Been some mention of this release on off-topic other threads. Some have had the privilege it seems to have heard a lot of the outtake type of stuff. Which I love. I love the outtakes stuff.... The Anthology was a dream to me. So..... do I spend $260 on the whole biz?.... Is it worth it?... My usual recourse might be to go all out... but I am also mindful of the fact I am getting a little tired of shelling out for things that are a bit 'non-value'..... so, should I spend $260 on everything, or just $40 or so on the remastered album and the minimal outtakes version?... is the margin between the two worth it?....
If you ordered it through an American seller like Amazon and paid for shipping, wouldn't it be cheaper than the $260 in Australia? With the conversion, it would cost you $184 (Australian) Surely the shipping would be a lot less than $76!
Shipping expensive when one wants it delivered immediately.... that being said, I went the Australian option.... cost a bit more, but I am a man of impatience. Really looking forward to this!!

Toris, I sent you a PM that you never read about the price drop to $117.99 on Amazon!

It looks like everyone is getting into the Sgt. Pepper spirit!

I have been enjoying this set for a over two weeks. Looking forward to getting the physical boxed set though. I am happy with the 2017 remix. The two outtakes disks sound amazing!. The 4th disk with the mono recordings don't really excite me. Never been a fan of the mono but I'm sure others will enjoy! My pal went to the playback in NYC and met Giles Martin and Elvis Costello. Would have loved to be able to have gone!

Hi Bob Gannon! How are you doing? I hope all is well with you and your family. Like yourself, I'm also looking forward to receiving my Sgt. Pepper Boxset! I can't wait to listen to the 2017 remix as well as the two outtakes disc's! As the saying goes: "A SPLENDID TIME IS GUARANTEED FOR ALL!" That's too bad that you missed out on meeting Giles Martin and Elvis Costello, hopefully you'll get another chance later. Take care.

A worrying (for me anyway) review of the 2017 remix: 'My big beef is with the dynamic range. I mean, there isn't any. None. Everything is just constantly loud and it became fatiguing for me after about 15 minutes. I don't want to sound negative but I wish they'd concentrated on making the stereo image better and not tried to make everything sound loud.' Scroll down to the main Disc 1 review at the end of the 2nd blog www.wogew.blogspot.co.uk This sounds like Memory Almost Full all over again.

Amazon finally charged my card for my pre-order... and now my status says Preparing For Shipment.... So I guess these are going out today for delivery on Friday. Can't wait.

They charged me too - $10 less than when I ordered! I'm at AROTR, so will have to wait until I get home on Tuesday!

Not so good for me. Got an email from our "premier store" in Australia that their supplier had delayed the release by a week. So I will be waiting until 2 June, and even then they might delay. They did the same thing with Tug of War/Pipes of Peace. The way it's going I might've been better going Amazon and waiting for it to be shipped from the States. Peeved. Angry. Annoyed. But, as they say in the classics (or at least as hinted in that Simpsons' episode): There's nothing like the "moment of anticipation".

My Sgt Pepper Boxset arrived a day early this morning and it's just so amazing I will listen to it later.
