    Um, it's worth hearing, but I wouldn't buy it. It's pretty inventive with the material, but I would rather hear some state of the art remasters and alternate mixes of the material. In other words, more Anthology type-stuff, What I'd also love to see, one day, is a site where the songs are streamed, but you can play with a virtual mixing desk and get your own sound. For example, say there's a stream of Strawberry Fields Forever: for example, you could rearrange the mix of instruments, or just hear the vocals ... that'd be good!



    thanks for the summation fins,much appreciated. :)
    i see what you're saying absolutely. interesting idea for streaming site too, kinda cool. :cool:

    uhhhhh... the 5.1 listening experience this provides, and subsequent fan-reaction there-of, is more worth it than anything else coming out this week. For sure.

    I'll admit I'm being selfish in wanting them to release all of their albums in 5.1, and therefore believeing this is a fore-bearer of them doing that. But even if they didn't, these songs in 5.1 are '>' than anything coming out this week and virtually anything else that came out this year....

    If you want to just brush it off like its nothing, I think you're wrong. I don't care how long you profess being a Beatles fan. I dare you to argue the worth of these songs being presented in 5.1 for the first time ever. I don't care if you don't care for the mix...

    "A consistently good band works all the different elements well. A song has to appeal sentimentally, intellectually, physically, viscerally, and dig deep down into your soul and suck you into it. And after that, of course, it'd be a matter of taste." ~ Kim Thayil from Soundgarden

    Damn Straight Mojopin. The 5.1 mix is amazing, one of the best I've heard. Amazingly clear, and engineered very well. This is what happens when you get someone who knows and loves the music to mix the surround version. It's similar to the Grateful Dead's Workingmans Dead or American Beauty, or the Flaming Lips DVD's. I'd love to see the rest of the catalog (or at least everything from Rubber Soul onwards) mixed in surround.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    I got this for my fiance, and last night we sat there and listened to it beginning to end, and I was very impressed, not just with the excellent 5.1 mix, which EXPLODED on our speakers, but with the mixing itself. Nothing will ever change the originals, we will always have them, what's so wrong with this? It was done by George Martin, endorsed by the remaining Beatles, and is totally in spirit with the source material.
    To me, this is the most exciting Beatles event since the Anthology back in the mid-nineties. A really great record, that I would personally recommend to any fan of the Beatles.
