Wow, finally came to fruition I see. Preordered.

Mine arrived today, and its Jimi Hendrix, so I had to listen rather than place on the mountain. I really enjoyed it, the mixes fit the period and when something is panned it fits, for such an old recording it sounds great.

What could have been if Jimi had lived - I still remember going into school the day after he died and it was all we talked about.

The one negative is the <bleep> cardboard sleeve with insert slots, OK nothing fell out in transit, but it was nigh on impossible to get the Blu-ray in its own cardboard sleeve out of the slot - I did eventually get it out without destroying the outer sleeve. I haven't re-inserted it!

Wait wait wait... This is real? Gilligan really made it off the island this time? You sure there isn't a twist after another commercial?

My stupid analogies aside. The $64,000 question: Is the audio for the 5.1 mixes corrected here or the same significant low fidelity compared to the stereo originals (as the leaked bluray featured)? Different running order too as suggested in earlier comments? Is Room Full of Mirrors still an upmix of the alternate drums rough working mix track?

 

[DuncanS]

I listened to it whilst working, so not totally attentive to the finer detail, but it sounded Ok quality wise, as for Room Of Mirrors I'll have to listen again to see if I can spot if its an upmix. The sleeve of the BD in the set is below (is it the same as the one that escaped?). Edit: It does say 2021 at the bottom.

 

[jimfisheye]

That's the same song sequence and looks just like the escaped copy that features reduced fidelity and the one upmix.

I don't know if the reduced fidelity just is what it is and due to the tapes aging poorly. There was no obvious telltale of an authoring technical mistake. Just the original stereo mixes to compare to and the recent 5.1 remix of Electric Ladyland. This sounded dull and choked next to those. Not bad per say. The mixes are greatness in fact! But it was lo-fi next to the stereo originals FWIW.

Would love to hear definitively from someone with both copies side by side.

We were speculating that the upmix was a mistake because if the multitracks were missing for Room Full of Mirrors, they would have at least upmixed from the original final mix instead of one of the bonus track outtake mixes. One would assume anyway.

Amazon - "Now arriving tomorrow by 11 PM"

 

[~dave~~wave~]

It's become apparent to me that, despite excited hopes and speculations, the boxes that deliver in six weeks will be new old 2021 stock that will have been warehoused in various, possibly uncontrolled conditions, for three years.

The blu ray "promo" discs that appeared on eBay are the exact ones that will deliver in the vinyl and CD boxes.

There is no new pressing of a blu ray with revised track order, better mix or mastering, hi-res stereo versions, or any other pipe dreams.

The 48-page book has not been re-printed.

The printed date on every single item in the box will remain 2021.

...The sleeve of the BD in the set is below (is it the same as the one that escaped?). Edit: It does say 2021 at the bottom.

My prophecy has fulfilled, for better or worse.
New old stock.
I was not jivin' with no Cosmik Debris.

Thanks for the early confirmation.

The three CDs of unreleased material have hit the streaming services.

Because I already got the blu-ray and the news that the disc in this set is the same, when Amazon asked me today to approve a delay until next week, I cancelled my two-year-old preorder.

 

[fetchmybeer]

Got mine yesterday from Bull Moose. Man I bet they were glad to have that order off their list!

Listened to about half and thought it sounded pretty good. My Friend is exactly as I thought it would be, with the bar sounds and harmonica in the rears. Packaging is OK by me, a bit smaller than expected, but nice.

Same problem here, a real struggle to remove, I put my disc in a CD/BD inner with the edge poking out a little to make it easier to remove. Then again as I also got the LP set I have two BDs, the disc in the LP box isn't in any kind of slot so the BD in the CD box will probably never be played.

Jimi is in de house

What a lovely thing to wake up to.
Reportedly, the delay message has been going out for a few days, but they waited to send it to the earliest orders last?

I suppose I could have cancelled as soon as others started getting shipping notices (or even before), but I held out hope that the deficiencies on the blu-ray had been addressed. The final deciding factor for me was seeing that the rest of the content was on Apple Music. Heck, now I hold out hope that an Atmos mix of the content on the blu-ray might show up there.
