    Agree very strongly - "massively listenable" indeed. :thumbsup: There was so much wrong with this release to get all burnt about -- content constrained to LP limits, no BD, 11-minute "bonus disk", etc -- if one wanted to dwell, but once you set all that aside and get into what was actually delivered, it is such a blast, and i have been playing the set over and over, just like i did the original release in Aug '66. This is simply the Beatles "Pop Vocal Group" at their best.

    Welcome back Sean!

    It's good to be back -- I feel like something or other has taken me out of the game for the recent Beatles box set threads, but I hope to rectify that in 2023 for (hopefully) the Rubber Soul box. :thumbsup:

    Sorry to horrify anyone, but I am happy to say that my recovery has been very strong. Little things have popped up or revealed themselves in the past couple of months, but nothing that can't be managed. I'm very lucky indeed.

    cheers! I think it's just that we're listening to the same remix, but with different ears ;)

    if you compare the 2015 versions with the later boxset remixes, do you not hear a definite push on both bottom and top ends?

    I’m not sure which 2015 versions you mean (I assume the previous remasters)but yes, I completely agree with that much. It’s the negativity with relation to these changes that I was referring to. But, you’re right; different ears, different perceptions.

    Oh my!!! I'm so sorry you went through such an ordeal. Thrilled you are feeling better.... and you didn't say a word of this is in your annual Christmas card either!!! Love to you and your family. Hoping this is the last medical issue you'll ever have to endure. Ron

    Glad to have you back! [I've only been occasionally skimming this thread since the release, as new info/revelations/thoughts/opinions are few and few between for the most part..]

    Cool drawing!

    It's great to hear you were/are recovering so well!

    Listened to the remix on cd again last night

    and I really really like the new She said She said

    it’s kinda floaty now with loads of diff guitar tones rather than in your face acidy

    there you go

    I don't know y0u very well, Allen, but welcome back to the land of feeling better. If music isn't an agent of healing, what on Earth is?
    May 2023 be a time of recovery and full health for you.

    I've been inattentive here lately, but wanted to wish you a speedy and full recovery, Sean. It's always a pleasure to read your thoughts and enthusiasm. And I really enjoyed your take on the REVOLVER cover.
    All the best to you. Jeff

    I’ve had this 5CD set for about two weeks now. I like it. All of the SDEs have made me appreciate each respective album even more than before due to a further glimpse to the creative process. The remixes have been a fun alternative listening experience. But I’ve always considered each respective surround mix as the REAL new mix, not the stereo counterpart.

    So it is disappointing that a 5.1 or Atmos Blu-Ray is not included with this set. I’ve heard it on Apple Music and again, I’d consider the Atmos mix the true new mix. I consider the stereo mix as a bonus, not the other way around.

    In Atmos, I do not hear the “artifact” that I heard in the stereo preview track of Taxman on YouTube, Spotify, or the CD. Have others observed the same thing? Overall, the Atmos mix is really cool, to keep my observation untechnical and brief.

    I'm speaking of the "1" remixes, the first to attempt gile's 'mono feel with stereo soundscape true to the original Beatles intent' line.
    they're still my favoured remixes above all the boxsets.

    Well that puts everything into perspective doesn’t it? Warps, lack of Atmos blu ray, etc.

    Best wishes going forward. I’m spinning 2cd version right now!

    Just out of curiosity, how much would an XEX-606-1 go for in VG visual/VG-to-VG+ play/VG sleeve condition?

    Anyone else loving the She Said She Said backing track rehearsal (take 15)?

    All the guitar explorations and general wildness of the track is so interesting and cool. More psychedelic. Even the studio banter at the start is great.

    I’ve been thinking about this myself. Stereo is sort of a half-measure, really, and I say this as someone who has enjoyed the stereo remixes (though the original Mono albums remain my go-to).

    It’s true that not everyone has a full Atmos system, but everything from Xbox to Windows to Apple products has built-in Atmos for Headphone integration at this point. Done right, this is the way to increase the scope in a real sense.

    (I will never understand, though, the very vocal contingent that loves Dexterized duophonics, calling them the true Beatles canon, yet considers the Martin remixes a betrayal of The Beatles…)
