back cover:

"These tracks, drawn from the 5.1 Surround Sound mix prepared for the 'Yellow Submarine' DVD, allow a closer examination of these classic songs, than anything short of sitting at the mixing console at Abbey Road with the original multi-tracks cued up. You're gonna love this!"

my comments:

A fantastic experience indeed! Ringo doesn't sing that bad on Yellow Submarine, I always wanted to hear that acoustic guitar on All Together Now go on and on, great to hear  a 'stripped' version of When I'm 64 (CD 1, track 20), hear George's vocals on Only A Northern Song and John's 'sound effects' (who's coughing?), the instrumental track of Nowhere Man is stunning! (CD 1, track 30), you've never heard that lead guitar on Sgt. Pepper so prominently (CD 2, track 8), track 18 of CD 2 is just the vocals (with a bark or two) and the guitar solo. These are just a couple of highlights, every track is worth a close examination. This really is something else than those 'oopsed' version of songs. Although there are no outtakes to be heard here, listening to this CD thrilled me as much as when I first heard the Ultra Rare Trax and Unsurpassed Masters releases. RECOMMENDED!
