All Things Must Pass 50th Anniversary sets due to be announced tomorrow

Dhani Harrison and Klaus Voormann in a Rolling Stone article:

Equally fascinating, the core All Things Must Pass has been subtly remixed — both to bring added sonic clarity to Spector’s lovingly dense and echo-heavy arrangements and to adhere to Harrison’s own wishes before his death in 2001. “He hated the reverb,” Dhani says. “He said this to me a million times: ‘God, that reverb!’” Voormann also recalls Harrison making similar comments to him years later about the multiple overdubs: “I remember him saying, ‘It’s too much,’” Voormann says.

@tomcy6:

Some "added sonic clarity" would be most welcome ! ! ! 

@stuartk, 

Yes it would.  Early reports are that it comes with a healthy dose of compression, unfortunately,.  Give it a listen with an open mind and make up your own mind, as always.

which 50th package did you purchase? CD or LP?

Happy Listening!

@jafant My freak out that my COAX driver on my Thiel CS3.7 was damaged after listening to ATMP the last 2 days may have been too quick to judgement. Yesterday, after I listened to the song HEAR ME LORD on disk 2 of the 50th anniversary release on TIDAL MQA 192khz. I was getting distortion only on this song at the 39 second mark when George starts humming. The rest of the disk sounded fine.

I played this track about 10 times last night and it happened every since time. Though it was not that much of an issue on my KEF LS50 or RAAL SR1a headphones. There was something there but not as ugly as on the Thiel CS3.7.

Well today I am playing this fabulous disk again (stream) on my Thiel CS3.7 and HEAR ME LORD has no problems.

So my take away is that to not use streaming to evaluate the health of my speakers.
