Hope you guys already had these pre-ordered because the price jumped to £13.78 (A more reasonable price)

 

Glad I did......$33 and some change with shipping.

Now $50 and some change

 

I got all these on Rhino, and have not bothered to even look at any upgrades, yet. Unless these are vast improvements, I think that I'll keep it that way.

 

So, you are not interested in 5.1. remixes?

 

I just finished grabbing all the original Atlantics. I'm not buying again.

 

Hello All,
I do not know if this has been asked in this thread, but has it been determined yet if these remixes are going to be in Hi rez? Because the latest Tull 5.1 TB2 in reg DTS suffers greatly? I do not know if Steve W was involved in the Mastering process because it has way to much bottom end.

 

Yep, this all important question has been asked and as yet we have no answer.

 

Does pre-ordering from amazon.uk go ahead and charge you or does it wait until the ship date to charge you?

 

Not particularly.

 

I buy from them often. All Amazon sites wait for shipping to charge you.

Would be awesome if they'd do a limited edition Blu-ray run. I have no problem paying more for it as would most people that would snap up 5,000 copies or so, what with the prices we're paying for audiophile SACD's and vinyl anyway.

 

Me too.

 

Why? Do 5.1 mixes sound better in Blu-Ray?

 

If the 5.1 mix on/in the DVD is only in DD or dts and on/in BD is in a lossless format: Yes.
But: A lossless 5.1 mix in PCM would be possible on/in DVD too! ...

 

On Blu-ray? Sure, given that the company releasing these doesn't do DVD-A releases AFAIK.

 

Price has increased to £14.92 on Amazon.co.uk

 

I contacted the ELP website, someone who manages Greg Lake denied any knowledge of the new 3 disc issues, real good publicity isn't it. Does anyone have a track listing for these yet?

 

Are you saying there won't be a DVD included in the 3 disc box set ?

 

No, there is a dvd, but it won't be a dvd-a (that's dvd-audio, a slightly different beat than the standard dvd-v). People are often confused by this, thinking that a dvd with audio is a dvd-a when that is not always the case.

 

That's right. DVD-A's, like the the ones from the King Crimson catalog, have MLP lossless sound included, and were the rival to SACD's. But DVD-V's are just dvd's, that may have a dts surround mix on it. I'm surprised that they aren't dvd-a's since Steve Wilson mixed it, and Greg Lake's ties to Crimson. I'm sure they could've made their money back at least as much as the Crimson catalog did.

 

Unbelievable that these brilliant albums is not going to include a high res audio on the DVD included. What a huge disappointment. I still have an order. From the King Crimson releases I recall there is also video footage included, will this be the case on the ELP reissues.

 

I'd prefer it if it was MLP lossless like the King Crimson stuff, but I also have Wilson's 5.1 remix of Caravan's The Land of Grey & Pink, which is only in dts and I think that one still sounds pretty damn good too.

 

Agreed
