they're not gonna reissue 'Storytelling Giant' until AFTER the 'Once In A Lifetime' box goes OOP. that's it's primary raison d'etre.

 

Best to keep watching their site as a couple weeks ago it was $111 so it pays to keep an eye on it prior to release.

 

But neither of those mentioned "Brick", that's why I didn't find it

 

It includes 5.1 mixes for all the songs and it is 24bit. I do not know the sampling rate though.

 

It's too bad we won't get the True Stories versions from all the performers , esp. the People Like Us by John Goodman.

Or the songs on the True Stories soundtrack.

 

In case anyone (who opposes DualDiscs) is wondering, I wrote to Dr. Rhino and was told that there were no plans for non-DualDiscs. Damn. Of course, even if they did release non-DualDiscs, they'd be copy-protected crap. He didn't say anything about separate releases of the discs, either, but I'd assume they will be coming at some point. They really can't expect too many people to want to invest in a whole box if they only want a few albums.

 

They say that there will be individual releases starting January of 2006.

 

If the eventual individual album releases are also DualDiscs, I'll stick and hold with the ONCE IN A LIFETIME box. No way am I buying those things.

 

ICE reported that the individual releases, also DualDiscs, are due 1/10/06 (first chronological half of the catalog) and 1/31/06.

 

Oh, well, sorry Rhino. More money for Mosaic Records or Dusty Groove.

 

As a hi-res surround sound nut I am so looking forward to this - looks like I'll be spending some money Oct 4

 

Fantastic news. I think dual disc is a great idea, and I am glad new 5.1 mixes are coming.

 

From talking-heads.net:

 

"no room to include more material"? are they kidding? Rhino have pretty much made their name off of adding a extra "bonus" disc to reissues. for the price they're (over)charging for this sucker, they couldn't have tacked on a 9th disc with extra goodies as an incentive to buy the set instead of the individual discs?

 

The better option would have been the separate Redbook and DVD Audio discs (a la REM) IMO. But C'est La Vie

 

They blew it big time....
Death to Dual Disc....

 

Me too!!

 

I jsut wish "Popsicle of Love" was on the set. That's a fantastic song. But I've pre-ordering mine already.

 

Write Rhino and let them know. That's what I did. They need to know that people aren't buying this because it's DualDisc, not because their isn't an interest.

 

I've already written. I hope those of you who dislike Dual Discs will please do the same.

I just wrote them thanking them for including high-resolution and surround.
