  1. If my local has it, which I assume they do, I'll chime in later this evening on the sound of the vinyl.

    Sound is quite punchy, I think. I'm undecided yet if I like this or not...
    Side A has hardly any dead wax. Makes it prone to inner groove distortion. I did not notice any on the first spin though. But I think I heard a few non-fill patches on track 9 (Star Me Kitten). Will need to inspect that further later.

    So far I would say it's a mediocre reissue only, far from great. Will be interesting to hear from others though.

    I have the UK version, a nice quiet pressing generally at least, but unfortunately I have 3 or 4 repeated crunches (non fill?) right at the end of the final track which kind of spoils it all somewhat...

    Not sure if I should return and exchange

    I preordered my set on September 19th from Amazon and didn't receive it today. Tracking says they are preparing it for shipment, if they do send it I won't get it til Monday at the soonest. Though that is better than 1 month like in your case. Hope your set arrives soon.
     
  8. I went to one of my locals who always has new releases. No deluxe no vinyl today. Just the 2 cd set. I’m waiting for the LP

    Strange, I wonder if there was some error that prevented the set from coming out, with an album like this they would have to expect they are going to sell a good number of sets.

    Same boat. I cancelled my order this morning and ordered it through Target (!) for seven bucks less. It's already shipped and will arrive on Tuesday.

    Amazon.ca shows a release date of November 17th, for what it’s worth.

    Was really looking forward to digging into this set over the weekend. Oh well, I have plenty of music to listen to, including the new Listen Without Prejudice box set.

    I really like it - The brickwalling is slight and the demos are nice and Byrdsy. Probably the best reissue yet

    Got the 2 disc CD (can't do Atmos and don't care). Sounds very dynamic but not aggressively so (like the others).
    Really digging it!

    What do you get if you pop the Blu-ray into a non Dolby Atmos player? Can you still get Dolby HD?

    The previous remaster was the DVD-A, right? From memory that had good dynamic range. Looks as if they took a step backwards with this reissue.

    Yes! It will default to Dolby TrueHD.

    Up on HD Tracks as 24/192 album only or 24/96 for the album/live show.

    My Deluxe Set arrived yesterday, so no delay at all with this release here in Germany. But very, very pricey. Payed around 85€. First impressions: It´s an LP-Sized Box Set with an OBI-Strip! Who´d thought it would come with one of those ? The Book is also almost LP-Sized and with a glossy feel to it. Nice! The Discs are below the book in their own little cut-out spots, but just in those budget cardboard sleeves. A bit underwhelming for such a high priced item. Overall the set is nice looking, but I would have preferred if they had stayed with the OOT-Design from last year. Everything would have fit in there too and the Book wouldn´t really need to be as big as it is now. But it´s a nice set nevertheless and I´m now looking forward hearing the Demos on Disc 3...

    Michael has left behind his homeless hobo chic. When did this happen?

    I’ve said it before, this is a perfect candidate for a two record 45 rpm release. Someday maybe...
