1. I'm getting this for Christmas

My best friend and I are both Beatlemaniacs from way back when and we've both convinced our wives to get it for us for Christmas. I can't freaking wait!

2. The remasters are every bit as good as the hype surrounding them...

...especially the later stuff like "The White Album."

You're gonna LOVE it.
