The Rumor is that the "Loves You" box is going to be completely reconfigured, with the stuff available elsewhere being (at least, in part) replaced by more rarities. We haven't heard anything more definite, and Jeff Tamarkin is keeping quiet, for now, at BMG's request.

I was browsing thru the Collector's Choice Music site and came across four different issues of "Surrealistic Pillow"--all with different list prices. One listed as "remastered" has both mono and stereo versions [But that's probably the old BMG version]. Another offering is the one listed in the above ICE aritcle. Anyone picked up any of the remasters? Oh, here's the CCM page:
