up for preorder is The Magical Mystery Tour on blu ray
Stating the obvious, there is a difference between being into the Beatles' music versus loving everything they did. I re-watched MMT last year. I know that Paul McCartney hoped that the film might be re-appreciated at some point. I think not, as it still awful.JamesNelson said:Being a lifelong fan, I'm in for this. I'm old enough to have bought Bealtes LPs in stores upon their initial release.
Are there no artists you admire whose lesser works nonetheless merit a place in your collection?rich_d said:Stating the obvious, there is a difference between being into the Beatles' music versus loving everything they did.

My EP of MMT is still fairly mint. I like the music for MMT, but have never cared much for the movie. Maybe it's because I've only seen it in faded-print VHS versions. It will be interesting to see what it looks like on Blu.Billy Batson said:That's good, I'd like to see it again, but not enough to buy the Blu-ray. Wow it's been 45 years since I saw it on the telly, Christmas 1967, I can't remember if it went out on Christmas day, I do remember my dad not being very impressed "what's this load of old rubbish". I had the EP (with booklet) for years 'till it was falling apart. I have the remastered CD of the LP version & still really enjoy it. All you need is love...& money in the bank & booze in the house!
Your point is taken. But just to be clear, I do have the MMT video in my collection that I picked up on the cheap.JamesNelson said:Are there no artists you admire whose lesser works nonetheless merit a place in your collection?
Apparently you're unaware of the fact that the Beatles' music producer Sir George Martin's son Giles has remixed the songs into 24-bit lossless 5.1-channel surround...THERE'S a reason for double-dipping into the BD format, as this has never been available to the Fab Four's music fans commercially.Originally Posted by rich_d /t/323175/magical-mystery-tour-on-blu-ray-oct-9#post_3965299

I love the Beatles and I love the MMT album. But to purchase a hi-def video of that bit of nonsense? That to me is absurd. The story and 'acting' performances are not getting any better in hi-def. If I want to listen to the music I can listen to the album without seeing any appallingly bad 'concept' videos. If you haven't seen it and are curious about it, borrow it from some library and rent it. You can thank me later for not buying it. YMMV.

A Hard Day's Night needs a decent BD release, as the current (Canadian) release is 1080i from the DVD master.
