If any other band re-released an album, you'd be fine with it, but if  a band you hate does it, how dare they, right? 

Cash cows are there to be milked and it's only fair that this album should be taken to the milking shed. This is where the Beatles really put the progressive into pop so it deserves a good milking. Whether it's worth it remains to be seen and given that the stereo mix and the mono mix get separate discs all to themselves, I'd prefer to just get the 2 disc edition with highlights from the outtakes discs.

I don't know how much value is there, but those who want to splurge can do so to their hearts content. It will look good up on the shelf with all the other special edition box sets that hardly ever get played.

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.

I don't have all reissues of every Pink Floyd, Yes, LZ, PG, Miles Davis...or Rush. Because some of these are a simple money grab. In many cases the metal work for these newer reissues are the same metal work from a reissue of say 10yrs ago.....Only difference is record/LP prices have appreciated due to demand, "so lets do it again!"

People need to better understand the whole world of "reissues/remasters..."

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.
