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

[J. PUPSTER]

Maybe the marketing department is riffing on a Psycho theme like Eleanor Rigby for the excitement factor. I’m still entitled to my tantrum until they clean up their messaging!

It has been a mess, for sure! One of the best examples of how NOT to announce an important music release. Make it nearly impossible to know for sure how this digital release (or releases?) is going to be done & if the download will include Atmos mix.

The idiots still haven't made this clear less than a month from release date. Unbelievable for such a high profile album.

Absolutely shitty marketing! Gross incompetence, deliberately hiding details or making it up as they go.

I think it is just that they don't understand the proper terminology. It has gotten confusing, with downloads, streaming, different formats, etc. but that is no excuse, they should figure it out.

Dunno, but this Giles Martin interview popped up.
Says he's been in New York for the launch promotion.

They built him a "great big Atmos immersive room" so he can do playbacks to 30 people at a time.

I guess I tempered my disappointment that there was no surround version of Revolver (which is my favorite of their albums) by the belief that it was a 4 track only and so couldn't be separated. In the interview, the tech allowed him to separate the instruments out that he got from the cops, so now I am disappointed again.

So, my big question is...Does Revolver revolve?

I contacted Burning Shed and tried to get the Download issue clarified which in the end they couldn't do. They contacted Universal to try and get a definitive answer to the question and Universal never replied. I certainly won't be forking out £130 for such an overpriced box set that I wouldn't play the half of. It's all a bit of a pigs ear at the moment.

I was going to post this one which was suggested to me by Youhootooob but I was afraid to after the Eliot Scheiner post.

It appears that the only initial availability of a surround mix will be exclusive to streaming. Whether a Blu-ray or downloads will become available is TBD.

By the way, it appears shipments of the Super Deluxe sets have been delayed by a week or two. Speculation running rampant that they are now going to include a BluRay with surround mix after all the complaints. That would be nice, but I’d be surprised…….

I hope you are right but it sounds like wishful thinking. You'd think it would take more than a few weeks to create, mass produce, and package a Blu-ray to include.

Although,,,, I suppose they could include a voucher for a future Blu-ray that will be released as a stand-alone right before Christmas.,,,,

Now who is guilty of wishful thinking ....

When the Get Back release was delayed, there was also speculation that additional content would be included in response to complaints. Needless to say that never happened and neither will a Blu-ray in the Revolver box set.

Hey, nice chat here with Giles to get everyone excited about what actually is in the box.

Interestingly he mentions that he's just done Atmos Mixes of MacCartney 1, 2 & 3

Yep, the 3 of them are already in Apple Music

Ooh thanks, hadn't spotted them!

im not a McCartney bAsher, and “McCartney“ has long been a favorite, but the new mix, especially the ATMOS, exposes how raw and un polished many of the performances were, along with the production.

Seems like a weird choice out of all the possible McCartney albums to give the Atmos treatment IMO.

I was concurrent with the release of the McCartney I, II, and III set earlier this year (all 3 also released in Atmos). In that respect it makes sense.

Considering how and where it was recorded, its no surprise. I thought they did a decent job with the surround mix, again considering the source.

It’s interesting that some of McCartney was recorded at Abbey Road, and I believe the mixes were done there too. It wasn’t all done “ at home“

[First Post] I'm following this thread because there are so few that I've found that touch on the fact that thebeatles.com still mentions a special edition of Revolver with Hi Res 24bit 96kHz & Dolby Atmos. This edition is supposed to come with Hi Res Stereo, Atmos & the LP.

I would be interested in a Revolver Hi Res & Album edition, but so far I can't find any additional information.
