If they're so concerned about preserving the band's intentions, then why are they bothering with re-releasing the Capitol albums at all? The band didn't like them in the 60s and made the British catalog universal almost 30 years ago. I know some people are still nostalgic, but '87 should have been the end of it. Why reintroduce this crap? And I guess it's nice that they're releasing them individually since there's a lot of overlap with the two box sets from 2004 and 2006, but I feel sorry for the sap who mistakenly picks up a copy of Revolver with 11 tracks.
All that said, the cynic in me is imagining that the reason they're using the 2009 masters is so that they can "celebrate" the 60th anniversary with a set of the correct Capitol versions.
