Beatles Revolver Box Set (Dolby Atmos Mix available for streaming; No Blu-Ray)

If one has the patience, value investing such as this always pays off!

I’m waiting for Cahoots to go down to $19.95.

Which leads me to believe you are indeed in CAHOOTS ...with your accountant, AR!

Cahoots is at $43.77 now.. I don't know about it ever getting to $19.95. Might be a long wait....
Amazon kept lowering it till it got to $45. Then it went way back up again to over $100 then back down. Back in June, I got it for $45.09.
If it gets to $19.95, I might buy another one.

We've read that a Dolby Atmos mix won't be in the SDE box of Revolver...Dolby Atmos is 9.1 channels? 9.1 might be a bridge too far for an album recorded on a 4-track machine, but I see no reason (yet) to think we won't get a 5.1 mix in the set.

Dolby Atmos is 9.1 channels?

No. Dolby Atmos is channel-agnostic. In contrast to channel-based formats like traditional single-plane quadraphonic and surround sound, Atmos is an object-based system where mix elements (objects) are placed within a hemisphere around and above the listener (but not below... yet) rather than in specific channels. An Atmos decoder will place these elements accordingly, no matter the number of channels available in the given system. I believe most Atmos mixers are using a standardized 7.2.4-channel array—that is, 7 speakers in the traditional horizontal plane (L/C/R/SL/SR/SBL/SBR), 2 independent LFE (low frequency effects) channels (i.e. subwoofers), and 4 height speakers (placed one each above L/R/SL/SR)—but an Atmos mix will play back "correctly" on as few speakers as one or as many as you can shake a stick at.

Excellent short and concise description of Atmos, Jedi. I guess that the systems with the added wide speakers (9.2.4) are just capable of more resolution pinpointing objects in the horizontal plane? l‘ve never listened to such a system with wide speakers.

Looking forward to the upcoming combined Atmos/Underworld codec. LOL

Bad news folks.
Ringo just showed an actual copy of the box set on his Instagram page.
I took a screenshot when he flipped the box set around to the back side.
This confirms it.
NO BLU-RAY. (NO 5.1 MIX.)

So our only hope at this point of hearing "Revolver" in surround sound would be if the Dolby Atmos mix became available for streaming, unless @PaulatSDE can somehow work a miracle and convince Apple & Universal Music to put out a limited edition Blu-Ray.

This is so upsetting. The best release of the year has now turned into the worst release of the year.

Diastrous News, Ryan.

I wonder if there's any chance that APPLE will release a stand alone PURE AUDIO BD~A with the ATMOS remix.

Yes, the prize is right.

Now, would you like to know how I really feel?

 

[AshBuchanan]

No bluray, but at least we get a cd with only paperback writer and rain on it......

.....hang on, that's pathetic!

You can stick it up your Ringo, Mr. Starkey.

What a pile of its revolting that no surround disc will be revolving

It'll probably appear on streaming, or bits of the album will, then they'll disappear, then different bits will appear, ad finitum, and you'll have to keep paying monthly just in case - or am I being too cynical?

That’s a silly business plan. When enough people get pissed off, the hackers will come to the rescue, just like they did with DVD, DVD-A, SACD and Blu-ray.

Perhaps that's why the releasing company IS CALLED APPLE CORPS LTD
