'The Beatles' (White Album) [50th Anniversary Box Set with 5.1 Blu-ray Disc!]

[rtbluray]

What titles has Neil been working on?

This year it's been "Meltdown: Live in Mexico City" (from King Crimson), "Signs & Wonders" (from Birdsong at Morning), and "Dissolution" (from the Pineapple Thief) on 5.1 Blu-Ray, plus "Flow" (from Djabe) on 5.1 DVDA-V and finally "Ocean Sounds" (from iamthemorning) on stereo Blu-Ray.

That should be all for this year, but hopefully there will be more to come next year!

Yeah, the "real" Imagine 5.1 isn't very spectacular if you first heard Disc 2. I don't think I'll be playing Disc 1 much. In fact, for the car, I made a USB with all of the 5.1 tracks from "Out-Takes" and "Extended Mixes" and that will be fine for me. I may be in the minority, but the original album I've heard too many times, and with a less-than-amazing 5.1 mix, it's not going to do it for me.

Disc 2? That does it for me!

Sorry for the cross-pollination Jon, but I was wondering if the Imagine BD-1 issue would've happened if Neil Wilkes was involved?

I also think from time to time that I miss Mr. Wilkes posts here.
I have both of his DVD-As. Not only do they sound stellar, the UI is what all DVD-As should've been.

Now that Australians can't order from Amazon internationally due to newly imposed tax laws, I'm stuck with usual ordering opportunities for the Deluxe box. I'd usually go straight to Burning Shed but the shipping charges are frankly ridiculous (53 pounds or almost $100 AU). If anyone in Oz has any advice, I'd appreciate it.

I have seen some reasonable deals on ebay. I will try there once the box comes out. Yeah it's bloody frustrating and I feel Burning Shed as much as people say they are good, are not competitive with postage prices.

Neil has done more for surround than most of the others out there. He was instrumental in working with Steven Wilson at the beginning of his journey into 5.1 mixing. He's around, he's just "making 5.1"! He'll be by from time to time, I am sure. He's probably lurking because if he posts he might get badgered with pointless questions and query's, you know the drill.

I found Importcds to be the best option for Australia:

Wow, that's great. $206AU including shipping, best deal I've seen so far. Thanks so much for the link!

 

[Woody71]

Could CDJapan be an option?

Looking at over $300 AU for the box and postage. Another member posted a link to importcds.com which at $206 is best deal I've seen yet.

The UK parcel & courier services seem to hammer you if you send anything bigger than an envelope overseas, I went to send something to my cousins in Australia and the cost was going to be over 3 times what I'd paid for it. So I didn't.

$200 for a surround album is just ridiculously expensive. I’m happy to buy the Jimi Hendrix BDA for $65 AU but $200 is way over the top.

I agree with you. The cost of getting just the surround sound disc is crazy

Having just seen the pics for Mr Hendrixs new release , I wondered if there was any up to date info on the new Beatles box set.
I found this, hope it sheds a light or two for those, who like me, are chomping at the bit.

Sorry If this has been covered already.

Yeah, but what if they run out of allocated pre-orders (say 500) and you end up waiting an extra few days to receive your box because you’re now 1000 on the list instead of 100?

Let me mention something...that $9.07 amount can vary depending on where they live...if you notice that takes care of the tax for us in Florida...it might be different in other areas...just saying..maybe someone else from another area will let us know..

$9.06 for those of us here in Connecticut. I gotta move to Florida just to save a penny!

I'm sticking with my Deep Discount order [$128 delivered price]. I'm in NO rush ..... I'm not going anywhere and truth be told, we'll all be scratching our heads when Amazon's Warehouse Deals blows it out for under $100....or LESS!

It's not as though I have nothing to play in the meantime.

And with tax, for me the total would be $135.15......I'm still sticking with Moose, which I got for $139.97 shipped.
