Revolver goes Deluxe in October

These reissues have a purpose. Firstly, the 50-60 year old legendary albums needs an excuse to create some extra buzz once a decade or so. Otherwise they will mostly just be remembered and listened to by those who already know it.

-Kids and teenagers won't buy this deluxe box, but some will get to know the latest remix on Spotify. And it will probably sound better to them than the previously available version would. I suppose it's shame, but that's just how it is. A 1960's band that has never remastered music files from back in the day of up on streaming services, will probably come across as weak and wimpish to newbies that has discovered updated versions of some of the classics of the era. All this said, personally I'm more than pleased with my old Revolver LP bought second hand, and will stick to that. But if I'm DJ'ing, I might be curious to check out if a newly remixed Tomorrow Never Knows pack a bigger punch than the one I know and got - or just how much, really.

The lack of Blu-ray with 5.1 sound means we aren't buying the full box set. I will get the 2CD stereo remix with the extra tracks. It's frankly sad they aren't including a Blu-ray with this release. Giles seemed to distance himself from that decision on social media.
