Comments:

In April 2006 this 'artwork', yes artwork, for the MFSL audio, was withdrawn, the Doc had always made it very clear that the UK Stereo catalogue was only an alternate artwork variation of his MFSL vinyl titles. The reason for the withdrawal was the rolling release of the 'Blue Box' stereo LP's which would only be available in the UK Stereo artwork. As a new title with old artwork this was NOT offered as a FREE upgrade.

It wasn't however until February 2010 that a version was released from a virgin first pressing of this very famous album as part of his Archive Series .

Release Notes:

The Ebbetts catalogue has always offered both the MOBILE FIDELITY and ORIGINAL UK STEREO versions of the British titles. Indeed, up until December of last year, the audio used in each of these sets were identical. The only thing that differentiated, for example, the MFSL version of 'Please Please Me' from the standard UK issue of the same title in the Ebbetts catalogue was the artwork. Otherwise, the two were identical. That changed with the December, 2005 Dr. Ebbetts announcement. Continuing with today's announcement, the MFSL audio masters will stay exactly as they have been, sourced from the actual MFSL vinyl releases. However, the standard UK stereo issues, complete with the original artwork, will slowly be phased in to have the BLUE BOX transfers used as their source material. To many, the MFSL CDs are the best sounding releases around ' but to others, they are too bright with a bit too much EQ on either end of the spectrum, as applied by the geniuses who master these things. To many, the BLUE BOX releases are smoother and more natural sounding and better represent the Beatles recorded work. That's up to you, of course, but soon, the BLUE BOX will stand to represent the original stereo UK titles.

These are NOT upgrades, unfortunately. These are brand new titles. HOWEVER, once the BLUE BOX set is complete, the MFSL set will be redone, complete with new artwork. Those upgrades will definitely be free. But that's for another time.
