Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 50th Anniversary Reissue (with 5.1 surround mix)

[GOS]

I have news for you.... the LOVE album was going for $15 ON AMAZONUS not too long ago. I bought a back~up copy for that ridiculously low price brand new!

Addenda: spoke too soon....it's still going for under $15 w/free prime s/h and some USED are going for under $4 [VG condition] + s/h: https://www.amazon.com/Love-CD-Audi...r=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=beatles+love+album+dvd~a

OK, I just found my original order - $22.99 Amazon in 2009! Not bad for the time...

It would be interesting to learn how Apple Corp and shareholders determined pricing for the Sgt Peppers release. Is this like the most expensive mainstream (non-boxset) music release ever???

Aqualung same price range one album 1 vinyl 4 Disc's...... I only have the Blu-Ray from that set and may be doing the same with the Sgt.Peppers.

For sh*ts and giggles, we should start a betting pool on HOW LOW the upcoming Sgt. Pepper boxset will go for before it levels out.

My guesstimate is $80!:yikes

Not really. Giles mixed it for Atmos for release in theaters but not for home use.

Uh, where did you hear that?
Almost every legitimate source I have read only mentions a standard 5.1 surround mix, nothing about Atmos.

Best part is that you got to listen to it for over 7 years.

Giles said it at one of the listening events he has hosted lately. I read about it on SHF.

Ok, I see where you got that from now.
If that really is true that there will be cinema events of "Sgt Pepper" mixed in Atmos audio, sign me up for that!

I saw those - haha, pretty cool looking.

OK. The relevance to me of a Dolby Atmos mix would be for the home consumer.

I wonder how many home systems have support for D Atmos. Like 4k that feature is still in its infancy if it ever really takes off.

I don't own it but see that the Beatles LOVE deluxe DVD-A includes 4-5 tracks from Sgt. Pepper in 5.1. How good are the sonics on the LOVE DVD-A? How different will these tracks be from the upcoming bluray of Pepper (obviously it's the whole album this time), but have they remixed them yet again for multichannel or just repackaging?

The new "Sgt Pepper" 5.1 mix definitely will not be the same as "Love".
"Love" is a unique album where almost every song on the album mixes in recorded elements from other Beatles songs in a 'mashup' style, and it's one of the best 5.1 surround DVD-A/V discs that has ever been released!

Ok, thanks. I had not heard the Love DVD-A before and wasn't sure what the content included.

You should try to catch a listen to it on youtube or something similar. The mash up is interesting, even in Stereo.

I totally agree with rt concerning LOVE: Astounding sonics and 81 minutes of continuous, unadulterated excellence on every conceivable level.

At under $4 used [from AMAZONUS...third party vendors] + s/h what do you have to lose? https://www.amazon.com/Love-CD-Audi...r=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=beatles+love+album+dvd~a

My pre-order finger is twitching again. It's a pricy release especially for the non-collector, but I guess when you do the math; 6 discs for $120 assuming US currency, that's $20 a pop. Along with the packaging, movie, booklet, posters and bragging rights when you're the first kid on the block to get the new Sgt Pepper's release. It ain't so bad....

Within You, Without You in 5.1 on a decent system will be pretty cool.

If I've learned anything over the years, 'bragging rights' are somewhat delusional. Among all my friends, none of them are into surround music and they could care less if I obtain Sgt. Pepper day and date of release. I'm going to stick to MY guns this time and await firsthand from the always reliable QQ posters whether the 5.1 remix is worth the fuss .... and expense. TOO many surround releases today are disappointing and since I'm really not interested in the RBCDs my main concern is for the 5.1 BD~A remix.

If it turns out to be of the same high caliber remix as the LOVE DVD~A.....then it's a definite MUST HAVE purchase, hands down!
