Revolver 2022... it's ON!

[AndInTheEnd]

I don't know if they're the only supplier, but they've not had copies to pre-order for some time.

Any road up.. they - or anyone - won't be getting an order from me; this one is grossly overpriced for very little.. IMHO.

In contrast Jethro Tull boxsets have so far been fantastic value.. as have XTCs "boxsets on a BluRay", even moreso.

What version is it that reviewers already have? So it seems to be completed and shippable.

I checked 2 shops - German and Belgian - both still announcing a 28 October release

I mean I guess the one plus if physical stuff gets cancelled is that we'll probably get more outtakes, feels like the revolver outtakes were limited to fit to vinyl, although I feel like they're REALLY been pushing vinyl recently so the chances of them getting rid of vinyl are are a bit slim imo

My feelings about this are (and I know it may upset some people so please take it with a pinch of salt) that they are gearing towards the box sets being vinyl-only, with future digital sets being download/streaming only. The bluray going absent was the first step in this masterplan. Rubber Soul might make it through unscathed, but after that I think we're talking goodbye to the cd boxes. Remember that there's precedent for this: the Christmas records set some years ago. I think the first five albums will come in scaled-down boxes with booklets instead of full bown books, maybe even just the remix and one lp of outtakes.

I could be wrong (I hope I am) but Please Please Me is six years away and cds and blurays are likely to be on par with wax cylinders by that time. Vinyl however I predict will just keep getting more and more popular.

I hope you're wrong about this, but you've made some pretty good arguments. CD box sets just aren't the cash cows they used to be, and it doesn't help that Apple is managing the situation by giving fans less and less with each passing box set. I just don't get the thinking behind the "EP" discs on the LIBDE and the RDE. Like, how could anyone think they're a good idea? I'd rather have the extra 4 tracks from EPs squeezed onto one of the other discs.

I wonder about the books though. Does anyone have an idea how many copies the GET BACK BOOK sold? Was it a good seller?

Just like Apple now, seemingly, focusses on merch rather than media for its income, I wonder if, in the future, lavish gift books might be a more profitable venture than CD box sets.

Disney have no nothing to do with the Beatles recordings or films other than Get Back. But it's an understandable misconception, given that their branding was all over the Get Back project - which was then exclusively available through their very own on-demand Disney+ streaming service.

They bought the worldwide distribution rights for the film and officially that's it. They do seem to have a lot of influence over most aspects of the footage shot by Michael Lindsay-Hogg (used or unused). including possible future releases of the material such as a complete rooftop performance or an extended special edition, with plenty of filmed complete performances. That would be nice and I'd definitely be up for some more eavesdropping on The Fabs conversations too!

But - apart from the above - Disney have absolutely no say over the rest of the Beatles back catalogue. I'm sure they'll make the most of Get Back, though. Just wait and see!

Who wants to make a $5,000 bet? Since no one EVER pays attention to the World Economic Forum or all the corporations that are part of it's full support of the 'Own nothing and be happy' agenda and most people are obedient to the UN socialist agenda and refuse to even discuss politics I can easilly answer this and win all bets! I said it two years ago - all music and production companies were told March/April of 2000 that a launch of a Multimedia cloud in 2025 will end all phtsical media releases. Gaming platforms are already most of the way compatable for the shift to the cloud. All television and film networks are making sure '+' networks will be the solid versions of tv and movies, so they are almost compatable. Music industry is trying to bait the consumers to WANT physical media as long as possible, because much like the introduction of internet and free downloading, the music industry has no idea how to make maximum profit off of internet platforms. They have been trying for five years or more to overplay repetitive music over the radio to convince younger music fans that the music will always be there so no need to buy it 'just click a like button on a media site' instead as most music fades away unpreserved. You can lie and say there's a lot of regular and rare music by artists and bands, but try to remember all the groups for decades that have been out of print, no outtakes and now scarece to find. All while everyone focuses only on like the top 50 or so artists or groups. Everyone kept sayin a few years ago 'oh it'll always be findable thanks to the internet'. But it's not. Thanks to many governments with censorship and all, sites close/vanish. Now there are false claims that the 2025 media cloud will use Windows 11's computer hijacking capabilities and pull everyone's media into the cloud and tell you it's a 'good thing' and helps to 'preserve' all media, but it won't. It will erase unofficial stuff. It will erase everything others own as well as you will no longer own your media, you will be sharing what some corporation considers 'best quality' with others. Their ideas on how and which corporations will control the cloud are still in the works, since this year and next year are the criteria of banks eliminating car loans and mortgages. That is fact too, top three banks ended car loans starting in September. It just didn't hit all banks yet. So, not to get into media's politics, who wants to bet?

Not beyond their streaming service. lol. ok, here is a solid tip, Stores will sell less and less discs of movies and music, streaming and downloading will be the norm by 2025. The media will dictate that it's the natural trend of the 'current generations' and you will believe it because they tell you to. News these days is liberal/socialist for a reason. If you are told everyone's opinions of people and news and ordered to believe that over factual news then it's easy to control you by making you think you are 'following trends'.

I just checked Universal, still the 28th... There were rumours that Ringo's EP 3 would be delayed and I got it on time. So I am confident that Revolver will be released on time.

[harrythebannister]

Still the 28th on Amazon although Ringo’s EP3 vinyl has been delayed till mid Nov.
