Not on the artistic side. The Beatles have always sucked imo. They were far less talented than the Stones, the Kinks, the Who the Animals.

Let It Be and Abbey Road won't be released in mono. No mono mixes were ever made for those albums. And I think Past Masters will also only be available in stereo.

The substantial differences in the mono and stereo White album mixes are -
Back In The U.S.S.R.
The airplane overdubs occur in different places on the mono and stereo versions.
Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da
The stereo version has hand-clapping during the intro, the mono version does not.
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
The stereo version has some vocal sounds from George at the end, the mono version does not.
Blackbird
The bird sound effects are quite different between the stereo and the mono release.
Piggies
The pig sound effects are quite different between the stereo and the mono release.
Don't Pass Me By
The mono version is much faster than the stereo, and therefore is shorter.
The violin sounds at the end are markedly different.
Why Don't We Do It In The Road
The stereo version has hand-clapping during the intro, the mono version does not.
I Will
The stereo version has more prominent bongos.
Birthday
The stereo version has extra vocals at the end of the second chorus.
Sexy Sadie
The stereo version has two taps on the tambourine during the intro, the mono version only has one.
Helter Skelter
The stereo version has a fade-out/fade-in dummy ending with Ringo's shout of "I've got blisters on my fingers", the mono version does not ! ... this makes the stereo version almost a minute longer.
Long, Long, Long
The stereo version is fine, but on the mono, George's double-tracked vocal is embarrassingly out of synch.
Honey Pie
The stereo version has a shorter guitar solo than the mono version.

I get the feeling that a lot of people on this board are more excited about the Beatles remasters than the Stones remasters. Still trying to get my head around that one!

That's because this is the the fourth time people will be buying the same Stones albums - vinyl/CBS CDs/Virgin CDs and now these new ones. No extras, probably crapola packaging.

Universal are applying a fresh lick of paint to a decenly painted catalogue anyway; The Beatles are, it would seem, getting a full gloss finish on what was really only an undercoat back in '87.

Okay, how about this: They didn't write any of their own HITS.
