I'm still hugely looking forward to it.
Each to their own but I don't see personally how it's possible to overrate or overstate its importance.
consisting of only out-takes , but in original album order.
No remixes, however good or bad.
Each could have alternative sleeve covers too.
Great album. As it was and is and it needs nothing else.
More money for old rope from old people.
The Tomorrow Never Knows take 1 they shared is awful. The world doesn't need to hear that. Just go back and really listen to the original track. The drum loop is absolutely mind blowing today never mind in 1966.
The White Album one a bit less so, although there's still a lot to like. With both of them, the bonus was the extra disc with early developmental takes and demos of songs that aren't on the album. I didn't bother with Abbey Road because without buying the very expensive full box set, you only got a disc of alternate takes of the album tracks. Let It Be didn't even seem to have that option.
The Special Edition of Revolver does look like it might have some good stuff on it though, I might get that...

I still think all these old Beatles tracks are best heard in mono, but I agree totally with @ICBM about Sgt Pepper. To my ears, this is the same- it's a totally new mix that is on the one hand proper stereo with a clear balance, but on the other hand retains much of the clarity and force and overall 'wow' factor the mono mixes had.
The original stereo mixes of Beatles stuff is really dated to my ears- always was- but it's been in the public realm for so long that it will always be enough for many people. Each to their own.
Thank god for Spotify, eh? I'll give this one play through, skip through a few of the unreleased tracks and then probably not bother with it again. Job done, cash saved, rinse and repeat with Rubber Mallet next year, A Soft Night's Day the year after, and so on.
