Agreed, @Elementary Penguin, at that price you’d think they could have at least included either the original YS album or the Songtrack, and a copy of the film.
I mean, the thing’s official, available through The Beatles Store, so it’s not as if they couldn’t have.
Also, @meanmistermustard, I just noticed…
Three whole pairs.
Why can I count six pairs in the box?

He’s probably using a different counting system.

Offline Well, 50th anniversary of the original release date is an easy re-release date to “expect”. I expect the same. There’s still no confirmed information, just Paul’s quote. I think confirmation won’t come until about a month before, which will be late October. Confirmation with Pepper came a month before, and this year the same timing allows the Imagine box set to be in the past.
I was just hoping some more detail had slipped out.

Should any one be interested, and either be in NYC or know somebody in the vicinity, the MTA have a limited edition (50,000) Paul McCartney Egypt Station MetroCard.
NYCT Subway say “it is available at the 42nd St-Grand Central station in the larger MetroCard Vending Machines and station booths while supplies last”.
Regarding tomorrow’s streamed concert, here is the countdown from Paul’s video channel (press play to see updated “time remaining until…” – currently 23 hours):

We know Paul is in New York to play a concert tonight, and we know the John Lennon stamp dedication is in Central Park just before lunchtime…
Could Paul decide to put in an appearance?

Offline Thought we’d had all the news surrounding this Imagine re-release, but Variety reports there’s more. There will be a new feature-length documentary about the making of the album, John & Yoko: Above Us Only Sky, broadcast later this year.
Commissioned by UK broadcaster Channel 4, it seems producers Eagle Rock have full access to archive.
Director Michael Epstein (who also directed LennoNYC, the 2010 documentary about John’s last ten years) said:
The message of Imagine is just as powerful today as it was when John and Yoko wrote it nearly fifty years ago. I look at the world see it overcome with hate and engaged in wars seemingly without end, and I truly miss John’s voice. We need him now more than ever. And that is what we hope to do with Above Us Only Sky, show how John and Yoko’s message of peace and love still matters.
Terry Shand, CEO of Eagle Rock added:
With exclusive access to the extensive Lennon video, audio and photo archive, including much previously unseen material as well as interviews with a wide range of people directly involved with the recording, this is an exciting opportunity to tell this story fully for the first time.
I would imagine the first broadcast will be in the UK, with maybe PBS picking it up for the US (they were the first to broadcast LennoNYC), with a DVD/Blu-Ray release to follow at some stage.

Offline It was a touching tribute, but I wonder how Yoko is doing mentally. I didn’t quite understand what she was trying to say about the crowd size and Hitler. And it seemed like Sean was trying to get her to stop talking.

Offline Sir Paul is diving deeper into the x-rated world.
The cover of today’s New York Post reads “Beat the Meatles” with the sub-headline “Come Together ” and a large picture of the Paul and John in their early years.
This is based on some admissions in GQ magazine.

The borrowed Maton guitar George played in July and August 1963 (a period which included their final performance at the Cavern on 3 August) while his Gretsch was being repaired has sold at auction for £347,200 (approx. US$452,663.74).
