Pink Floyd - The Early Years 1965-1972 Box Set - Realiz/ation (Content, tracks, etc. ONLY!)

Yeah, I meant no issues on the 1965 vs the previous vinyl/itunes release. One day I'll definitely look into trying to match the best bootleg source and patch out the tape damage.

Sorry, can't help you on the blu-ray question. I don't have the set. A friend sent me the Syd audio to check out and compare. Won't be able to check out the videos until I visit him and am not sure when that might be. He doesn't have a blu-ray player or I'd ask about the jittering.

 

AFAIK, no, but this was just discovered today. Maybe somebody will figure out a way to do it with more time.

 

I have the box but not a BD drive. This is depressing

Hopefully a Meddle box set is in the works.

 

The complaint is about 1967 BBC tracks, not the other years.

 

Isn't the 1974 version available as an extra on the diector's cut DVD?

 

Yes, the original concert film is available as an extra on the DVD (just checked).

 

Is it a new stereo mix?

 

My impression is also that these two video's look better than on the Dark Side Immersion.

It would have been nice to have the entire Live at Brighton Dome as an audio CD in this set, but that would have meant including an early version of Dark Side of The Moon (or Eclipse as it was then called) and I guess they didn't want't to go there.

 

Just to say, these covers are greatly appreciated - ripping my box set to FLAC at the moment and these look great as the album art!

 

Sorry for the glare.. *BONUS Disk*

 

Where did you buy your box set from? Thanks

 

Darn, I really want to hear this new stereo mix (I don't have surround capability). I'm going to have to buy one of those stand alone Blu-ray players so that I can extract the audio. What an unexpected treat!

 

At 2:26 in 'In The Beechwoods' someone can bear heard speaking. Any idea what they're saying and who it is?

 

Photo taken from work!
VERY tempting purchase..

 

All those of you who have the box, search your Blu-Ray's and DVD's, maybe there's a stereo Arnold Layne and Point Me At The Sky hidden in there!!!

 

The first half of Dark Side (Speak to Me - Great Gig) was recorded on the 17th, the rest on the 16th. No idea about the Animals tracks though.

 

Scream thy last scream - does it sound to anyone else as though they've tried to sync the chipmunk vocal with the lead? Listen to the first 'scrubbing bubbles' section. Chipmunk is also to hidden in the mix, and has some weird effect on it. And the "ch ch ch's" at the end have gone. Don't like this version of the track.

Beechwoods amazing though and veg man decent if a little bottom heavy.

 

Thank you for this. I don't want to derail the thread, so is there an ongoing discussion anywhere on how best to extract files from a blu-Ray and burn them to a new disc?

 

True, I already thought I may have received a faulty disc, which seems unlikely. Admittedly it's been a good while since I watched the dvd, but I don't remember this distortion. I have yet to watch the blu-ray included in the box

 

Thanks for this!

Did you downmix this to stereo? I ask this because on the first part, the bass has a strange "ping pong" effect sounding "galloping", where it should be continuous, like an "helicopter"

 

To me it also sounds distorted....

 

He said he got this from the stereo (re)mix that was lurking on the Blu-Ray.

Surely these aren't here by accident. Someone has thought "Na, screw it. I'll just remove the menu options and tell them I've removed the audio as well. They won't notice until it's too late."

 

Camel Toe?

 

Replacement arrived from Amazon UK. Pleased to report that bonus disc was included this time. Unlike original order this set was wrapped and double boxed, with an Early Years cardboard strip around the base of the set. Makes me wonder if the original order I received was a set Amazon had lying loose whereas replacement was a straight lift from manufacturer. Time to enjoy the music...

 

The mix used in the DVD/Blu-Ray is less distorted. They used a slightly different mix (or master, since the distorted drum sounds are still there).
At least it doesn't sound bad all the way through. And maybe, that distortion was always there, but was rarely discussed since we never heard the drums this clear before.

I think each mix has its pros and cons. 2016 mix has clarity, while the old mixes have warmth and obscurity.
But hopefully they could do something about this issue when Pompeii gets a standalone release.
