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

The Directors Cut dvd does not have a 5.1 mix .

 

Thanks. I guess it’s been awhile since I watched it.

 

I have not watched the Directors Cut in years. My go-to version is the original version that is a bonus feature on the dvd. The downside of that is I rarely get to see the Abbey Road footage.

The Directors Cut does at least include interview footage that was exclusive to that version but I haven't seen these for a long time as I really can't deal with the new non Floyd cutaway shots that were inserted into the Directors Cut version.

Adrian Maben has been showing the original version along with an extra documentary using the interview footage in various screenings. I have been eagerly waiting for this to be released on blu ray.

 

I think on the DVD I have only the Directors Cut is in 16:9 while the original film is 4:3 which would explain why I normally watch the DC.

 

I am the opposite. I want to see the film in the format it was filmed in and would hope whenever the blu ray is released that they release it in 4:3.

 

I will watch it again in 4:3. I can totally understand why you prefer that version. I’m watching on a huge projector screen so 16:9 usually looks pretty incredible. Either way it sounds like I’m gonna have to get this set for the 5.1 and the Pompeii CD for the car.

 

I’ve been ordering some U.K. versions of these. Can someone confirm that these are region free? The seller Rare Waves has the blu ray listed as region B while on Discogs they’re all region 0.

 

Im almost certain they are region free. But is better to confirm with someone wiser.
Mine came with the sticker region 0

 

Thank you!

 

If I had any video editing skills I would burn a Pompeii Blu ray using the 4.3 video from the DC and the 5.1 audio from the EY.

 

Don’t they run at different speeds, or is that just the PAL release? If I play the audio ripped from the DC vs. the EY, the DC is noticeably higher pitched.

 

Not sure,never dealt with the PAL release.Hopefully we get an official Blu ray with all this mess straightened out,including all versions with multiple audio options and that documentary thing tacked on.

 

...not only is the directors cut dvd stereo only, there is no uncompressed option. Dolby Digital stereo only.

 

There is bright and harsh and then there is this. Both the stereo and the surround presentations are so powerfully shrill that I have to assume either Andy Jackson made a mistake, Andy Jackson has dramatic hearing loss or there was an error in the way the audio made it to disc and it was too late to fix it. There are some moments were the audio distorts that just can't be on the original source. I can tolerate this but it was a huge disappointment for me at the time. I was so excited to get a lossless surround sound of this and...yeah...this wasn't good.

 

I'm still debating on saving up for the big box. I'm interested in the exclusive Continu/ation discs. Can anyone comment on the sources used for each track and if they are upgrades to what's in circulation bootleg wise (ie what's floating around on youtube)

 

It would be quicker for you to back read this thread than it would for me to say what is right and wrong about the continu/ation set.

 

A lot of disappointments here as well. Many of the songs are soundwise a lot inferior compared to what is circulating. But it has a very nice Echoes and one of my secret favourites, Corrosion alias Moonhead. I made my own compilation using better sources if avaiable.

 

All available on boots in equal or better quality - both audio and video.

 

Hi all, can anyone confirm that this set includes, in addition to all of the extras, all of the studio album tracks found on the standard albums from Piper through Obscured by Clouds? Apologies if this was posted elsewhere in this thread, but I don't have time to wade through 340+ pages of responses to find the answer.

 

no it does not

 

thanks. I guess with the Discovery set coming out not long before this was released, there wasn't really much need.

 

Which boots? (or maybe there are too many to list.)

 

I bit the bullet and snatched a good used copy online. Looking forward to digging into the box when it arrives.

 

It’s been announced that a mono remaster of Pink Floyd’s second album A Saucerful Of Secrets will be released to mark this year’s Record Store Day on April 13th!
To mark the announcement, a video for Let There Be More Light – the opening track on A Saucerful Of Secrets – which was filmed on the London underground in 1968 has been released. See:

The video featured in the Germination set.

 

Why isn't it the entire song?
