Just poached this from the Diverse website
" THE BEATLES LIMITED EDITION JAPANESE LPs
EMI in Japan are re-pressing the entire Beatles back catalogue. This includes the 15 previously released titles plus Let It Be….Naked. The 16 titles will be a one-off pressing and limited in number, and orders are being taken at the show. The prices are £25 for the single LPs and £35 for the double LPs. (£430 for a full set)
Japanese pressings are usually of the highest quality, on heavy vinyl with excellent sleeves....and collectors love the obi strips and other paraphernalia that usually accompanies a Japanese pressing. We have no information regarding the mastering of these LPs at present, and therefore we are assuming they’ll be utilizing the existing digital masters. "
might be interesting although I'm not that sure about the Jap pressings, what do others think?
