Check out Amazon.com for the six disc package of the Beatles "Sergeant peppers". It's absolutely amazing. There are actually two 5.1 surround sound recordings. I don't think the Bee Gees will ever ever do this. Unfortunately.

Now there's an album they could make an interesting box set of
Including some demos, the film and film out takes
But they won't
Barry wouldn't even have to negotiate with Dwina

I keep a CD of Cucumber Castle in my car. I liked it when it was released and still enjoy listening to it occasionally.
Guess old habits die hard.

The stereo mix of She's Leaving Home plays so much slower than the mono mix
that's down one semitone. George Martin had perfect pitch and when they
manipulated tape speed it pleased him to go precisely a semitone up or
down! If the orchestra and vocal were recorded separately they might have
even been recorded at different speeds. Anyway in this case the mono mix is
considered to be the target speed and the slower stereo mix not what they
wanted.
Bee Gees reference: The IDEA album was recorded on an American-made tape
recorder powered through a device that was supposed to convert British AC
power to American standard. But they had so much trouble with its accuracy
(about AC frequency) that most of the mono and stereo mixes there ended up
at different speeds and it was NOT intentional. I've Gotta Get a Message to
You is the most extreme example. The stereo mix in the old Tales box set,
by Bill Inglot, was intended to be at correct speed as well as he could
determine, but it's hard to find that mix now.
