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. For more info see these threads:

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! |
Well, we'll see. . . On my cheap HK computer speakers, this sounds less muddy than versions I've heard so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWV4pFV5nX4 |

At least going by the reaction curve on the Steve Hoffman forum where the usual initial high expectancy has now tapered off to a gradual disappointment. Yet again. Sometimes I get the impression that deep down we audiophiles seem to be a childlike optimistic lot. Always hoping to rediscover that elusive magic. Unfortunately for us the music industry doesn't work like that. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/george-harrison-all-things-must-pass-50th-anniversary-edition... |
