I wish there was a Macca fan out there who could make a limited release Blu Ray of the Atmos mix....maybe with the same first name as McCartney....
I wonder if we’ll get “underdubbed” Atmos mixes too? That would be a nice bonus.
Sadly we'll more likely to get it in Mono on an Edison Wax Cylinder

We desperately need a replacement for that ole DTS BOTR and if 'cute Beatle' Paul follows tradition*, don't be surprised if we do get a physical BD~A in ATMOS from Macca!
*release of Beatles' catalogue in ATMOS as well as BD~As from John and George!
Excited to hear the under dubbed mixes but disappointed the Atmos mixes are yet again relegated to streaming only. A shame as the Lennon camp are still pro Blu-ray.
I wonder why the McCartney Archive releases don’t feature stereo remixes (other than Tug of War out of necessity), something both Beatles and John Lennon releases have been doing.

Here's the "underdubbed" mix of the title cut.
Wouldn’t it be amazing (but unlikely) if SDE could strike a deal to produce a blu ray with the new Atmos mix AND the original quad transfer?

That makes way too much sense!
Is "undubbed" what we are calling demos now....?
... Bass & Drum?
No. Demos are demos. Underdubs are from the actual multitracks with parts missing.
This is mostly because of the limited tracks available in the 60s and 70s (be it 4 tracks, 8 tracks, 16 tracks, etc) so some instruments had to be combined ("Bounced") later onto existing tracks. Underdubs are just the basic tracks without the additional instruments added.
If anything, I suppose you could call an underdub a different mix. But they are not demos.
Actually, I would consider buying that.
To fit the running time of the songs, it would be in a 14 - 17 cylinder box set.
ummm...that was a joke ...
Wow, that's pretty cool. It's easy to see why they added the parts and additional orchestration. The song is not only "underdubbed" it's also underwhelming compared to the original. That doesn't mean I wouldn't like to add it to my collection, it's kind of reminds me of an "unplugged" version.
These aren't "demos".
They are the tracks that were recorded in Lagos before they added overdubs later in London. In fact, these were mixed to stereo back in 1973 by Geoff Emerick, so I think there may have been consideration to release the album in this form. Tony Visconti has written of his only having 3 days, with no sleep, to get the orchestral arrangements completed in time to meet the release date for the album.
noy at all interested in streaming - where's the blu-ray?
Just read this post at The Other Forum™ and thought it worth sharing here. The link below goes straight to his track-by-track capsule review so you can bypass that forum.
