Pink Floyd 2011 / 2012 release schedule on Amazon.com

What the ****! I still can't believe this is for real. I want the Immersion sets, all of 'm....

 

I would hope that the template set for the Beatles remasters indicates that the studio albums part of these sets will contain new remasters. For something of this kind of box set, you would have to assume that EMI went back and did this. For the moment, I'm hard-pressed to believe they would throw all of this unreleased material in these boxes and then just throw in the old latest remasters to round out the packages.

 

My guess is that, given the royal treatment for these 3 albums, he might feel that Piper got short-shrifted with the 2007 3-disc set (not that it wasn't fantastic on his own), but I sure bet ChrisM could put together a 5/6-disc Immersion set for Piper at the drop of a hat.

 

Remember the 2003 DSOTM hybrid SACD, the CD section of the disc was compressed. And things hasn't actualy got any better in the record business since then.

 

I'm having a great chuckle right now. It's late and I keep checking how many users are looking at this thread. I see the list keeps growing the later we go on into the night. Boy, Chris must be a heavy sleeper.

 

I notice that no one have mentioned the possibility for the original The Wall footage in that Immerse set. That would make sense, right? Waters have mentioned that film several times lately and it would be kind of strange if all we get is the "Is there anybody out there?" set all over again plus some demoes, right?

 

What's up with the 1-disc "best of" though? Pretty tough to make that work, given the length of Floyd tracks... A Collection Of Great Dance Songs, anyone?

 

What if the same team behind the Beatles remasters worked on this. Because those remasters had a lot of praise.... That would be great

 

It seems EMI/Capitol did a better job than Universal (Queen).

 

F*** this is beyond my wildest dreams!!!

Time to start saving because I will surely pick up EVERY Immersion box set

 

perhaps the WYWH immersion set is where the 5.1 mix ends up.

it'll probably cost 1,000 in local currency by the time it lands here in Malaysia


er, why does the cover say "this is not a box"? (ceci n'est pas une boite)

 

On the Neptune PF forum someone mentioned that The Wall has 7 discs! I could not get his amazon link to work but it makes sense since it's a double album.

Seems like a lot of long lost treasures will appear in these sets: 70's live recordings, surround versions of WYWH and The Wall and the original film from The Wall shows.

 

I`m just tuning in

Porkchop Sandwiches!!!!!!

............

 

That was the first thing I was thinking!The cat is out of the bag,it would be a crime not to let us hear the `67 show.

 

I wouldn`t mind if they reissued an expanded Works cd.I thought that one flowed pretty good out of all the comps.

 

They have put a pretty complete list with links here:

I like the new covers. Pretty much original but it seems that they (Storm & Co ?) have taken care of the picture quality. Notice Animals and A Momentary Lapse Of Reason.

 

Ah Ha ha ha Ha I love it!we`re going to be immersed in plenty of listening!Whoo Hoo!!!!

Plenty of discussion here too I`m sure.

 

I hope the Early singles get re-released and remixed into stereo eg: arnold layne, candy and a currant bun, point me at the sky.

 

Sits down at writing desk.

"Dear Mr. Bank Manager ..."

So, the next question is, is the 96kHz/24-bit audio from the DSD masters? I would say yes.

 

It's stuff like this is why I got into the industry...so I can pay for it.

 

The question is..... how good is the mastering of James Guthrie?

 

Since when is 640 kbps considered high resolution?
