I think a better question is has anyone *bought* them yet?

I know they're not technically out 'til tomorrow, but some of you are magical like that.

I got the Stones one last week. I only listened to a few so far, and haven't compared the sound to anything, other than noticing they are mono, but my impression is they are certainly no better than the recent SACD hybrids (and why would they be?).
The packaging is the attraction, but the picture sleeves (and in some cases Decca "company" sleeves) seem to me to be approximations of the originals, not super exact facsimiles. The discs look like little 45s, and are black on both sides. However, the "labels" are all the same and no attempt was made to duplicate the original Decca labels.
