    I posted many times in the previous thread about the absence of a live set and any bonus material. Glad to see this info slip out before the official announcements.

    I’m hoping we get to actually hear something from this remix soon in a promotional spot etc.

    The original mix is just wonderful but I’m interested to see what else they can do with it.

    Outstanding :D

    Agree that the price seems surprisingly reasonable, for now. I've locked in a preorder now, knowing that I can take a view on it closer to release day and cancel if needs be. The beauty of Amazon, it must be said...

    I don’t understand how people think the original mix is fine when it sounds like the drums were recorded in the bathroom of Britannia Row??

    I don't know that anyone is furious.

    After four years of waiting for this.... musically it is as skinny as it could possibly be.
    Format-wise it's as fat as it could be, unless they put a cassette and Reel to reel in there.

    It isn't all about Floyd either.... the industry is dry humping music lovers at the moment by putting small extras in huge, generally expensive boxes... it gets tiring after a while.

    I suppose the non-inclusion of the 8-track Snowy White linking track/solo just makes the 8-track more valuable.

    It'll be the deluxe for me if I can find a link that works

    I'm probably in for the BluRay, depending on price. This is my favorite Floyd album and I've also enjoyed the previous 5.1 mixes.

    Easy pass on the vinyl, considering I already own an original UK, a Greek pressing (which is basically "UK mastering, but quieter"), and the 2016 reissue, which might as well be a remix considering how different it sounds from the 1st UK.

    Also, to those talking about BluRays self-destructing in 2 years.... Is this really a thing? I still have about 100 BluRays on my shelf, most more than a decade old. Not a single one unplayable.

    They have worn me down like a fat barn yard animal where I am mildly pleased to just have a remix - sigh. I'll just have to be happy with the live shows/outtakes that are out there. It will be nice to have a vinyl artifact though.

    Animals was never remixed before. The 2016 pressing actually is the same original '77 mix, mastered for vinyl by Bernie Grundman.
    That this might sound different has something to do with the digital audio source, it's based on James Guthrie's remaster from 2011.

    I will buy the deluxe, as I need to hear this surround mix, but I continue to be baffled by the inclusion of DVD and Blu-Ray in these boxes. King Crimson are guilty of doing the same thing in their monster boxes. I think that the DVD/BD doubling up is far more useless/redundant than packaging the vinyl with the rest, and this is coming from someone who no longer buys vinyl.

    Still, exciting news.

    I don't think anyone has called it a "deluxe" edition. It's officially julst called "Animals 2018 remix." The "deluxe" label has been thrown about by people who wanted it to include things that were never in the cards.

    Both the Dark Side of the Moon Immesion and Early Years box sets had problems with the blu-rays. Both needed replacement disks sent out, although the Early Years only had the option open for a few months, before many of the blu rays affected by the problem even started to show it.

    The Dark Side of the Moon blu-ray from the European Immersion set eventually became unplayable. But there was (or still is) a replacement program.

    a DVD costs 25 cents to make with a mark up of 500% profit they rake in.

    A lot of people have never upgraded their DVD to blu-ray. I know it is unbelieveable here, but it is absolutely true.

    There never was a "complete" pigs on the wing. There was part 1 and 2 joined together with some linking material specifically for the 8 track created after the fact.

    Yea, it's interesting that in my searches I can't seem to find anything anywhere...
    Perhaps Amazon UK is ahead of the game, but I couldn't even find it on the Floyd site

    A remastered version of this is on the Snowy CD 'Gold Top', but it's been OOP for years.

    Is this real? The artwork on this package does look even better than on the large set.^^

    True, although on the Snowy CD 'Gold Top' it is called 'complete version'...
