Anybody visited the polls yet just wondered how many 10,s we are going to get?.
Also second question for those doing the 5.1 poll how does this compare to The White Album?.

Tough to compare because those two albums are so different to begin with. The White Album mix is probably more adventurous, but so was this album.

This one is more cohesive, but again, so was the album. I’d say both are the right mix for the album. But I give an edge to Abbey Road because I find it a more enjoyable listen overall. Even though I’ve always liked The White Album better. But this one just “feels” better. Hope that makes sense?
 
Picked up the deluxe version at Sandy’s Records in Dee Why (SYDNEY) yesterday for $A154.95 inclusive GST. By my calculation this was slightly less than the price from Amazon France which would have included the same GST but would have had freight and it’s GST component as an extra. Was still in its factory box. Plus day of release. Grateful and impressed. Haven’t had a chance to play the blu ray yet.
Good to see Sandy's is still open and bringing fine music to the Northern Beaches! Last thing I bought there was Dark Side of the Moon when it first came out on CD.

Now playing the DTS HD version.
Magical

I have my rears raised for my own enjoyment, as I like to hear what they are producing more than the fronts.

I am sure this helps to show what a superb mix this is.

And this really benefits from being played loud, to fully appreciate all the new elements I'm hearing, from each track!!

My smile will last for ever more. :QQlove

I'm about to post a video where I recorded the rears isolated! If it turned out ok. I'm about to listen to the clips! I did the Atmos too.

I wish I'd thought to order from Sandy's. I pre-ordered from JB hoping to receive it on release day but it won't be delivered until Tuesday 😡
