New John Lennon collection, remixed in 5.1 surround & Dolby Atmos out in October!

[bktouchstone]

I really liked the Imagine mixes, as the fidelity was fantastic even if the surround mixes were pretty straightforward (or backward). I didn't think the songs warranted too much adventure in any case. But because there are the Doobies quads, followed by the Tears For Fears release, and just now ordered a mono SACD of Frank Sinatra's circa 1950 Columbia album re-release, am significantly over budget for the next couple of months. But I will keep an eye out for a good sale on this one. If that doesn't happen, that's fine. It would be great to have #9 Dream in surround (at least I think that is the song's title).

#9 Dream is one I am very much looking forward to.

...mono SACD of Frank Sinatra's circa 1950 Columbia album re-release...

What album/release is that?

What album/release is that?

@JediJoker, this is available, exclusively I believe, for pre-order at elusive disc: Frank Sinatra Sing And Dance With Frank Sinatra Hybrid Mono SACD. There is also a vinyl version.

I placed an order for the Japanese SHM edition + Blu-ray....Looks fantastic!

Amazon Canada is CDN$ 69.31 + tax for Canadians, that's only CDN$3 more than MusicVaultz after that VIP code so I'll go with the super fast guaranteed courier shipping for the $3 more.

You are correct as initially the list price was 66.99-15% off that price. I see they have raised the list price to 78.99.

Amazon is listing it at full retail this morning, but it looks like ImportCDs still has it available at a much lower price:

I love "Cheese and Onions", and the entire first Rutles LP. Amazing writing and creation. Too many great tunes to list.

This morning, I received John Lennon's Gimme Some Truth. The Ultimate Mixes (Deluxe Box Set) from the Moose.

I put the BD into my Oppo 203 and set it to Atmos. I initially listened to some of my favorite tracks on my 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos enabled (up firing speakers) system.

The Atmos tracks sounded good, slightly more immersive than the 24/96 DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix.

However, besides the 5.1 floor level speakers, only the rear Atmos enabled speakers had content. The front Atmos enabled speakers had no content. I entirely played five tracks and sampled ~15 tracks and this was consistent. No content from the front Atmos enabled speakers, only the rear Atmos speakers.

I thought something was wrong with my system, so I got out the 2016 Dolby Atmos demo disc and used the 5.1.4 test tones to check my system. No issues.

Need to find more time to sit down and give this a thorough listen. Just thought I'd give my initial impressions.

I'm a big Lennon fan so I'm glad I added this to my library.

Am I a fucking idiot? How do I change the audio? I have a list of all the songs but I can't arrow around with my remote to choose one, or arrow over to the audio settings and choose surround. All I get is auto playing PCM stereo, which I can use the track skip buttons, but surely the navigation is better than that...
