    It was the lack of Hey Jude remix that did it! :laugh:

    In my fevered imagination, I saw Schnitz as being like that Dennis Hopper character in 'Speed', gloating in his dark room as he watched the chaos he created. And that same look of horror when he was caught out. But Maccawings offer to share the listening experience moved me somewhat. Indeed that offer summed up the sense of real community we have here; despite our disagreements we share a genuine love of the music and the pleasure it engenders. So, it is a real shame that life got in the way, I wish him luck and hope whatever fammily issues are going on, he gets to enjoy the forthcoming release as much as the rest of us.

    Is his mix of '..Walrus' the one that introduces an orchestral sound on the fade out that WAS NOT there in the earlier mixes? It sticks out like sore thumb to me. Not sure if it was there originally but virtually inaudible and it's been brought forward for some reason. Every time I hear it I think "That should not be there". I'm surprised I've not seen more people mention it. It annoys me too! (I know it shouldn't!)

    How very lovely to wake up on a Sunday morning and witness such camaraderie! It's authentic and makes me proud to join in on this forum.

    I know this information is scattered throughout this thread but...

    In the US, is the 4LP pressed by Optimal or QRP? Is the 2 LP pressed by Optimal or QRP?

    Super excited for this release. I plan to get the super deluxe edition. I’ve never heard most of the Esher demos before and those plus the sessions discs are going to be a real treat. Hurry up November 9 November 9 November 9.

    I wish I could talk about the tracks and answer some questions from past days but I've been told to respect and wait for the right time, but I do can say that I'm doing the track by track or "side by side" review from this vs bootlegs and OH BOY, HUGE surprises, specially where you don't think it could none (CD 3). And I mean HUGE surprises, not just sound quality improvement.
    The review will be ready after some listening events in my area that the record company is planning for the media and some fans and will be published online and here as usual days BEFORE the release date.

    P.S. and for those folks here that have had the discs from many days now and haven't noticed what I'm talking about, DO NOT rush now and try to compare the disk I've told just to see what's is HUGE and post it here, if you haven't noticed at first or second or third listen, well, now you wait and don't spoil my review, it will be my turn now guys!:)

    I want to be clear that I don’t have the box yet but a friend let me listen to his copy. Suffice to say I can’t wait to get my physical copy of the super deluxe, and I think you’re all going to be extremely pleased when you get yours. It’s beautifully done and to my mind surpasses the Pepper box.

    Please take my comments about compression with a grain of salt, too. I realized when I woke up this morning that what I said yesterday could be construed as saying the Esher Demos sounded bad, which they do not! And I must reiterate that “Circles” was a revelation. Like a different song. Seriously, wow.

    Does anyone know if the 5.1 mix sounds better and more centered than the 2018 mix? What are the expectations?

    It does all come down to the music we love! It's an offer I'd make to anyone that lived close enough.

    I'm on the fence about purchasing the 3-CD set. I wouldn't spring for anything more. I want the Esher demos, but my gosh, the Beatles in stereo were redone in 2009 and in mono in 2014. Besides all the extras, why is THIS edition of the proper White Album worth buying again?

    See a few folk have the box so far, it's not officially out yet for three weeks. Good news I guess, meaning there should be TWA50th magazine reviews soon as well as the product itself will be out the same time !!!!!

    Well if you buy the 3CD version:
    The first remix of The Beatles
    The 27 Escher Demos

    If you get the 'Super Deluxe' version you also get:
    3 sides of outtakes
    Blu-Ray with high rez stereo and 5.1 surround mixes. Also the master Mono version, presumably in higher rez than the original Beatles in Mono release.
    There is also a book and a nice box I believe.
