WHO’S NEXT/LIFEHOUSE Box set coming in September 2023 (STEVEN WILSON DOLBY ATMOS & 5.1 MIXES CONFIRMED!!)

[ar surround]

it will be good, but my bank account will suffer

Bank accounts only “suffer” when used poorly. Spending a rather large sum on a Steven Wilson Atmos mix of Who’s Next…PRICELESS.

I never understood why Kevin Shirley wasn’t asked to have a go at mixing for 5.1….

I seem to recall stories about missing masters…..

Who or Zep?

3 tracks from Who's Next have missing (final) multitracks. Not aware of any issues with LZ.

Yeah I recall the missing Who multitracks as well. I wonder if they turned up or if Wilson did upmixes.

Neither.
Apparently they had multitracks available without final overdubs on them, so Pete apparently replaced the missing parts by re-recording them himself.
Go back a few pages in this thread and there’s a post about Pete redoing synth parts for The Song Is Over.

Right. I remember reading that.

Any idea how much material there’ll be for the Lifehouse aspect of it. My memory of the Lifehouse stuff is fuzzy; wasn’t WHO’s NEXT some of the finished parts of Lifehouse?

Likely not much that hasn't already been released.

Some things, like Mary, likely were never recorded by the band.

Do we know for sure that the Atmos mix will be released on Blu-Ray?

It’s not confirmed what will or will not be in the box set, but I feel very confident that this will not simply be a streaming release. I would bet on a Blu-Ray with Dolby Atmos & 5.1 mixes, plus maybe some additional material too.

Doesn't seem like missing tracks ever show up. Or do they? Would also love to have Wilson mix Aja, but here again, missing tracks.

Sometimes things do show up, like one or two Jethro Tull tracks (I think it was the early version of "One Brown Mouse" that was first only used as a rough mix when the multis later showed up on an unmarked reel, which is why the recording is on two different box sets). Alas, half of Too Old to Rock 'N' Roll never did, which makes the re-recorded version for the TV special such a great substitute.

Took this from SHTV, apparently this photo comes from Jon Astley's Facebook page. He's a master engineer in London.
The photo also had the following caption with it:

So there we go. Steven Wilson has remixed "Who's Next." What could possibly be better than this?!

This suddenly became purchase at any price. Not that I wasn't going to buy it before.

It’s definitely great news. I just hope that there are no gnomes in the box(that would be at least one “ka-ching“ too many).

WOW! I was already having one of the best days I've had in ages, and now this!

I'm prepared for it to cost a mint. I do not care.

If IIRC , Who's Next , was on Steven Wilson's top ten wish list.

Actually, it was Quadrophenia that he mentioned wanting to remix in 5.1 way back in 2009:

Well ,he was busy with DVD and How The West Was Won .

I wonder why Elliot Scheiner couldn't do a follow up , for Warner's Request list on DVDA, on Zep 4
(and one one more Zep album) ?

Ok . Thanks.

"Who's Next" is in my top 3 albums of all time. So to get it in surround, mixed by Steven Wilson ....well, to say it's a no brainer, is an understatement!
My only question is when?
