Abbey Road 50th contents, outtakes and sound quality thread .. only

Right. Why not include that? Add a DVD or an online code for videos

 

I don't want my car CD changer to ruin the disc from the book it's why I've started using the 2009 remaster of Sgt Pepper agin in the car instead of the remix. I will be listening to the CD occasionally just not as often as the LP.

 

Even though I don't care too much about demos and/or outtakes, I agree and I'm sure a lot of others do too. So far of all these anniversary super deluxe editions the only CD that was 70+ was the one with "Esher Demos". So far all other extra CDs with session stuff were only 50+ minutes. Looking at the tracklist of Abbey Road session CDs, it looks like the same story - two discs with 50+ minutes of outtakes each.

 

I am

 

What about burning the content of the set's first CD on a blank disc specially for your car?

 

Has there ever been an artist that has released this many outtakes on their deluxe versions of their albums?

 

I am annoyed that a blue-ray only version is available. No DVD?

 

The obvious exception is Dylan. He's been releasing EVERYTHING.

 

There was no DVD in the White Album box set either.

 

I could do that and I used to do that but I decided to just use proper CDs at some point, I think it's because I was just using the 2009 CDs which I picked up separately and I didn't really care about them.
I dunno I haven't had very good luck burning CDs recently, I downloaded the Black Triangle CD a while back and I kept burning dud after dud so I'm not too bothered with all that anymore.

 

Yeah I know. THAT annoyed me too!

 

They must've decided when doing The White Album that the DVD was a redundant waste of space when you are doing a double disc album, though the Pepper Box did also have video so that could have influenced that a little

 

Well, theoretically, they could have included a DVD with the original videos for Hey Jude, Revolution, and Lady Madonna. But for whatever reason, they decided to NOT include them. And that policy is holding forth for the upcoming Abbey Road set.

That policy MIGHT change with the Let It Be anniversary set, and they may include some video material in that package. It is even possible that the whole original Let It Be film might be included in the set.

 

(Sorry for repeating myself but) I still think the Let It Be anniversary release might look similar as John's Imagine Ultimate campaign: audio, visual and book all individually.

 

No need to apologize for repeating yourself. We all have repeated ourselves too many times to even count...

 

Are they not on the 1+ Blu-Ray?

 

Those videos were released on 1+ in 2015, not so long ago (then again, all 3 Pepper ones were as well). Now some studio footage (that apparently exists?) would have been nice as some hidden content.

 

Yes. But so were the videos for Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane in the 1+ package, but they still included an extra disc with them in the Pepper box set.

So for some reason, Apple made a decision to not include any video content for the White album and Abbey Road deluxe sets.

 

I'm pretty sure the drums were a deliberate mix decision, to give the impression of being stoned.
Otherwise why would they have mixed them like that

 

What about all the complaints that were aimed at that mix?

 

The remixes have been mediocre on the anniversary sets so far IMO. One of the main reasons is Sam Okell. For the possible future Rubber Soul & Revolver remixes Giles needs Paul Hicks to be the engineer. The reason the Love remixes sound so good is because Paul Hicks was the engineer on that project. Simple as that. Listen to the work he did on the Imagine set and compare it to the White Album & Sgt. Pepper remixes & surround mixes.

 

Someone may have mentioned this already, so I apologize in advance if that is the case - but no long lost guitar solo restored to Here Comes the Sun? As an alternate mix?

 

I will buy the box set and 2CD, for well, for leave the box set to the car it won´t work
