Repressing? Are you sure this isn't just wishful thinking? This has never been out of stock at Amazon UK. I'm not sure they are repressing the series as there is no listing for the other long-out-of-print CD/DVD-A Talking Heads albums.

@Titch
The Amazon add is for Remain in Light only.
Is it a pipe dream ?
I have one pre ordered and will let you know....

Yeah; that's weird. Maybe somebody found a box of leftovers in the back of a closet somewhere.

I also pulled the trigger so I guess we will find out soon enough.

I'm tempted b/c < $15. But I got the Brick, so it would really be fairly redundant!

I have the Brick too, but I purchased all the CD/DVD-A sets separately because it's much easier to take them out of the shelves than out of the Brick each time, as well as the Dualdiscs being heavier, and possibly wearing the drive mechanisms in my Oppo more.

The stand-alones are not dualdiscs?!

The European standalones were CD+DVD-A sets in jewel cases, while the U.S. standalones were DualDiscs in paper digipacks.

[jefe1]

Thanks.
I ordered this too.
Then I searched my amazon orders and see in 2014 I bought the dualdisc version for under $5. I only have two of their discs so this will be a repeat. Oh well still have time to cancel if need be suppose the separate discs is a better option than one dualdisc.
Guess I should listen to this too....

 

[edisonbaggins]

Well, since this is apparently a CD & a DVD-A, I went for it. Forgotten gift card brought my total down to $8!

"In stock" date now pushed back to March 1.

Is the UK dvd region locked at all? Might have to take the plunge on this one.

DVD-Audios are not region encoded.

DVD-Audios are not region encoded.

Thank you. I did not know that.

 

[marpow]

I have the Brick Box, never had a problem with it.
What would be the purpose of purchasing the DVD-A?
Is the Duall Disc lossy and the DVD-A lossless?
Has anybody heard a difinitive ear test, I'm inclined to not purchase.

 

[sjcorne]

They are completely identical.

 

[marpow]

They are completely identical.

Thank you Jonathan, well there goes my answer, not going to purchase.
