For The Band and Beach Boys, at this time it seems that it will be " DSD flat transfers from original US analogue master tapes".
For the Lennon catalog, it is not clear what it will be.

According to CD Japan, the Lennon remasters are from 2010.

Not to be contradictory but the Lennon SHM~SACDs are based on the 2010 'digital' remasters and NOT from the original analogue sources as are the Band and Beach Boys SHM~SACD reissues (BOTH BASED ON 2014 DSD TRANSFERS from the US original analogue master tapes)

To be even more direct, the Lennon are sourced from the 24/96 files - the Yoko Ono remixes, which were IMO excellent. But they are available in their original PCM state from a variety of download stores now, much cheaper than a SHM-SACD, and that from where I sit makes the SACD redundant.
I suspect the Beach Boys is a different story, these may well be transfers from analog to DSD done for the aborted AP series.

Wrong.
All the 2010 CD editions was sourced from ORIGINAL mixes, not Yoko Ono remixes. And they were probably transferred to 24 bit 192 KHz, because they were done by the same team at Abbey Road studios that did the new Beatles transfers.

Well I'm interested in all of those Beach Boys SACDs, and possibly the John Lennon "Imagine" album.
A real pity that they're all non-hybrids with stereo-only audio option, and in probably silly cardboard sleeves, but I guess I shouldn't be too fussy. Wherever the audio is sourced from, I just hope they're going to sound good.

Right, they are the original mixes.
The practice on Beatles related catalog at Abbey Road seems to be transfers the master tapes at 24/192 for archival purposes, load that file into Pro Tools for mastering, then transfer to the Sadie workstation at 24/96. So in fact, the file that comes out of Abbey Road is 24/96.
That would be the case with the Lennon transfers, as it was with The Beatles transfers. Master tapes archived at 24/192, mastering at 24/96, finished product only exists at 24/96.
