The new "Sgt. Pepper's" is available in a number of formats, a single CD, two CDs, two LPs and a box set with three CDs, high-resolution audio 5.1 channel and stereo DVD and Blu-rays that also include a terrific 1992 making-of "Sgt. Pepper's" documentary. The box set also had a beautifully illustrated hard cover book. For now I don't see any MP3, streaming or hi-res download options, but I assume they will be available soon. The two CD and two LP sets have fascinating session outtakes I'm sure hardcore Beatles fans will enjoy.

I bought the Blu-Ray and frankly I now believe it is a red herring. Yes it sounds great but does it sound much better than DVD audio? Not to my ears.The truth is, I don't have the luxury of being able to sit down often and put the blu-ray discs on to listen to the music at home. I have kids! There's more chance of Scooby Doo being on my telly than Neil Young.Like it or loathe it, most people listen to music on portable devices and/or in the car on CD, and that's how I have listened to (and loved) the Archives in the main.The BD-Live is a good idea in theory but the bottom line is, what use is it if I can't get the extra songs off my PS-3 and into my iTunes collection? Furthermore, any video downloads will likely not be in HD because the file size will be enormous. The only advantage I can conceive of would be the downloading of concerts etc but my point stands, if I can't get the audio files off the PS-3, what's use it ? I thought it was all about the music?To add insult to injury, when I downloaded the 1st BD-Live, it mentioned at the end that DVD owners could download the file separately. In other words, DVD owners can download it to their PCs and rip the audio for iTunes. This is infuriating.The other selling point of the BR was that the video content would be in HD, but that's not strictly true. Yes the filing cabinet etc is all HD but who wants to see pictures of a record or vintage cassette player revolving in HD? The hidden videos of Neiler playing (in the bar and with CSN) are in SD so in fact the crucial video content on the BR is not HD at all. WTF?and no Neiler @ the BBC in Feb 1971 in HD? Criminal :-(and JTTP is banal. and no extras like the full recording of Words in the barn? or CSN doing the back vox on Alabama? What a rip-off.I think I will be buying the DVD version next time. I love Neiler and I salute him for his innovation and of course the music but I think this has been ill-conceived and poorly implemented.
Thrash -i'm surprised you don't have any complaints whatsoever about the Archives. But that's cool...My major complaints - - Price- Lack of BluRay Live downloads (thus far)- GUI interface - it's challenging to get around, but passable, given the format- Hidden content - i don't see the point, people want to listen to the music, see the videos, they don't want to painfully search around for stuff on every disc, and then constantly forget where the buried stuff lies. Yawn. Neil could resolve this by ALSO including a separate disc with all the hidden content (instead, he gave us another copy of Canterbury - yawn)- lack of unreleased material - Neil kept a lot of stuff from this period buried - WHY? Aside from these major facts and shortcomings, i think the Archives is a remarkable piece of work. Hopefully Neil fine-tunes the format in future releases (and also gives us more unreleased material).Anonymous
The archives are obviously an excellent piece of work and I have spent many hours glued to the tv watching them. My only complaint is the hidden tracks. You can't listen to them in the play all feature and i would LOVE to have digital copies of these. Is it possible for the archives download card to allow you to download hidden tracks at a later time? Just a thought. But... words can't describe how awesome this set is
mp3 downloads? of the ARCHIVES? wha? who would ever want that? that's craazzzy.lovekarenjust kidding folks. i have to confess that i did actually, um, forget to download the mp3's for a loooong time after i got the archives, haha, that's kind of funny given that I HAD TO HAVE THEM. hold your commentary, archives guy! ; ) but for what it's worth, here's my (non-audiophile) view of them. they're fine (tech talk!). but ... they're not a replacement for THE BOX. for me, they just serve as a convenient way to get to know the archives tracks more intimately. i feel like i need to hear a song (or a record, in order, or the archives, in order) before i have an intimate relationship with it. so for me, having the mp3's of the ARCHIVES on my ipod is kind of like, you know, getting to know each other a little better. well. me, getting to know them. i don't think the archives are really getting to know me any better. WHAT. the end.
Really late to this party, but I just bought Archives brand enw in bluray, and it is stunning, BUT:I tried to download the mp3s (hey, I live in Los Angeles; my car is sorta my home) and I got a message saying:T"he following URL is not a valid download link. Please contact the site administrator if this message has been received in error."Any ideas as to what might be causing this? I sued 3 different browsers; same result.Walk on....Thanks!Peter
