Okay, I first heard of this project yesterday on Dr. Waldrep's blog (AIX Records), then today it popped up on my "Recommended" list on Amazon; I've preordered it.
The first two or three Beatles albums came out in Mono, and I recall reading that they started out on 3-track machines. So, any 5.1 mixes will be done via software/ProTools/algorithms/magic; but after reading the effort that was put into the video tracks above, it's probably worth having.
I consider my music library pretty extensive, but I have to admit I only have 4 vinyl disks of Beatles, the two "Greatest Hits" albums photographed in the same spiral staircase ("Red" and "Blue" albums?). So even if these 5.1 "mixes" are crap, the mono/stereo mixes on CD will be worth the price, for me.
