Awesome! I'll be going tomorrow to pick it up after I get out of class.
 
Don't quite know what to make of this review... it's not really one thing or another... if you want to review the album (the music), then a bit more detail wouldn't go amiss, like what makes these mixes any different to what you might expect from the Anthology series, etc.? In this case, it should be in the Music forum...

As a product, what makes it anything other than just another CD? I need convincing to buy albums on CD nowadays since I prefer to download (although one good reason to buy this CD is that it is not available (yet) on iTunes...) What is awesome about the case? Lyrics, artwork, detailed info on the recording/mixing? Enhanced features on the disc, like PC-viewable content?? More info = a better review.
 
The remastering of the songs is very impressive, the songs don't sound 'thin' compared to the original CD remasters.

Agreed. Essentially, this review is saying "this CD is awesome with many great mixes".
 
The 5.1 surround sound on the DVD is great, the songs are very clear and it all just works. It's all been remixed from the old 4 channel tapes into 6 channel sound and it shows. If you like The Beatles at all, this is worth having. My friend has it, his came with a CD and a DVD-A. You can buy it with just the CD, but I wouldn't (unless you can't take advantage of the DVD-A).
 
The CD has little bits of other songs (goodbye hello, Sgt Peppers) mixed in with stuff like Get Back, Glass onion, I am the walrus, etc. which makes for a very awesome effect, and the CD case is all psychedelic and stuff (:p), the booklet inside the case has pics of all the beatles in psychedelic stuff, some lyrics are slowed down, sped up, etc.

Song list:
1. Because
2. Get Back
3. Glass Onion
4. Eleanor Rigby / Julia (Transition)
5. I am the Walrus
6. I want to hold your hand
7. Drive my car/The Word/What You´re doing
8. Gnik Nus (Sun king played backwards)
9. Something/Blue jay way (Transition)
10. Being for the benefit of Mr. Kite/I want you (she´s so heavy)/Helter Skelter
11. Help!
12. Blackbird/Yesterday
13. Strawberry fields forever
14. Within you without you/Tomorrow Never Knows
15. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
16. Octopus´s Garden
17. Lady madonna
18. Here comes the sun/The inner light (Transition)
19. Come together/Dear prudence/cry baby cry
20. Revolution
21. Back in the U.S.S.R.
22. While my guitar gently weeps
23. A day in the life
24. Hey Jude
25. Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)
26. All you need is Love.

It was made in Abbey road studios from old Beatles tapes, from 2003-2006, by George Martin (Their old producer), and his son Giles.

It is also the music included in the show ¨LOVE¨ at Cirque Du Soleil and a place in Las Vegas.

👍 That's a bit more like it ;) Have to say, I am tempted by this, but I might be dead sneaky and buy it for my Dad's birthday or something! I like the concept of the album, but I don't think anybody other than George Martin would have pulled this off.
 
Oh yeah, I forgot to say it was on iTunes 2 months ago, when apple records made a deal with Apple Comput....I mean "inc." :p, but it was only for like 2-3 weeks or something like that.
