Had to swap out of the 'moose and go Amazon to use a $100 Amex gift card up. They'll contact me to get that sorted but now I can say I'm in the game.

Yep, not only did I use to smoke pot but I actually was one of the authors of Proposition 215, the medical cannabis prop that started the whole legalization ball rolling.:banana::banana::banana::banana:

FINALLY, a reason for the rear speakers-in-the-front surround system!

GREAT to hear that seilerbird.

I've always found it rather ironic that alcohol remains legal when millions of people a year die from drunk Drivers and it's also a prime cause of domestic violence. I have a friend who's a retired Police detective who's vehemently opposed to MJ and I once posed the question to him: "Have you ever had to respond to violence breaking out in a marijuana den?" He answered NO.

As far as MJ leading to stronger drugs....my answer is, yeah, the desire for a better grade of MJ.:banana:

Legalize POT and make alcohol illegal. But again, that's TOO EASY.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds [LSD].......well, if you like Lost Weekends..........Been there, done that Too....NO thanks!

Okay probably time to reel this topic back in!

Amazon will have to contact me as the Amex gift card is $100 and this went unrecognized! Maybe they run it tomorrow? I really am interested to hear everything included.

Maybe it's only my copy that's been pushed to June 2nd, everyone else can have theirs on May 26.

You know I'm smitten with this release, when last night I was grinding some fresh pepper on my grilled burgers...and I instantly thought of SGT Pepper! A few more days gang... :yikes

Here's a picture of the Blu-Ray's audio playback screen (courtesy of Paul Sinclair and SuperDeluxeEdition.com) I love it! It's almost just as I imagined it would be. Simple, yet effective, with easy access to all album tracks and audio options!

atta pepper! I got a Pepper grinder, to put fresh pepper on my food, drink Dr pepper when I get thirsty, and enjoy Hot Peppers on salad and Pepper sauce on tuna. Then I listen to what else? How many days left now?? start counting hours that's how many! :music

Thanks! Nice to see it's closer to Pet Sounds' simplicity than 1+. Track titles and audio settings on one page makes it easier to know if you remembered to switch from my pet peeve: defaulting to stereo.

I'm sure, all of us at QQ are sweet little angels who would never do anything immoral, or unethical! Problem is everything I like is in those category's.

:yikes 3 days :yikes

Paul Sinclair (from Super Deluxe Edition) has written a very thorough review of the 5.1 mix here:
http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/r...surround-sound-mix-of-the-beatles-sgt-pepper/

10 tracks (including "Penny Lane") are labeled as having 'Good' 5.1 mixes
3 tracks are labeled as having 'Very Good' 5.1 mixes
Finally 2 tracks are labeled as having 'Stunning' 5.1 mixes (and one of them is "Strawberry Fields Forever")

In closing:

I’m glad Apple/Universal commissioned a 5.1 version of Sgt. Pepper, but this isn’t a mix to invite your friends around to blow them away with the sounds-flying-around-the-room experience of surround sound. Neither is it a mix that reveals hitherto unheard instrumentation or makes you love the album more than you already do. It isn’t particularly ‘immersive’ I have to say, but neither is it boring. It’s somewhere in between.

I was quite surprised to receive this from ImportCDs this afternoon, three days early. Can't wait to give it a listen this evening..
