. The mono CDs of Help, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper, White Album, etc...anything after the first four...they're probably nothing more than bootleg CD copies of the mono LPs.
I've heard stuff, maybe incorrect info. I guess they are a type of bootleg. At least, they are not officially MFSL CD releases. I heard they were from Japan and that someone supposedly got access to the MFSL masters they had used to create all the Beatles LPs. All the comments I've read say that the overall design is very professional and that they are the best sounding Beatles remasters available. They are on aluminum, not gold.
the readily available yellow submarine soundtrack and 1 were both remastered from the original tapes.

no new yet of a full scale remastering, but all imports are not legit
I bought an "Italian MFSL" Beatles CD from someone one Ebay and returned it. It was a CD-R and I could not tell one bit of difference from the regular CD I already owned. Don't bother.
