I think we can all agree that a standalone Blu-Ray edition of this one NEEDS to happen. Hopefully it would include the previous DTS 5.1 mix as well.

Within the SDE announcement -

"Venus and Mars will also be available – digitally only – in Dolby Atmos"

I'm still excited for this, even if it’s streaming-only. The Band on the Run Atmos mix was a big improvement from the old DTS release (IMO), so that's bound to be the case here as well. "Rock Show" on the DTS-CD has to be one of the worst-sounding multichannel mixes ever.

 

[Bill B]

Please. Please. PLEASE, let this Atmos mix be released on BR!!

Hmmmm Giles Martin did the ATMOS mix...........

 

[LennonCobain]

Hopefully there will be some bonus tracks (like Junior’s Farm) included on the Atmos streaming release.

A must buy if the Atmos is released on blu-ray. But it looks like vinyl only, not even a CD! Bummer. For now.

The "5,1" mix was actually the original quadraphonic mix with a center channel made by blending the LF and RF channels.

He did BOTR too.

 

[CymruQuad]

Interesting! Does BOTR follow after?

 

[Old Quad Guy]

I’d still like to see the two Paul McCartney and Wings Quad titles that were originally released as Q8’s on Hi-Rez Blu-ray. And since they’ve evidently created Atmos mixes of the albums, add those as well, and you would have two great releases.

That was the previous 50th anniversary.

Yes but Atmos download only, no 5.1, no standalone.

Yes but Atmos download only, no 5.1, no standalone.

Download? Or streaming only?

 

[J. PUPSTER]

Download? Or streaming only?

In this new era parlance, it typically means streaming only, but it’s vague, dumb & confusing isn’t it, because downloads or a Blu-ray (or even a CD) are “digital”
-and not exactly “our” ahooga moment!
