PAL/NTSC is for DVD, not Blu-ray. Very little stuff on Blu-ray is encoded as 576i50 or 480i60. You might have a concern about 1080i50 playback, but given it's Japan it's highly unlikely to be that.
was $72 that i came up with the price that it came to for you? just curious what people from the U.S. ended up paying in total for this. Thanks!
$74.85 EMS shipped from CD Japan to Tennessee. They've always come through for me for 11 years now, worth an extra buck or two. Thanks @NunoBento !
SICP-6396 Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd's first concert in Japan, "Hakone Aphrodite"! A miraculous original project in Japan releasing a set of an 7-inch cardboard sleeve of "Atom Heart Mother" and a Blu-ray containing footage of an original film from 50 years ago. This is the first time in the history of Pink Floyd that a Japanese original video and sound source have been recorded in Japan! The film was digitized from 16mm film using the latest technology and restored and remastered after three years of work (the sound source is also live from "Hakone Aphrodite"). The newly discovered B-roll-like "Scott & Watts" is also included as bonus footage! Pink Floyd's first 7"cardboard sleeve cover with a reprint of the commemorative obi from their first visit to Japan. Includes 5 major extras: 1: Japan original 60-page booklet featuring unreleased shots 2: Reprint of the "Hakone Aphrodite Pamphlet" 3. Reprint of the "Venue Map Flyer" 4: Reprint of the "Osaka Concert Poster" 5: Reprint of the "Hakone Aphrodite Ticket.
Thanks for the heads up on CD Japan. Around $65 total. There's a new member discount in there: FIRST2106C5.
the question i have is the length? the circulating footage is 15 min. and the footage is completely out of sync. actual concert footage is like 5min...then crowd shots and scenery shots. My questions are....how much more "concert" footage is there? and will it be in synch by using an actual audience source available? otherwise...might be a pass for me.
For anybody thinking of ordering from the UK who might also be interested in the 'Live Tour In Japan' book. I ordered with Amazon.jp but couldn't see a way to combine the shipping of this AHM set and the book together on the AHM release date so they are shipping separately (book shipped immediately, ordered yesterday and arriving Monday), but still worked out £12 cheaper ordering those two items together rather than separately so maybe an incentive to get both as they tie together nicely. Book worked out at around £35 shipped and the AHM set was around £51. Book was shipped through Amazon Global International Priority via DHL, which states all import/custom charges are covered so presumably will be same for AHM.
@rontoon - The footage on Early Years is your edit, right? including the audio accompanying the footage on Early Years which is not from Hakone but from somewhere in the US on the tour later that year. Is the audio on this Japan-only release going to be from Hakone...or...?
