Brilliant! What a tremendous preview. Looks like the release is going to be unique in so many ways. Are we all jealous? You bet we are! But thank you so much for the early look and of course, a big thank you to Sean, Yoko and co. for enabling you. Look forward to your music review. Have heard the Mind Games Elemental Mix today and it was fabulous. The vocals and bass are revelatory. Tremendously clear and moving. Just like sitting in the vocal booth when John was recording the song. Wow! Am I looking forward to this. Now where do we get those torches!

Oh you lucky boy….. what an incredible thing. I don’t really care what it costs, I know I’ve got to have it. When I think back to when I first discovered the lads and all the solo work I never dreamed we’d ever have stuff like this. Looking forward to the next video. Cheers Andy.

Looks very cool, and I'm sure I'll spend a lot of time digging through this set. The blacklight stuff is intriguing -- surely the clues on the discs showing moon phases and sun signs are highlighting important dates in the lives of John and Yoko.

I've learned the morse code when I was a boy scout. In your video at 10:05 it says: love is the answer. 🙂

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

Thanks! 👍

[@jameswilson7084]

That was nice of them to give you the box set more than a month early. Thanks for letting us know the hidden tracks. This gives me something to think about. I'm deciding between the 2 CD set and the big box set. And how much I want the song "Rock 'N' Roll People" is a big factor. And now I know that it's on the big box set. I'm guessing that the "Ultimate Mix" of "I'm The Greatest" must also be on CD 1 of the 2 CD set. If not, then I'm definitely going with the big box set.

[@baronsaturday951]

Andrew, the hand may announce the release of "Living In The Material World" Boxset ! Your video is fantastic one more time !

[@melissabrown2109]

A very generous gift from the Lennon Estate

[@bradley8368]

I just got my copy today. Played disc one (Mind Games Ultimate Mixes). Sounds fantastic. Wanted to listen to early “I’m The Greatest” track, found out that after the original 12 tracks were finished, there were about 85 additional tracks, 84 of which were 25 seconds of silence. Somewhere in there is the track I want to hear. It’s Friday, it’s been a long week, maybe at some point I’ll find this humorous. Today is not that day. ❤

@@AndrewDixonMusic Excellent!

[@terrymann1341]

Thanks for this Andrew, really got me looking forward to my copy of this box set when it arrives. My guess is, these clues are leading to numerology, astrology, phases of the moon, and I honestly think that the number nine is in there somewhere. Not only have we got some fantastic music to look forward to but hours of fun and entertainment with all this other stuff. This is gonna be a box set like no other that I have in my collection. John would be loving this were he still with us I'm sure. But of course we have so much stuff to look forward to with Paul's one hand clapping arriving on Friday, and then the One to One concert Documentary available to stream either over the summer or in the autumn, with a possible re issue of a remixed Live In New York City album on vinyl and CD. 2024 is going to go down as a bumper year for Beatles fans, that's for sure...

[@debussy10]

First time I've seen one of your videos. Never have I seen anyone have so much fun presenting a new release! You're authoritative, modest, comprehensive with a good sense of humour - a fabulous review! I was 17 when John Lennon released .Mind Games, and having already owned Imagine, I couldn't understand the god-awful mix- dull as dishwater! And of course, there was no George Martin or Phil Spector to professionally produce the sessions. But I always though that Mind Games was a really nice set of songs, lke a Song Cycle, and have been patiently waiting for the day when somehow a clear mix could be released. I look forward to your more detailed review of the music for MG. Thanks Andrew!

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

Hi, thanks for your kind words, and welcome aboard! 🙂👍

[@frederickbartel2837]

Thanks for this clear and concise overview of this box set, which I will buy eventually. Getting through the special portions will be like reading Ulysses--you can tough it out on your own, or use notes or a commentary of some sort (and you can bet there will eventually be a commentary for this Mind Games box). You mentioned that hopefully other bands will take notice and release similar types of things. We've got several deluxe Beatles sets and the Paul McCartney Archive series, but I'm not sure how many bands possess the cachet that John Lennon's name does. The prog rock bands (which I like very much) have a somewhat specialized audience, and The Kinks and The Who--as much as I love them--probably don't have the clout that the Beatles and members of do. Not sure that Stones fans would be interested in specialty releases of the albums, but who knows? Maybe there would be a market for the Led Zeppelin output?

[@Andy1962-in-Kinross]

Another excellent video Andrew. I’ve only pre-ordered the 2xCD set as I’ve something of a longstanding ‘difficulty’ with Mind Games. I remember excitedly buying the cassette in 1973 and running home to play it on the family music centre (remember them?) I guess I was expecting the album to be more like Beatles 67-70 which was my favourite album in ‘73. I must confess that apart from Mind Games I found the other songs difficult to like. I was only 11 back then. However, ever since it’s never been a favourite go to solo album of mine. I wonder if I can justify the cost of buying the 6CD & 2Blu-Ray box for the fabulous presentation. Sean and his team have clearly pulled out all the stops for this release. I do love the ‘Mind Games’ they are playing with this release. Very innovative and artistic and definitely shows the way to go for future releases. Let’s all hope the McCartney & Harrison ‘teams’ take note. We need London Town & Back To The Egg now. Dhani & Olivia we don’t just want re-releases of George’s albums. We need the bonus content, the books etc too.

[@TheSchemel]

I figured that the reason why you get freebies from the Lennon estate is that you are a genuine fan and a good guy. I know that's why I subscribe to your channel. Another reason why they may send you freebies is you are one of the only few who likes Somewhere in New York City. Lol❤

[@SpaceCattttt]

Not a fan of the Elemental Mixes, but everything else should be good. Had a crack at solving the Morse Code message on the box. I think you got it spot on. It's hard to tell since all the words are mixed up. But the one in the book says "Love is the answer".

[@marcbolan1818]

Let's hope that all the insane variations that they all put out will have a market in 20 years.

[@HirnkastlundHerz]

Thank you very much Andrew for your very nice and helpfull video. I will buy a ultraviolet-light... You spoke about codes in the book. Did you lilf the mistery now? And do you know if there are download-codes for the Secret Tracks or are they on the cd, when you play it? And of course on question too: there were three alternative takes on the Remastered 2000 edition. Are they included in the Outtakes here, because in the tracklist we don't see the take-Numbers... And my last question: Are there rumours to get "Walls and Bridges" to the 50th Anniversary in October?
