Interesting read. It seems amazing to me what they can do with some of this stuff. The Beatles as the article mentioned frequently pushed the edges of the day's tech by mixing down 4 track material down to one then taking gen after gen to get a track. It must have been real work going through all of that to get something more than stereo wide which they seemed to be taking great pains to not do. Its not one of my favorites and Im not sure a surround version would change that. But the use of the tech that went into it was fascinating.

Found more about it... For the 5.1 mix which was to occur in LA, they used a prism interface to encode 20bit into 16 bit space on the DA-88s. In mixing, the DA-88 tapes were varispeeded to match the picture and then digitally resampled to 44.1. That seems to be the depth of the music and effects and dialogue. However, they also flew in underscore, expanded from mono and stereo sources and stored on Sony 3348HR. Then the final master is 24bit. But that doen't change the fact that the music, dialogue and effects are from a final source of 16/44.1. Here is the link...

So I went to Walmart yesterday to pick up the first Beatles Bluray release, Yellow Submarine, and would you believe they didn't have it? I don't think they were sold out either... actually never got it. And then the employee there has the nerve to try to argue that maybe the Beatles aren't popular any more...
On a related note... Any word on the source of this 5.1 mix? Same as the previous release, or new mix? The last one was not mixed by Abby Road. The stems were provided on Tascam DA-88 tapes at 16/48 and remastered/restored/remixed from those (there is an interesting article about it online if you can find it). They did a great job and I love the mixes, but if they are still being used, they only exist at 16/48.
