Past Masters Remastered

It’s “ring out the old, ring in the new” for the Past Masters set. Back in 1988 they were two individual discs with an ugly-looking Beatles-logo, but they’ve nailed it this time around:
Now that’s a lot better! Some people seems to have been fooled to order both the above CD and Past Masters Vol. 2, we notice over at the amazon store. No need to! The new Past Masters is a double disc, containing both Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 of the 1988 release, but in remastered form. Besides, some songs that appeared in mono on the previous Past Masters Vol 1 are in stereo on the new Past Masters.
The mono boxed set will include a “Mono Masters” album, equivalent to the Past Masters discs. No art has been released for it, but they’ll probably use the cover for Past Masters Vol. 2 as inspiration for that one, is my bet.
