I'm not a Beattles fan, but on a whim, I ordered the 50th Anniversary Edition Abbey Road Deluxe 4 disc (3 CD's and 1 Blue Ray with Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio, and PCM Stereo capabilities) collection. The real gem is the 100 page hard cover booklet with tonnes of amazing images from the artists to the recording process. Studio shots and images of the artists with various instruments. Previously unreleased photos and music. The sound in Dolby Atmos is short of heaven. Again, not a Beattles fan, but the sound is incredible. Completely remastered from 8 track recording by some pretty well known engineers at Abbey Road Studios. A little too heavy on the bass and sounds I've never heard before on other masters..................

Arrived in two days flat via Prime. Came in bulletproof double box. It would even survive a Purolator delivery.

COT DAM!!


Addendum: After listening to all three modes, Dolby Atmos is by far the best, but even with the latest equipment, you are using source material that has degraded over time. Every time you play a tape, information deteriorates. That was one of the things Fleetwood Mac Rumours suffered from. Engineers on that remaster, had little to no choice but to use backups on some cuts. High frequencies like high hat and cymbals just sound like something coming out of a space ship exhaust pipe (can't think of anything else, atm).

Nothing beats a live performance, but when that's not possible.............................

Dirty look from MG1 can melt steel beams.
