George fans, there will be REMIXED digital and vinyl configurations of ATMP and unreleased demos, outtakes, etc. at 6 different price points announced tomorrow (June10th), with the big Kahuna being an Uber deluxe set priced at $1,000.  Before you start crying ripoff, have a look at it and remember you can choose one of the lower priced sets if that's too much money for you.

I,too, own the original CD, the 2000 remaster with color cover in 3-D.
I am excited to compare all 3 as well.

Thank You for the extra information. All of these "new" mixes are geared toward the Server/Streamer generation. Let's hope the 50th edition is not overly compressed?

Happy Listening!

Yes! another exciting year (1970) for Classic Albums turning the big 5-0.

Happy Listening!

From the Rolling Stone article: 

 “You want to be respectful of the original,” says Hicks. “Dhani and I hate the expression ‘de-Spectorizing.’ That’s not the point of this project.”


Too bad-- that's exactly what I believe it needs! 


The article goes on: 

"In addition to celebrating the album’s 50th anniversary, Dhani Harrison says one of the goals of tweaking the mix is to make the album more sonically friendly to a new generation. “We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel,” he says. “But these mixes have to be able to stand up alongside contemporary music and with headphones. The original mixes sound flimsy on a playlist. These mixes will give this album so much more longevity with a younger generation.


Seems to me what the the "new generation" cares about most is convenience-- they're happy with Mp3's. Dhani's aim to render ATMP "more sonically friendly" for folks who don't care about SQ to begin with doesn't strike me as a recipe for satisfiying the ears of audiophiles!
