I hadn't heard about this. I don't think I want too know too much because it's out of my price range at the moment. LOL

I just pre ordered the boxset icon_love cheer1 icon_king

where?

Wow, that sounds amazing

where?
Amazon
-
Looks like they might finally be doing an anniversary box set well. It looks tempting.
We never saw anything on revolver last year did we?

I am sorely tempted! I just saw that my state tax refund went into the bank today. It would cover this nicely but unfortunately Uncle Sam will have has hand out in less than two weeks and we're also still recovering from some big vet bills. I guess I'll have to just save up for it like I did for things when I was a kid. I wonder if I could get some babysitting jobs? It might be fun to go to someone else's house and watch TV all evening. LOL
-
That 5.1 mix sounds exciting, but not the price you'll have to pay for it! I'll settle for the 1 or 2 CD set. :-\
-
Tempting indeed. The extra's look really great and I'm interested in the book. How much is it?
-
Over here 129 euro for the Super Deluxe Version.
-
I've preordered the 2CD's version - I can afford that and I can hardly wait to hear it!
Considering (future) anniversary issues of their albums, I think they should always issue unreleased tracks with the reissue as the seoncd disc.
I think we are very 'hungry' to hear 'new' Beatle material from the archives! ;yes

My Sgt Pepper Boxset arrived a day early this morning and it's just so amazing I will listen to it later.

Let us know how it is, Euan.
Mine is expected to ship on May 31st from Amazon.
-
I ordered the 2 CD version and the vinyl.
People are reporting that the vinyl sounds great.
And, because I'm crazy, I'll also get the Super Deluxe set eventually.
-
Nah. You're not crazy, George. The vinyl will sound great on your system.
The only reason I passed on the Super Deluxe set is because I have a first pressing MONO Sgt. Pepper LP.

Barry, that's one reason I passed on the Super Deluxe (for now) - I have the mono on CD and vinyl, and the mono on this new set isn't a remix.
-
^
My exact reasoning too. I handle that first pressing so carefully! I look forward to hearing the new MONO CD in the set and how it compares to the one in my 2009 MONO box set.

Euan, mine's due to arrive tomorrow but after seeing this post earlier today I checked the porch, just in case! It's in East Syracuse right now, Barry.
-

It just has to get by those Finger Lakes.

Right!

Well I have to say it sounds great Giles Martin did a fantastic job. I have listened to all the CDs and the sessions are just amazing. Yes I listened to it yesterday when it was such a hot day outside I should have been outside enjoying the sun but listening to the new re realease was much more important . I will watch the DVD today.
-
It's here! I was a little nervous about what I might find inside, given the condition of the outside box, but it was well-protected and all appears well. The official unboxing will have to wait until tonight, since I'm just home for lunch. Amazon has the CD streaming for Prime members. I'm not sure about the other services.
-
Enjoy the box set, Euan and Kelley.
And Happy 50th Birthday Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band!

Sat in the car before school pickup yesty - a radio station played the whole of Sgt Pepper. Even though I hardly listen to it these days, it was still magical
-
Enjoy the box set, Euan and Kelley.
I already am and I haven't even taken the lid off yet. Of all the days to have to work late!
And Happy 50th Birthday Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band!
And you've already got the pertfect avatar for the celebration, Barry!
-
I ordered the 2 CD version and the vinyl.
I ordered the Super Deluxe Edition and wound up with an album and no discs! Part of me wants to be super deluxe p*ssed, but Amazon is good about making things right. I know because I had to send back my Magical Mystery Tour Box Set because the EP was scratched. ha2ha Part of me also wants to play the album and read the book before I send it back but I won't.
Mine is expected to ship on May 31st from Amazon.
That when I'll get my replacement (or else!).

I hope PBS rebroadcasts that special. I'll be on a train returning from Philadelphia at 8:00 PM this Saturday.
-
They will. The website says it premieres on Saturday.

I'm surprised that our PBS station will have it on. When PBS showed Magical Mystery Tour and the special just before it, we got an exciting show featuring nutritionist J.J. Virgin. ha2ha

Take a nap on the train, then!

I better not do that. The ride is only 52 minutes. If I oversleep, I'll wind up in NYC Penn Station!

I listened to the vinyl yesterday. Very nice.

Nice to hear, George! The MONO LP is the best way to hear Sgt. Pepper's.

My box set will arrive on the 50th anniversary of the release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band here in the U.S.

The remix has cojones like the mono, something the original stereo lacked.

Happy Pepper Day!

Nice to see your AT-PL120 turntable spinning that LP, George!
On your review, I just ordered the remixed STEREO LP. It will complement my Parlophone first-pressing LP perfectly. My old 1967 STEREO LP is a mess. It's been played backward and forward at all different speeds looking for clues. ;)
My box set arrived today...a day early. But I won't have a chance to see and listen to all it has to offer until Saturday night.

Well, Amazon gave me a free download of the two LPs and the digital booklet. What a nice surprise preview of the LPs!
-
And there it is! The ultimate clue!
12 - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) (Remix) 1:08
Until now, you could only hear it on the MONO LP. It's even clearer on the 2017 STEREO Remix!
;)

Oh, and A Day In The Life sounds great!!
It was Paul

You mean they packed the two LP album into your box, Kelley? In all likelihood, Amazon will let you keep what you got and send you a new (and hopefully properly assembled) box set. I can see how they made that error. When the shrink-wrap is on, the two will be hard to tell apart. The cover is a replica of an original Parlophone MONO LP cover.
You better get a good turntable to play your LPs on. :)

Not exactly..

I'm glad you think so, Barry because that's exactly what did happen, only I did it. I know it sounds really dumb but I was so sure that was an album and I was afraid I wouldn't get credited if I opened it. When the second one came I was thinking more clearly and opened everything up. Yes, I'm a dingbat.

I thought you said I just needed a good stylus. :)

So is this stereo LP AAA or digital mix?????

Just to reassure you, In My Life, I almost did the same thing.
I thought they'd given me the vinyl and not the CDs so I re-checked my order to make sure I hadn't made a mistake and started to look for the Amazon return slip.
Then I decided I'd better look inside the shink wrap just in case.
I carefully cut open a small part at the bottom thinking that if necessary I could put some sellotape back on.
I saw the CDs were swimming around inside and was mighty relieved.
All's well that ends well.

Indeed.

That was a great show! Thanks, Kelley.

Watched the BBC2 documentary "Sgt. Pepper's Musical Revolution" earlier this evening and thoroughly enjoyed it. Written and presented by Howard Goodall it explored the innovative "nuts and bolts" of the recording, stripping away and re-constructing the musical layers and illustrating the boundary breaking wizardry of the sessions during which The Beatles treated the studio as both playground and laboratory. It featured some previously unheard (outside of EMI Studios) outtakes and inter-song chit-chat between the boys, but what intrigued me most was Goodall's in depth analysis of some tracks whilst completely ignoring others. Fascinating stuff.

Possible to watch it outside the UK?

I Need to rewatch that I fell asleep during it :o

Check BBC, if you get that there, Cor.

How does the new remix sound? I've listened to a couple of podcasts which play some examples and it does sound, through that imperfect medium, quite a bit heavier and clearer than the previous mixes. How does it sound on a proper stereo set up?

My LPs arrived and I had the chance to listen to them last night, Moog. The new stereo remix sounds great! Heavier and clearer as you mentioned. It's a fine companion to my 1967 Parlophone first pressing MONO LP. I still prefer the original MONO LP. She's Leaving Home should never have been sped up the way it was on the old STEREO LPs and on this new remixed LP. It sounds much sadder on the MONO LP.

Awaiting Father's Day.

I hope you've hinted strongly.

I did. Plus it's my birthday Monday.
