Yes. McCartney, Red Rose Speedway & Band On The Run all have streaming Dolby Atmos mixes.

Dam, we def need a Boxset, RRS, BOTR, V&M, WSOS physical dics..

It would never happen, but it would be sweet if they created atmos/5.1 bluray discs for everyone who purchased the big-bucks "McCartney Archive Collection" versions of the matching album. They have the buyer info if the original purchaser applied for and downloaded the high resolution files that were available with the code that came in each release.

Even for a substantial fee, it would be a "nice" thing to do, and create an instant collectable.

Sadly, as I said, it ain't gonna happen

I wonder why he is opposed to releasing physical discs of Dolby Atmos mixes. Universal? Management? It really seems silly to have vinyl and cds released of the same albums, but not the surround mixes on blu-ray.

It's mainly the labels pushing the streaming mode, much cheaper and no unsold inventory risk.

The high resolution downloads must have been available for a very short time. I bought all of the archive collection, but at the time I was unable to download the hi res files. About a year or so after purchasing the last title (at the time), none of the codes brought up anything.
After searching online for a solution, it became very obvious that it was a widespread issue.
All I really wanted were the few "unlimited" (aka uncompressed) titles that were available.
