Has anyone HEARD 5.1 Love yet?

Lots of commentary-- but I have yet to see a single review on the 5.1
version of the Love release.

Has anyone heard it yet?

I guess I'll get mine tomorrow after work- hoped it would be somehow sneaked
out today.

I don't like it. It isn't even done in a competent manner, in this
fan's opinion.

Of course you don't like anything you don't understand. Humanity, other
cultures, humility, etc....

It's written (in YOUR Bible) that you're not supposed to hate at all.
Checkmate, game over.

It's great! You'll pick out the first highlights of course (Tomorrow
Never Knows, Something..), but it works great as a 81-minute Beatles-fest!

I have just listened to the 5.1 DTS mix in full, and a few segments of the
Dolby Digital 5.1 mix.

Now I don't have a DVD Audio player, but when I play it on my normal DVD
surround system, the only channels that seem to have been used are the front
left and right, and the sub-woofer. There doesn't seem to be any sound at
all from the front centre channel or either of the two rear channels.

Matthew W. Miller...

Check your setup. I can't personally speak for the DTS track, but I've
listened to the AC3 track's channels together and seperately, and I can
state definitely that all six channels receive plenty of use. Try
listening to "I Want to Hold Your Hand" -- the studio version is mixed
toward the front, a live version toward the rear. At many points, the
centre-front channel has a dominant lead vocal and low-mixed
instrumentation. ("Because"'s centre-front has a single track of
John/Paul/George's vocals -- gorgeous!)

Is the version that is only playable by DVD Audio players any different?

I haven't noticed any (musical) differences between the DVD and the CD
version either - where is the extra 2 minutes or so? :-)

The only difference I've noticed so far is that Back in the USSR doesn't
have the guitar solo on the 78-minute-cd-version

Peter...

You were quite correct Trey - for some reason my system was switched to "2
channel stereo" I looked through all the set up menus before too - but there
was one I missed.

Must have been one of the kids :-)

It now sounds about 10 times better! Oh well - I'd better go and listen all
the way through again :-)

Matthew W. Miller...

Now that *is* something I've been wondering about -- while the DVD
version's runtime is longer than the CD's 78 minutes (It's 80:37 to be
precise), the extension seems to be a matter of an extra second here and
there rather than any additional sections/material. Oh well. Anyone
keeping track of those extra seconds?

The bulk of the extra time was on just two songs, Back In The USSR and
Revolution
