    Very underwhelming and over priced. Another missed opportunity. I was hoping for more audio because a lot was left out.

    Peace Be With You was dropped at the last minute as well as early versions of One Slip and Signs of Life. CDs are very cheap to produce. I can understand some of the omissions on TEY but not this time.

    I'm not going to pay more than $300 for this. Hoping for individual releases. This may be the first time I don't buy a Pink Floyd release. I can understand the high cost of TEY with so much material and so many rights needed to be acquired. The band should own the rights to most of this stuff. Gilmour is very generous when it comes to charities but there is no charity for his fans.

    For which people is this boxset made:

    Casual fans: no way, normally too expensive
    Collectors: normally no way; nothing real interesting things

    That' s ridiculous....

    150 euro maximum

    Not excited in the least. Perhaps, at nearly 61, I've finally grown up ? I already have The Division Bell and The Endless River in 5.1. AMLOR in 5.1 is not going to cost me over $400.00 :laugh:

    €460!? Pink Floyd (1987) Ltd can **** off. A shocking price to charge for, effectively, 3 albums and 2 DVD's plus a few scraps.

    @ rontoon

    Is there a chance for a letter to the Management signed by all of us?

    Here is a post I wasnt expecting from you @rontoon . I totally agree with you though.
    In the previous thread I mentioned that I dont believe this box will have individual volumes. How will they divide the material without redesigning the whole thing? In TEY there were already individualy volumes on the big box, but now there isnt. The only thing that aparently seems in condition to be sold individual is the book with the 5CDs, but I dont see that happening. Maybe this is more in the spirit of the Immersion Sets, even the format. What do you think?

    As for me, since DG era is not my top of the rank PK its very unlikely I will spend any money on anything on this box, unless prices will seriously drop. What gives me more curiosity is the new AMLOR remix.

    This.
    No casual fans would buy this, and in my opinion no collectors in his/her right mind would be willing to shell out $500 for this, unless they're filthy rich.

    This box should be $200 maximum. And even to justify that price tag, we need much more previously unreleased material.

    Immersion sets for the moment. Animals 5.1 pencilled in for next year. No word on the discussed 5.1 of The Wall. TFC remains unexpanded beyond the insertion of When The Tigers Broke Free in 2004.

    They go by so fast and before you know it, you're in the later years.

    Amen.
    Cannot understand for the life of me how they wrecked the audio part of this set. I mean, not even Venice?!

    It is. Luckily I have some JB vouchers to use, and a birthday in the back end of the year.

    I hope they show a song from DSOT &Venice prior to the release along with a track from Pulse showing the new edit. I want to see footage from those shows before i pre-order

    Very eager too see what they have done with DSOT Footage. As WYWH from Knebworth is a great new edit some really cool new camera angles it looks great that footage

    Maybe that's why he is generous to charities then?
    Ron, save your money for Abbey Road and In The Court Of Crimson King boxes instead, they are more rewarding

    So far all releases since 2016 had been underwhelming and poorly produced and curated. EY at least had more content

    £344 at what records - still pricey but when I bought TEY from them they were the cheapest.

    We may get lucky and get a SuperDeluxeEdition price deal but suspect that wont be until after Christmas at the earliest.

    Cheers

    Would they ever revive the concept of "Experience" and "Immersion" sets for Animals and The Final Cut?

    I was wondering that myself - it does sound distinctly different but YouTube isn’t the most accurate when evaluating audio.
