Deluxe Edition of "Imagine" Coming Soon! (Remixed 5.1 and Remastered Quad audio)

[Clint Eastwood]

"On October 5, Universal Music celebrates the apex of John Lennon’s solo career with a six-disc box set, Imagine – The Ultimate Collection.

This historical, remixed and remastered 140-track collection is fully authorised by Yoko Ono Lennon who oversaw the production and creative direction.

Spread across four CDs and two Blu-ray discs, this truly unique expanded edition offers a variety of listening experiences that are at once immersive and intimate, ranging from the brand new Ultimate Mixes of the iconic album, which reveal whole new levels of sonic depth, definition and clarity to these timeless songs, to the Raw Studio Mixes that allow listeners to hear Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band’s original,unadorned performances, to enveloping 5.1 surround sound mixes, and a Quadrasonic Album Mix, presenting the original four speaker mix remastered in Quadrasonic sound for the first time in nearly fifty years.

This ultimate deep listening experience, which features scores of previously unheard demos, rare outtakes and isolated track elements, also includes The Evolution Documentary, a unique track-by-track audio montage that details the journey of each song from demo to master recording via instructions, rehearsals, recordings, multitrack exploration and studio chatter.

The comprehensive nature of the full Imagine – The Ultimate Collection is the absolute best representation of a career artist working at the top of his creative game. imagine - the ultimate deep listening experience.

Imagine will also be released in concurrent multiple physical and digital configurations including as a 2CD Deluxe Edition, 1CD remaster, and 2LP 180 gram heavyweight black vinyl edition."

Ya know Adam...Paul Sinclair will suddenly give us the "scoop" of a lifetime tomorrow about this "super deal" on amazon UK...only by then the people of this forum and SHF... who already knew about this...will have secured their orders...poor Paul

Looks like (I hope I'm correct ) lotsa bonus 5.1 tracks and great tracks they are .
Lennon is still the ultimate Solo Beatle as far as I'm concerned .

Me likey Me will buy

And thanks for this............YOKO !!!! ♡

 

[LennonCobain]

I also preordered from Amazon UK because the current price (if honored by Amazon) is unlikely to be beat.

I'm waiting for the 5.1 reviews to roll in before plunking any money down.

How do you know what tracks were remixed to 5.1?. I'm assuming disk 6 is the BRD. Am I missing something?

Edit: never mind. I see them. Disk 5 is the BRD.

 

[beerking]

As I said previously, played this to death when I got this on vinyl release (which I still have), so this is a no brainer.....wahoo!!
Ta for the heads up...pre-ordered too.
I'm gonna need sum new racking with all these releases coming thick and fast this year...but bring it on I say.

6 versions of Oh Yoko!...what more could anyone want

 

[privateuniverse]

I'm surprised to see this priced this low. Universal has been pretty brutal on the prices of their box sets recently. I expected this to be much more expensive. Amazon UK price to the USA incl shipping came to $70 so I jumped on it. If Bull Moose or Import CDs comes in cheaper I can always cancel.

 

[kap'n krunch]

Pre-order of the 6 disc set with Quad & 5.1 on Blu-ray here:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/TBC-Tbc/dp...=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B07FDMZ25Y

CHOMP!!!

 

[rusinurbe]

Unbelievable price was expecting at least twice the price Happy Christmas war is over

Let's hope this sticks

6 versions of Oh Yoko!...what more could anyone want

And for Maximum effect, Clinty, one could program all six cuts to REPEAT [ad nauseum] until YOKO miraculously appears in your listening room like the CANDYMAN!

• OH, YOKOYUK!

I would advise anyone that is interested in the set to pre order NOW on amazon...I have no dog in this fight.... but according to the SHF insider... he is surprised at the low price and thinks it could be temporary....post 2092

 

[skherbeck]

Ordered.

I would "plunk" down a pre order now...you have plenty of time to do the research before it's released...you can cancel anytime..

 

[dr. simple]

This is probably a dumb question, but does quadrasonic = quadraphonic?

 

[Clint Eastwood]

This is probably a dumb question, but does quadrasonic = quadraphonic?

Not a dumb question at all...yes it's the same thing...just different marketing by companies.. I thought it was a typo when I saw it
