Yeah, at this point I think that the overdocumentation of January 1969 has become a rabbit hole. Sometimes I imagine how cool it would be if there was something like Get Back but about, say, the Revolver sessions or the She Loves You / With The Beatles / I Want To Hold Your Hand sessions (seriously...

Apple lost the negative to MMT so what they released in 2012 was a print and thus had faded colors. There was no negatives for MMT as it was shot with a special type of Kodak film the name of which escapes me but the film in the camera literally becomes the positive. But the MMT bluray is an abomin...

The first 200 copies of said TV SDE shall include an Odorama version of Self Portrait, with gimmick scratch-n-sniff cards prepared in the same manner as for the multi-nominated feature, Polyester. Twenty cards per box set. And a lock of someone’s nether hair. Could be anyone. That’s part of the bar...

Assuming that Michael has final say I'd like to imagine it's 4:3 because the Furmanek remaster (seen on HMC) was 4:3 and the unreleased Smeaton remaster (seen in Living in the Material World and McCartney 321.) was also 4:3 If it were coming out on dvd instead of going to streaming, I'd guess that ...

It seems YouTube has been upgrading their audio content to 160 kbps Opus, without telling anyone. Opus waveform.jpg Yes I noticed the opus audio option a long time ago but ignored it because my tv etc won't read that codec. It'll be interesting to see when the smoke has cleared what the new audio f...

What I want to know is when there'll be a Two Virgins Ultimate Mix SDE. Complete with a lavish quarto book full of all the unused shots for the album cover. And a bluray of the film Self Portrait. And a bonus cd of that tape of John nad Yoko having sex as played to Michael Lindsay Hogg. And reproduc...

Youtube seem to have completely changed their delivery system. It'll take a while for everyone to catch up.

The worst thing they've done recently is downgrade all audio on the free option to 50kb/s. Not sure if you can still get 128 if you sign into a free account.

It surely wasn't shot in safe 4:3 mode for widescreen because if you just matte the top and bottom with black bars then half of Paul's face disappears during LIB and TLAWR, and also in other close ups. The only way they could get it into widescreen was to crop each shot differently. IMO it should ab...

It will never look great. It's a colour film recording of a lost videotape, made by pointiong a colour film camera at a monitor. Very lossy process.

I doubt there'll be a physical release if Disney is involved. Last time, they said "we don't do blurays anymore" and then were pestered into it, but they went ahead and pressed thousands of copies and started selling it BEFORE they got PJ's approval. Duh. And then they were mightily pissed...
