Former Beatles aide Tony Bramwell is saying that a superdeluxed version of John Lennon's Imagine album will be released this autumn. The contents are yet to be fully revealed, but Bramwell describes it as "remixed and fiddled about with", which I hope includes a new hi-res 5.1 surround mix.

This used to be one of my favorite albums, but I can't remember the last time I played it. And I can't think of what they might include that would get me to buy this. But I'll keep an eye on this thread just in case.

Okay...so I'm mixing my classic rock references. Sue me!

On what would have been John Lennon’s 78th birthday on Oct. 9, his album Imagine will receive an extensive box set treatment as John Lennon: Imagine: The Ultimate Box Set hits stores. Variety reports that Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono authorized the six-disc, 140-track collection and oversaw its production and creative direction. John Lennon: Imagine: The Ultimate Box Set contains four CDs and two Blu-ray discs; its biggest feature appears to be an extensive collection of mixes of the iconic album . There are “Ultimate Mixes,” which promise “whole new levels of sonic depth, definition and clarity to these timeless songs” (according to the set’s press release), as well as 5.1 surround sound mixes, raw studio mixes and, for the first time since the ‘70s, a four-speaker “Quadrasonic Album Mix,” which recreates the quadraphonic sound that was briefly in vogue in that decade.
The set also features a host of outtakes, rarities and isolated track elements (the separate pieces that were edited together into the produced version of the album’s songs).
The box also contains “The Evolution Documentary,” an “audio montage” that follows each song on the record from demo to finished product.
Additionally, Variety reports the films Gimme Some Truth (a documentary about the making of Imagine) and Imagine (a set of home movies made around the time the album was being recorded) will be reissued in remastered HD with previously unreleased content. As previously reported, the Imagine film will also be re-released to theaters beginning on Sept. 17. Yoko Ono is overseeing the publication of Imagine John Yoko, a book about the recording of Imagine, also to be released Oct. 9. Her new album, Warzone (which contains a cover of “Imagine”) will be released Oct. 19.

It's a wonderful album, one of Lennon's 2 best. So why am I feeling like this is about Yoko wanting yet more dollars?
Because you've grown cynical in your old age
I have no complaint with the way Yoko has handled his legacy, aside from pulling the NY concert and returning to the Spector mixes. The box sets have been great. I just want more.

I think this is at least the third or 4th fairly recent digital variation of Imagine (including hi-res editions) we've seen. There may be more than that.

I always thought we'd see a Lost Lennon tapes box - I think the bootleg lps ran between 25 to 30 vols.

I have no idea how many downloads have been issued- you are the expert on that. But: On CD, there are the original late 80s releases, then the remix series with bonus tracks from 2000-2005, then the 2010 remasters of the original mixes. Three waves of releases over 30 years. One box of out-takes/alternate versions of songs ("Lennon Anthology") from 1998. This is the first Super Deluxe box type of release concentrating on a specific album for Lennon, whereas McCartney has had his Archive Collection series going for close to a decade. If anything, I think Yoko has been pretty tasteful and restrained in her supervision of Lennon's legacy. You know that if the record label had carte blanche they would've issued a heck of a lot more product than this.
