I ordered the second it went up. I love the Sgt. Pepper and White Album box set and I don't expect that to change with Abbey Road.

Very tempting! I'm not a Beatles expert, have any of the takes and demos on discs two and three been officially released before?

EDIT: Never mind, the announcement says most of those are unreleased. Cool!

EDIT Part Deux: So the deluxe version with the book doesn't include the album on vinyl as well?

Seems kind of light compared to some box sets we are getting these days like from Bob Dylan. I get the impression they left many session takes off the set.

With Bob Dylan it just one person that has to OK everything even as cranky as the old bastard is. With the Beatles you have two living members and two widows who have never agreed on anything in their lives who have to OK what goes on the sets.Rumor is that Paul wanted Carnival Of Light to be on the Pepper box but George was dead set against it ever coming out so Olivia blocked it. I am surprised these Beatles sets have been released at all.

Same here. I don't care much about the CD's but the hi-res Blu Ray's & 5.1 mixes are extraordinary. Shame they are not available on their own.

The Beatles official channel posted different versions of "Something" on YouTube

The Beatles - "Something (2019 Mix / Audio)"


The Beatles - "Something (Studio Demo / Audio)"


The Beatles - "Something (Take 39 / Instrumental / Strings Only / Audio)"

I'll get it when a sale appears.

Do these go on sale? Most deluxe sets do, but of course everything is different for The Beatles (and Led Zeppelin)

Listening to those three tracks, the first sounds like the last remaster to me. Maybe a bit crisper?
The second is interesting, especially the new lyrics. But I don't think I'd listen to it much. The third, instrumental track is nice, obviously. One of the best Beatles songs ever recorded and the instrumentation is a big reason why.

Maybe not sale, but usually you can find an outlet that somehow marks them down a bit. I picked up the White Album set last year when Barnes & Noble ran a huge discount on CDs.

I waited a year to get the Beatles in Mono CD box set and paid about half of what it went for when it first came out, so it does happen. Might be a case by case basis though.

With the Super Deluxe 3 CD / 1 Blu-ray "Abbey Road" boxset at just under $90 now, I went ahead and pre-ordered it. It may get cheaper than that eventually, but not by much, so I figured go ahead and get it.

This is the first of these Beatles remastered albums I've bought but probably not the last (especially if next year's "Let It Be" release is as mega-loaded as expected.)

The Sgt Pepper and White Album 50th sets are both really great. If you like the Abbey Road you should pick them up too.

I ordered the vinyl and the super deluxe, looking forward to it!

My copy of the Super Deluxe just came in. I think of the three 50th sets the Abbey Road 5.1 mix is my favorite.

Of those 2, I mostly want the White Album Super Deluxe but am waiting for it to have a price drop.

I wish they give you the option of just buying the 5.1 mix

A new music video created for the remastered album was just released...

The Beatles - "Here Comes The Sun" (Official Video - 2019 Mix)

This was a great read. He has a video at the end of the article on page 2 where he muses on a few things and flips through the book. worth a watch. (sidebar comment: love his Roxy Music shirt )

I think the Something & Come and Get It Demos are the same ones that were released on Anthology 3. Have any of the other Demos or Outtakes been released on the Anthology Sets?

I've decided the 2-CD set is good enough for me this time around. I'm not blown away by the outtakes and demos like some other releases. The album remix is okay, kind of pointless in my mind, but I realize they needed a hook to sell everyone Abbey Road over again.

There are reports of some of the Blu-rays being defective.

I bought the super deluxe cd with book and blu ray and the 4 lp vinyl. I've gotten into vinyl the past couple of years and for me this was a no brainer.

I listened to the 4 lp vinyl and they sounded great, will be listening to this set for a long time.

The blu ray was terrific, so cool to hear it in 3 formats, direct stereo, DHT DT and Dolby Atmos... really cool.
