On the contrary, i’m not denying anything. I think it’s very clear exactly what they will and are doing. And I also… don’t think it’s that big of a deal. The og mixes were re-issued in 2009-2012. The remixes started in 2017, not even a full decade later. Sure, you might be able to more easily pick up the brand new just released remixes for a couple years, but it does not mean that the original mixes are going anywhere. On the contrary, once they’re done with all the remixes, they can just parade out the original mixes again in a big fancy collection, and rake in the cash.
Most info seeps out 2-5 months before planned release with exceptions of course. The BD and SINYC were mentioned by the actual artists/ artists representative and not the actual record industry and we still have not found out for sure if we will see either of them in 2022.
Remember, COVID and it’s lingering supply chain issues are still occasionally causing delays and postponements.
The White Album and Abbey Road had new music videos made to promote those sets. I wonder if Revolver will get one, and if so, what song will be the "single." Got to Get You Into My Life could be good for that.
Great story there too, with the single becoming a hit 10 years later. Wonder if that will be acknowledged in the book?
Yeah and it's catchy and it doesn't have an official video (that I know of?), and, perhaps more superficially, the prior videos have been a John song (Glass Onion) and a George song (Here Comes the Sun), so it kind of feels like it is Paul's turn.
Several good choices: Got To Get You Into My Life Here There And Everywhere Taxman And Your Bird Can Sing ... None of them are exactly deep cuts, but then... nothing on Revolver could really be called a deep cut... [maybe I'm Only Sleeping..? For No One?]
How could they not acknowledge it? Then again, was there any mention of Back In The USSR, Helter Skelter or Obladi Oblada singles from the 1970s in the White Album box? [I honestly don't remember and am too lazy right now to dig out the book....]
Not exactly. They used the Capitol tapes to include the unique US mixes. Unfortunately, they missed a handful of them, but that was a flaw in execution. I'm glad they released the US albums set, being a totally different approach (regardless of the execution flaws), but they should have finisihed the Capitol sets before.
I don't think there are pictures in the book; the White On White section seems to be about the design of the album itself only -- and there's discussion in the It's Here section of the lack of singles and cover versions by Marmalade, The Bedrocks, Fats Domino, Chubby Checker, Lowell Fulson, and Ramsey Lewis.
