Better than the vinyl version of 1977

I'm reviewing the vinyl album here, and not the CD version (although the content is the same). Giles Martin (producer of this remixed recording) has outdone himself AND the technology that originally recorded the concerts at the Hollywood Bowl back in both 1964 and 1965. Give it a critical listen, or even a comparison, on a good sound system for an intense experience of...Beatlemania! You won't forget the feeling. There truly is nothing warmer than listening to this music on one of those old fashioned, but back in vogue, 12" round black plastic things that rotate at 33 1/3 revolutions per minute on what we call a record player. No, there isn't any button you can push to go to the next song; there won't be a desire to. But, you would actually have to pick up the tone arm and gently drop it on to the space between the songs. Do you see how captivating the whole experience becomes....even beyond the music itself?!?!

Once again, Neil Young reminds us that he knows good sound reproduction, and he respects his fans. The ongoing release of the music he was instrumental in (solo and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young) has been given the HDCD treatment, which he demanded. To those uninitiated listeners, HDCD (high definition compact disc) is a companion format for high quality, low compression music reproduction like SACD (super audio compact disc).
The improvement you hear makes you wish #1) that every disc was made with this encoding, and #2) that more manufacturers would include this on their players. HDCD can be found on only a few CD players (Harman Kardon, etc). SACD is generally only found on a very few DVD/Bluray players (Sony, etc).
A huge acknowledgement of how some artists want the best sound available on disc is the fact that nearly the entire BEACH BOYS catalogue was released in 2012 on HDCD.

I bought this player because my older SONY bluray did not have wireless connectivity which I discovered was important for receiving periodic online updates. Turns out the SONY player couldn't play the "All Things Must Pass - the story of Tower Records" bluray disc because it's manufactured on a BD-R disc (recordable bluray, the choice of the movie producer).
Sooooo, I went to Best Buy and purchased the Samsung player that they demonstrated would play this disc (the choice of many "documentary" movie production companies - they don't want to produce a huge amount of factory "silver discs" in case they don't sell many. I get it.)
Everything works perfectly on this Samsung player. It warrants 5 stars. Why only 3 stars? Some knucklehead at Samsung thought is would be a good idea to NOT manufacturer it with a Power On/Off light!!! O.K., so here's how they decided you would know the unit was ON - per the instructions, simply push the Open/Close disc drawer function. That turns it On. Oh, right, there is a power button on the front of the player...just no light to tell you it's on. Ergo: 3 stars for really dumb engineering. Frustrating as.....!

Could'a been a 5 star rating but...
on May 8, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
For this to have been a 5 star rating it only would have needed to been produced as a factory silver disc rather than a BD-R disc. For those of you in Rio Linda, that means it is a bluray copy made by the producer of the film and not a factory (what is called a) silver disc that will not degrade over time.
There are not enough years that the the recordable BD-R disc has been around that could give us the proof of how long it may last, but I know from my CD-R music discs that they do NOT last as long as the factory discs. Also, when I first tried playing this BD-R in my Sony bluray player, it did not read and conseqquenty did not play it. Best Buy Geek people told me I needed to make sure I had the Sony player "updated online so it would be able to play the latest discs".
So, I updated the player via the online service, and VOILA! It STILL didn't play, as opposed to EVERY other factory bluray disc I have purchased this year.
O.K., so maybe I should rate this a 2 or a 3. But, I watched it on a friend's Samsung bluray player and the movie is GREAT. Ergo, a 4 star rating. But, are you feelin' my pain? The Geek man told me to buy a cheep bluray player that is NOT a SONY. Nice news, eh?
