More squeezing of every last drop of juice out of the Apple, so to speak.

I have the doc on VHS which I didn't pay a lot for, lol. Suits me fine
for as often as I watch it.

And the three original CD's, I couldn't see investing in them again
just for a few extras.

OK, so you are not interested in video and audio presumably better than
the old VHS or DVD. And have no interest on what may be of the new (and presumably 'improved') CDs. Techology has come a long way since 2003,
not always 'for worse'.

The doco might be worth a watch either way.

Count me in!

I'd rather be bled dry for Beatles music and merch than the
shit that passes for music these days.

Of course we'll all watch it... it's what we do!

I'd rather be bled dry for Beatles music and merch than the
shit that passes for music these days.

I got into vinyl about 5 or 6 years ago as the resurgence really started
to pick up speed and have bought a handful of "new" releases - but the overwhelming majority of my music collection is mid-60s to very
early-200s, and almost nothing past that. I just don't get new music, it's almost universally shite, as far as I can tell anyway. I'm in my
mid-forties, so middle-aged and not simply an angry old man, raging at the dying of the light, but music really was better back in the day...

The Anthology volumes were released on vinyl, I think, right? I'll check Discogs shortly, bet they'd cost an absolute fortune. If this re-release
were to include vinyl editions to really milk the Beatles fan-base, I'd be happy with that - Anthology 2 & 3 are fantastic, and I regularly listen to those CDs. Good vinyl pressings of them, I'd really enjoy having those.

Yes, all three previous volumes were available as LP's.

You can pick them up second-hand for around -u50--u80 (depending
on condition) on Discogs...

However, you could always go down this route...

My vinyl fetish likes the look of that!!! :-)

'Interested in vinyl' is a thing in itself.

Get whatever music you can in whatever format you can. But, FWIW, the CD version is the more definitive of whatever source.

Apple *refuses* to issue and reissue needed Beatles music:
over 50 years of digital and Apple has never released the
uncompressed Abbey Road, like the original UK vinyl,
just CDs and downloads muffled by compression and then
further muffled by so-called Noise Reduction.

I have the doc on VHS which I didn't pay a lot for, lol. Suits me fine for as often as I watch it.

And the three original CD's, I couldn't see investing in them again just for a few extras.

The 6 CDs of Anthology released in the mid-90s were saturated
with noise reduction. All they have to do is to release it
without noise reduction for a vast improvement in sound
quality but I'm not expecting Apple to do that, Apple is
obsessed with revisionist engineering, and keeping the
originals off the market.

OK, so you are not interested in video and audio presumably better than the old VHS or DVD. And have no interest on what may be of the new (and presumably 'improved') CDs. Techology has come a long way since 2003, not always 'for worse'.

Technology progress is of no use if it's being
used to muffle the sound. I don't like Apple's
engineering of muffling the loud notes by
Compression and muffling the quiet notes by
Noise Reduction, or the glorified fake stereo called
"de-mixing".
