30-disc studio & live box coming from Gentle Giant

No, I figured I'd save that for last since it contains some upmixes. Wilson couldn't find all the multis for all of those songs.

 

Just and FYI, the CD set I Lost My Head Includes Civilian and can still be had pretty cheap: Gentle Giant - I Lost My Head - The Chrysalis Years (1975-1980)

 

Another FYI: grab the Steven Wilson discs while you can, as many of the other projects he has worked on have gone OOP!

 

He's gonna do more GG soon.

 

Yeah? Which ones, and any idea on when they will be released?

(I already have 3 Piece, Octopus, Power & Glory and the big box, of course!)

 

Freehand should be coming later this year. Interview and The Missing Piece will likely follow in 2021.

I'm still hoping for a miracle with In A Glass House and Acquiring The Taste.

 

Question answered above. Derek confirmed this in an interview a while back. Too bad they can't find all the multis for Acquiring the Taste and Three Friends...

 

Where is this still available?

On "back order."

 

Thanks for that. Aren't the multis also missing for Glass House?

Oops, didn't notice the back order status for Deep Discount/ImportCDs!

 

Wayside music still has 5.1 power and glory and Octopus

 

The fact that Steve Wilson keeps on doing these 5.1 versions is a good reason for me not to get the box set because that means with the Alucard and DRT remasters I would have three to four versions of each album. I don't need another box set with all of them

 

I would get the 5.1 of octopus before it goes out of print because once the 5.1 goes out of print the only way you're going to be able to get it is in the secondary Market. Just like the Marillion stuff, once that goes out of print it only gets reprinted as a single disc stereo version

 

Yeah, only interested in the Blue-ray version (I should have been more specific.)

I can't tell if the German company still has copies physically available and damned if I can make heads or tails out of the information in that Amazon link.

 

Germany

"Delivery time is at least 4 weeks (if available from our supplier)"

So, unclear. You could shoot them an email: [email protected]


Japan

Only 1 left in stock, order soon.

Ships from and sold by thurmanbooks. Ships from OR, United States.

Next to the search box, click the Japanese flag and switch to English.

 

If you are in the US, wayside music is great. And they specify it has the 5.1. Amazon is only the single disc I believe.

 

They appear to have the DVD-A version and not the Blu-ray version, though. I gots to have that (elusive) Blu-ray version.

One used, one new around the $50 mark.

 

Thanks for the heads up on the Amazon link. Decided to go with the new copy. Hopefully this seller is on the level and has the actual Blu-ray (and still sealed) version in stock to send.

 

PM coming.

 

Gentle Giant were never successful in the UK which is a shame but had a cult following in parts of the EU and the USA and Canada. The respect for their music has really gained steadily over the years and rightfully so. I had a hunch the box set would sell out fast with the growing appeal of them as a truly great band and finally getting their due. Saw them live in 1973 hands down one of the best concerts I ever attended. Their album In A Glass House was never released in the United States back in 1973 but sold over a 150,000 copies as a import which is quite remarkable back in the day. So I’m elated the box sold out so quickly. And glad I wasted no time buying the box set.

 

My dad got me into them at a young age. He got into them when he lived in Montreal as like you said they had quite a fan base here in Canada. The box is a beautiful set and I only wish my Dad were still alive so I could have bought it for him.

 

You’re Dad had great taste! Sorry for your loss. Yeah, Montreal was and is a great town for progressive rock. My Father was born in London Ontario in 1915 and emigrated to Detroit in the 1920s.
