I got the blu ray deluxe set yesterday from HMV, it cost £35. I've had a look through the book and it is very detailed, I'll watch the videos later on tonight. Very happy

My Amazon Canada order got delayed, saying they didn't know when they would get it, so I canceled it. Think I'm going to have to race out to Best Buy now! I don't want to wait till next weekend to have time to listen and watch. Thanks, B4E&E, for the review!
Much to my surprise, Amazon.Com, which had indicated to me when I placed the order that it would be delivered on the 12th or 13th, had it on my stoop first thing yesterday morning...on the same day it was released!!! I was going to rush to Best Buy yesterday...when I could find the time.... until I discovered the extremely prompt delivery!!! I couldn't wait until the 12th. Thank you, Amazon.Com!!!!! P.S. You'll love it!!!
Went to Best Buy, and in the new releases, there were only a few deluxe ones there, so I grabbed one. While browsing the rest of their (very small) CD section, I noticed a bunch more in the regular Beatles section. So anyway, I went home and opened it, looked great, and we watched well over half the videos, and some of them really looked stunning and sharp. But just before bed, I was looking at the credits in the booklet, and suddenly it occurred to me that it was saying DVD instead of Blu-ray. I bought the wrong one!! But oh well, I'm not driving back to the store again, it looks fine, and realistically, in ten years, I'll probably be buying them all again in Platinum-Ray or some other new format we've never heard of yet! Just be careful, everyone, and look at that little sticker on the front of the package to be sure what format you're getting!

this is so exciting! I can't wait to get my copy. debating if I should ask for christmas or get my copy at best buy. how much does it cost?
It's probably discounted this week at Best Buy, but not sure of cost. At Amazon, the price when I placed my order was $59.98. On shipment date it was reduced to $48.88, which is what I was charged.

That's also true if you're just shopping for the CD. The ones they have in stock are the 2009 versions, not the new stereo mixes. Apparently they didn't order...or haven't received the new CDs. The new mixes are specifically marked that way, so look for that on the packaging, or you most likely will accidentally purchase the 2009 version....if that's all your looking to buy.

I changed my mind and cancelled the Amazon Canada order and ordered from Amazon U.S. Since the price was reduced, with tax and free shipping, it only came to $51.81 (which is about what the one from Canada would have been)

Depending on your sales tax rate (ours is 6%) that would be $52.99 or more.

True, just thought I'd put it out there in case anyone wants to go to a physical store vs. online.

I'm about to buy this set again but on DVD to rip all of the audio of the live versions and 1+ videos that are unique from the CD. Real Love is an absolute gem; it may have surpassed my love of FAAB. When that happens I'll be sure to let people know.

Free As A Bird is an amazing video!

Absolutely adore the Jeff Lynne remixes but HATE the FAAB inner aspect ratio that makes it look like I'm watching a smaller widescreen tv within my screen. What is up with that aspect ratio?!
I'll answer my own question that it was presented as widescreen back in 1995 in standard definition. So the transfer to HD had to be done the way it is currently presented with the side bars.

amazon.com is saying the new reissue of the 2 LP vinyl set will not be released until Dec. 4th! So if you're buying a vinyl copy be sure it says 2015.

I will agree that the video actually enhances my enjoyment of the song.

I love the new mix of "Real Love" too. Feels much fuller.

I see it with black all the way around, not just on the sides. I assumed it had something to do with the resolution of the original, that if they made it fill the screen it would look too pixelated.

Yes that is correct; black bars all around because it was originally a widescreen film. I verified the video on the Anthology DVD as widescreen. But in order to keep it's original aspect ratio they had to add the side bars as well for the HD transfer.

I like the song. Is it the best thing the Beatles ever did? No. Is it better than You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) or Wild Honey Pie? GOD YES!!

Hey, listen up. Amsterdam bar back in 1980. Rob hits the jukebox looking for Beatles. Not easy in 1980. Found Let It Be...ok yawn. So I kept spinning the flip: by the end of the night, I'd had heaps of free beers and the Dutch were left with an education. Wild Honey Pie? Well...you can blame Patti for that garbage.
