Nice!

The reason I went looking for this thread was not to vote, but to let everyone know that a new version of the Anthology has recently appeared.
... I listened to the first episode and it is excellent. It is indeed a greatly expanded version of the Anthology doc. Perhaps the original assembly before edited for broadcast? ...
But, I also thought I heard interviews that were recorded after the original Anthology release. Once I finally get 27 more hours to listen to the rest, I'm hoping there are enough clues.

Ah, you're right. Several of the interviews from the first episode were lifted from Scorsese's Harrison documentary. The clips were familiar but I was beginning to doubt if I knew them from Anthology and so I brought out the Harrison doc to check.
So, it would appear not to be an Anthology 'director's cut' but rather an impressive labor of love by an avid fan perhaps.
After doing some Anthology - Director's Cut research, it certainly looks like that was the basis for this new set. Add the remainder of the regular Anthology DVDs as well as some 1997 - 2008 interviews and we have the Anthology Revisited set. I haven't found anything yet that wasn't already "in the wild", so this could be Apple or the fan-based "labor of love". Certainly a lot of time was spent on this collection, if it was a fan.
Still listening to the Revisited set, so I may hear something completely new and say "ah, ha!, it must be Apple" but I haven't heard that yet.

My opinion regarding the Revolver-era tracks presented in the DVD set is that the outtakes (such as And Your Bird Can Sing) have more discrete surround sound mixes than the album master versions. I don’t know why that would be the case, unless my mind (and ears) are playing tricks on me.There's some interesting outtake material as well - my favorite is the botched early take of "And Your Bird Can Sing", where you can hear Paul laughing in the rears. "Eleanor Rigby" is another cool one - it starts off as an early acoustic demo, then the actual recording fades in about midway, then it shifts back to the acoustic for the ending.
