The Beatles - Abbey Road 50th Anniversary (5.1 & Dolby Atmos mixes)

[edisonbaggins]

Apparently the deluxe edition will contain 6 discs and it will be released on Sept 27th, which is basically the 50th anniversary of the original release date.
Don't know yet whether it will contain 4 CDs, 1 DVD, and 1 Blu-Ray or 5 CDs and 1 Blu-Ray

Where's this info from, Ryan?

Was there a Mono version of this album. If so, I've never heard it.

Here's another reason to be confident- this isn't the first time the Martins have worked on this material in surround via "Love"

-Come Together
-Something
-I Want You (She's So Heavy)
-Octopus's Garden
-Here Comes the Sun
-Because

I wonder if the surround mix for "Gnik Nus" will work in reverse for "Sun King?"

6 discs with hopefully another big-ass book to come along with it.

Abbey Road was the first Beatles album that was not released in mono.

There are songs on Love from The White Album, and some were disappointed by the treatment we got last year. I don't expect this mix to be the same as on Love, but I do expect this release to sound magnificent in the same way Brothers in Arms does. Abbey Road lends itself to a slick and clean mix. It should sound like it was recorded yesterday. I feel good about this, I can't imagine why we wouldn't get the most amazing release we all want.

SHTV forum posters who have provided details in advance on the Sgt. Pepper, White Album, and Imagine releases are saying that the deluxe will have fewer than 6 total discs.

 

[edisonbaggins]

It only needs one disc, as far as I'm concerned...

In two countries IIRC, but it was a fold.

I better start saving my shekels now. I hope the book is the same as the original box set.

 

[H.A.L.]

Dolby Atmos! Wow, i'm starting to drool. . . .

 

[Tamsindarke]

I didn't discover Abbey Road until 1974 or so (I was too young to care in '69) and I wasn't impressed for a long time - "Here Comes the Sun" is one of my most hated Beatles songs (I have a list), and much of the rest seemed very lightweight.

But "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" completely blew my mind, and my only complaint was, it didn't go on long enough. And now, although I've grown to love the whole album (with one exception), that's still the one track I most want to hear in surround. And if there is a previously undocumented twenty minute extended version, I'll love that as well.

 

[LuvMyQuad]

It looks like my guess was wrong... no DVD included... just the Blue Ray.

 

[rtbluray]

Based on the new information, I'm relieved that a) the box set will only have 4 discs, so that should mean a cheaper price overall compared to the last two sets. (I'm predicting a final price somewhere between $80 and $100) and b) that the Blu-Ray will have both the Atmos mix and a separate 5.1 mix for those of us with non-Atmos systems

Autumn cannot arrive soon enough!
