@AndyP Now that’s an alternative option - just looked at Qobuz, and even though I don’t have a streaming account (just the standard purchase account), the whole deluxe box set can still be downloaded for £47.49. Will also check out HD Tracks and High Res Audio for their prices tomorrow.
@steviebee That’s the approach I’m debating too, the only thing holding me back is having the others on vinyl!
Yes worth shopping around - a sublime subscription is a great deal. The deals on Hi Res are quite amazing - not to mention being able to stream.
Yes, their download purchase prices for subscribers are very good indeed, but for my legacy old timer UQ2, a full Qobuz subscription would be of no use currently. When I do (eventually) upgrade, then I will be exploring options.
Yes I know I had the same problem so having taken the plunge with a Qobuz sublime subscription only one thing I could do and that was to buy an ND555 
Gone.
True, but I figure I won’t be playing the bonus LPs much after a few listens, so I’m happy enough with them on CD. Then it’s just a question of vinyl lust for the mono!
I’m going with the cd box set, and if it lands on my doorstep tomorrow, that will be a bonus.
@AndyP Very nice too with the 555 - lucky boy! I’m aiming for a ND5XS2 all being well next year. Should in theory be an improvement over the UQ2.
@Swanny Agree - I do want the vinyl boxed set, for the book as much as the vinyl!
@steviebee Good point. I only occasionally play the extra discs from the other releases. Agree re the Mono variant. I have the CD Mono box set only, so an all analogue Mono LP of Revolver would be something special.
Garbage album before they do their digital trickery anyway.
Yup. Me too with the Mono Box CD set…maybe once the hubbub has died down they’ll release a standalone mono LP.
Isn’t the mono LP the same as the “Beatles in Mono “ box set mastering?
Chris, I believe it’s a brand new mastering.
Not long now…a new day, a new Revolver!
Thanks Alan, the vinyl box set beckons!
Giles Martin’s latest Beatles remaster is due to land tomorrow! They’ve been excellent so far. I hope that Rubber Soul will be next…….
Why the title? ‘Revolution’, wonderful as it was, was a B side to the ‘Hey Jude’ single release.
My typo error. Should be ‘Revolver’, but maybe it will also be a Revolution.
BTW, being a ‘B side’ on a Beatles single was no suggestion of lesser quality to the ‘A side’.
Ah, right, silly me, as I’m looking forward to that hugely too - it had never really occurred to me until just now that the two titles are so similar. So much happened in Beatles-land in that short intervening period between ‘Revolver’ and ‘Revolution’.
I remarked somewhere else that it was a great shame that at the time of these original releases, tracks that had been released as singles (even as B sides) weren’t included on albums.
The brilliant White Album would have been even better (in my opinion, that is) with the sheer balls-out noise of ‘Revolution’ rather than the dirge-like drone of ‘Revolution No 1’ on the album. And to top it all, they could have included music instead of the rubbish that is ‘Revolution No 9’ - one of the only occasions (if not in fact the only one) when a CD might be preferable to the equivalent CD. That must be one of the few occasions when George Martin was asleep at the wheel. I wonder what Giles makes of it.
But Apple won’t be worried at all by what I think.
I love both Revolution and No.1, which I don’t regard as ´dirge like’ at all, just a change of time signature to what is a brilliant tune. I agree with you about No. 9.
Since I started this topic I realised that there was already one started about this remaster. I’m not sure why it didn’t appear on my radar within the forum app. That seems to happen quite often.
Now don’t start that kind of talk, or some of the Young Turks on the Forum will start agitating for us to be relegated to an Elder Section, Senior Section or just plain Past It Section, where we will only be allowed to discuss the rosy pink days before CDs existed, Jimmy Page was a mere (but highly paid) session musician backing Long John Baldry or whoever, and Brian Wilson was sitting in a giant sandpit at his piano picking out tunes for the masterpiece that was to be SMiLE.
