The Canadian Blu-Ray was simply an upconvert of the DVD and the 5.1-channel audio was a remix of the original mono track. A Hard Days Night would take another append to summarize that mess. The only thing we know is that the eventual release will include outtakes and a "making of" documentary.Īs far as Help! Blu-Ray is concerned, that is in Apple Corp's hands but the last DVD was really well restored, so it may take a while before they want to replace the DVD. So, Let It Be is not close to being done (an earlier verison may have been), but the process is continuing and it appears on track for a 2013 release. Since the MMT audio should have already been close to done with an October release date, I would have to believe that the secret project is the Let It Be audio. The LaserDisc also has a big note on it that it was remixed by George Martin.Īnd, speaking of the Martin's (George and Giles), Giles said in June 2012 that he was working on a "secret project".

Interestingly, the LaserDisc has a full stereo version of "Death Cab For Cutie", while the DVD (released later) has a mono mix. There is a lot that can be done to make it sound more like the songs did in the studio while still including the appropriate Beatles' flanges, distortion and compression.Īlso note that the stereo soundtrack on the MMT LaserDisc is actually clearer (it was partially remixed) than the DVD, which used the CD mixes. It's kind-of like going back to the Rubber Soul mixing for just the MMT songs (with the notable exceptions of MMT and I Am The Walrus). Take a listen and compare the two sources.Īlso notice on the remastered CDs how many of the MMT songs have no middle in the stereo mix, just instruments/vocals mixed hard left and hard right. The CD is a distorted mess (particularly towards the end of the song) while the 5.1-channel version of the song is clear and like a few layers of audible "dust" have been removed. The Anthology DVD snippet in 5.1-channel audio is a huge (!) leap over the CD. Also check the Anthology DVD for Your Mother Should Know. Music-wise, one needs to re-listen to the MMT remastered CD to realize how much more can be gained by a full remix. So, I would expect even the 16mm film from MMT to significantly improve with a Blu-Ray transfer (or 4K transfer to Blu-Ray HD). This was a late-1990s transfer and software/hardware for video production have improved tremdously since then. Second reference is that on the Anthology DVDs, snippets of the MMT songs with the film were shown. That we are seeing releases in the order specified by Lindsay-Hogg in 2011 is a good sign. He said MMT would be a DVD release but I think that's just a generalization for shiny disc. According to the stories, Let It Be's release would come in 2013 after the re-release of Magical Mystery Tour. First, back in October 2011, Michael Lindsay-Hogg, director of Let It Be, said that a restored Let It Be had been worked on for a number of years. I thought I'd throw a couple of references into the mix. Any mongrel edition (like the old DVD) won't be worth a thing. And that would depend on WHO is putting it out and if they have the rights. I'll believe it when I have it in my hands. Sonically I'd leave the audio 'as is' with the original mono track, perhaps a second track with stereo and/or 5.1 song mixes isolated.

MMT? Not worth much, but has a few decent passages, so if someone will upgrade the video accordingly, worth a purchase in either format. YSUB has its moments and the original DVD edition of that one was pretty special audio-wise.
They were having a holiday and it showed-but it's more than entertaining enough. I wasn't a fan of the dubbed-in stereo songs with the tape and laserdisc editions, but that was better than the 'upgraded' DVD edition, which also cropped the original image a bit, too.Īs for HELP!, nice job on the DVD, even if the film lacks all the magic that made AHDN so special. Don't blame any of them for burying it, it's depressing to watch except near the end.Īs for AHDN, the original audio elements for the film are long gone, from what I know, and unfortunately, when it was remastered for DVD, it was put in some bizarre faux 5.1 that sounds ridiculous and distracting. As we know that's in the 'a cold day in hell' category at Apple Corps.
