Looking forward to the "wild" mix of "Revolution #9" (hmm . . . he said no drugs, but perhaps thorazine or a bit of dramamine might be appropriate).

An early review I saw today: https://audiophilereview.com/audiop...rt-one-the-blu-ray-51-surround-sound-mix.html
Like dancing about architecture I suppose, but there are some tidbits in there. I still haven't pre-ordered it, I guess I'm waiting until a QQer reviews it
Ian, thanks for this link as it did sound very promising as I read the review for Sgt Peppers from same reviewer and reviewer said that was a very conservative mix and for White Album he has comments that refer to more immersive,his word(even wider-screen) mixing was done.

Possibly the first time I've seen good words written about Piggies and Birthday. My excitement is well and truly stirred!

Many thanks popshop for this, a fascinating read and review.
I'm so hoping that Giles has taken on board the constructive comments about his treatment of 'Pepper' and turned them into a positive experience in reproducing this Beatles gem.
That review gets me totally psyched up. Naturally I don't expect "Imagine" studio out-take quality, but just going by his description sounds enough to get me anxious to listen to this album again.
Two weeks!

I have a question, will Magical Mystery Tour just get skipped over? I played drums in front of my family, Christmas to Strawberry Fields, I have fond memories of MMT.

I'm looking forward to this release even more now after reading this review!
It sounds like it will be a great disc indeed!
"Magical Mystery Tour" was never meant to be a full-length studio album, only an EP companion to the TV film, and all of that got reissued in a rather nice set back in 2012:

It is a very underwhelming mix IMHO. The "Sgt Pepper" 5.1 mix is plenty good compared to the "Magical Mystery Tour" Blu-Ray and no there's only one Blu-Ray release of it.
Magic Mystery Tour was something that they never really figured out what to do with it...there was a UK version with only 6 songs and a different US version...it was basically a soundtrack for a movie...this is an interesting read

As far as excitement "building" for The White Album, I've been stoked for this release since Sgt. Pepper
You are so smart. I am doing George Thorogurd, one shot, one beer. Actually listening to John Lee Hooker at moment.
I finally got my order in on Sunday, about $140 for everything shipped from Amazon. Still keeping an eye on prices should they change.
It is great that the Beatles are willing to release new mixes in Surround, especially this iconic recording. This box seems to have everything.

The new mix of Glass Onion is now on iTunes.
I think it's a huge improvement on the original, there is also a very cool film clip.

I may have to get that MMT version anyway, slipped off my radar. My original UK EP set bought in Sweden summer of '69 is a mass of scratches, but kept for sentimental purposes. My brother and I played it to death. I had the US LP version at some point to but that went missing, so all I have is the DVD. The set may be a worthy replacement.
A Fascinating look at the making of "Helter Skelter":

I like the video. Maybe it will be available when 1++ is released...
