Addendum to last post

The Lennon remaster CD's have a specific URL on the back - johnlennon.com/70.  That's a sign that you aren't supposed to just go to the official site, but to a specfic part of the site specifically made for the release.    Here's what I found after following the URL:

1) The site isn't finished yet.
2) You won't be able to access it at all without having bought one of the bigger box sets or the deluxe edition of the new Greatest Hits disc. 

So if you're one to simply buy a few of the albums, the site becomes not an extra level of value, but a paywall, and that link becomes not supplemental, but advertising.  The cynicism only adds up.
