The Beatles Revolver

Just read where Giles Martin is using  AI-powered audio separation technology to remix Revolver. From what I read he can take the mono tracks and separate all the instruments and vocals on the 4 track tape the were recorded on and then I guess remix them in 24 track or whatever he wants. Is this good? I love The Beatles and no matter how much better it my sound it not the same. They had what they had in 1966. And George Martin did wonders with 4 tracks. Where does this reissuing of classic albums stop. Is Revolver remixed in multi tracks still Revolver?

I agree! What the Beatles did with Giles Martin is ART!  Tampering with the original tapes is in effect to produce something that is NOT the Beatles creation! The CD cover should say " Revolver - An interpretation by Giles Martin in Multi-Channel sound ".

From what I have read, only remix will be issued as a CD.  As far as I know, there is no 5.1 multi channel Blu-ray being issued.

The original was all mixed using tube (valve) equip.

There is that.

The only raison d’etre for me would be for a 5.1 release.

That of course would be the only scenario in which Jason would actually be right. Har har.
