My take on John as a producer/mixing engineer is that he really was rooted in the music he grew up with & listened to at the time. He definitely was not fussed about 'clarity & separation' & did at some point wear a badge stating 'Back to Mono'!! His concession to stereo was to make it sound more like mono!

Thank you so much for the detailed review. Was a little worried by the delay following the unboxing but can fully appreciate the reason for this. You have not rushed out an ill-considered overview, but have spent time becoming accustomed to the various mixes before providing your comments. Mind Games has always been a favourite Lennon album of mine. Perhaps because it was the first of his albums that I experienced when I was buying records myself and fully appreciating music rather than it just being 'around'. I have heard the promo tracks released by the estate and the Uncut CD and am really now looking forward to the deluxe set. Thank you again for the lengthy video. It is much valued. Cheers.

You Are Here has now slowly crept up the list of my favorite Mind Games tracks after buying this set and hearing the different mixes. As for the Ultimate Mixes. I do feel there are some that I prefer the 2010 mix to over the Ultimate (such as Tight A$, Bring On The Lucie, Intuition, and especially my favorite of the album, Meat City. I feel the warmth added takes away from the rocking/grittiness of the 2010 mix, not familiar with the original or 2002 mix). And I do thank you for helping explain how to find the hidden tracks on the cd’s, I’m enjoying Mellotron Magic as I type. And finally breaking down and buying a moderately priced blu ray player now.

Really looking forward to this box now! The original release was indeed muddy -- there's no other word for it. I can only assume that John was trying to emulate Phil Spector's style of production. For all his (many) faults, Spector knew exactly what he was doing and how to get a very specific result, so John's attempt was never going to be as good. And I share your love for "I Know (I Know)," and hopefully it will gain its place among the best of John's solo work. It'll be interesting to compare the ultimate mix here on CD/Blu-Ray to the vinyl release when it comes out.

Thanks, Andrew, for an honest appraisal of the Mind Games Box Set. Very brief and yet thorough work Even though I haven't heard the album except on KZbin, I can say that it is a much better album now as far as quality. I also feel that the song writing of John on this album is a bit weaker than previous and future albums. But, on the other hand, the great aspect is that John would approve because he knew there could have been better sounding tracks, and now, here it is. Sean Lennon, along with his Team really knocked themselves out presenting new sounding remixes, which is the normal way. It's over priced for the content of Classic Lennon, but give it time. Thanks for the great view.

@user-se2zo9et2k2 ай бұрын
Hello there Andrew, Sorry about this is so long. You mentioned where on can find the upcoming hidden tracks on this new Mind Games box set. For example, I'm The Greatest is the last track on disc 1 immediate following track 6, but all of the other hidden tracks you only talked about them and the disc they are on. If it is easy to find these other tracks that's fine, but if it is not that easy, would it be possible for you to mentioned where these tracks can be found (I would imagine they are all the last track on the discs, but it wasn't mentioned) or send out a short video or written message as to where these tracks can be found. By the way, I have watched other people's KZbin channels talking about this new Mind Games box set. The only people I will ever watch their KZbin channels are yours and the guy from Polygram Auctions. That's because most of the others are just goofy and I won't want to watch something like that. The one thing I don't care for is the Polygram channel more like real business type video where he is taking about Beatles related things which is fine, but what I don't like is when he talks about those commercial like items in the middle of his videos, other than that I do like him a lot. I started watching his channel I think just over a couple of years, shortly after that I found your channel. I do and will only watch those two KZbin channels. You both seem very privileged and honored to receive your items from record companies or in this case from Sean Lennon. Anyway, too much about that. I've been "collecting" The Beatles since 1969, but I have thinned down my collection considerably except now I only having CD's. Almost everything else that I had I've sold off. You are really good at what you do. Thank you so much for all your work.
@AndrewDixonMusic2 ай бұрын
Thanks for that 👍 Om some of the discs the hidden tracks are actually before track 1, so you need to press play and then rewind back prior to track 1, and then on some discs they're at the end. It might vary depending your brand of player as to exactly what to press to access them so it's not really feasible for me to try and explain that too much. On the subject of me becoming an advert part way through my videos, I have had various enquiries from companies asking if they can pay me to do that and it's not something I feel comfortable with so have rejected them all, so I hope I can promise you that's not something I'm going to start doing! 🙂👍

The Elemental mixes are designed to perhaps take two or three elements of the song (e.g.could be vocal, bass and keys) and create a new mix that really allows those parts to shine, for example the keys might have been a little buried in the mix so hadn't been appreciated properly before. The raw studio mixes are more like a full band version but sound as though you are in that control room with the band as it's being recorded. The mix won't have the final effects such as reverb and much other EQ applied to it, so it really sounds like you're there with the full band as they're playing.

I could certainly see it possibly rising above Double Fantasy now, and closing the gap with Walls and Bridges, I've really started to enjoy it lots more over the last year. But maybe when a Double Fantasy box is released I'll start loving that more again!

I think even if they did allow that, I wouldn't risk it because the record company (separate to the estate) and KZbin could mess up and override that and I'd end up in trouble. Between the John Lennon KZbin account and the new Uncut magazine there must be well over a dozen full tracks from the box released already so hopefully there's plenty to help people make their minds up 👍

This set is way overpriced in Canada at $250 Cdn while the POB and Imagine sets are $100 cheaper. I will wait till the price comes down but in the meantime will download a free copy online.

It's correct. If there is one Lennon album that needed a total remix, it's Mind Games. Walls and Bridges sounds so much better.

It sounds better but still over produced and over arranged imo.

The Lennon estate has apparently sent this box set to several KZbin creators. I've seen at least 3 or 4 others like this. Great way to get this way overpriced set promoted. Please do not misunderstand me, I have all of John's records, and several of Yoko's on vinyl from 50 years ago. So, it's not like I don't love John and Yoko. Lovely presentation, Andrew.

It sounds like i’m going to have issues ripping the CD. (i already have issues since on some CDs my external disc drive ejects on the last 2 or 3 songs while ripping even if the CD is brand new, that’s why i like have a few bonus tracks on there because at least there’s a good chance i’ll rip the original album) I may have to pass and just stream☹️ BTW, have you ever heard Elton’s cover of “One Day At a Time”? His version is better i think 😄

Sounds like the song was actually written for Elton in fact..i just wish John would’ve just gave it to him and maybe put “Rock & Roll People” in its place on “Mind Games”.😂

Nice. I needed a new box set! You mention the poor mix on the original album....well, that's obviously true. It was muddy and somewhat ugly. Walls and Bridges didn't have much of a better mix, in my opinion, so that should be nice to hear in an Ultimate Mix as well someday. However, what I really want is a Some Time in New York City box set! The mix on some of those songs is truly horrible! Which is a real shame, because apart from the superfluous live disc, it has some absolutely excellent songs on it. Even Yoko's songs rival those of John's for once! But I guess I'll have to wait a very long time, indeed, for a box like that...
