Amazon link, wonder if they will honor the pre-order price guarantee from 2022 that's ten dollars less, for everyone who orders before release date?

It doesn't look like it Duncan. I checked my order and it was $49.99.

The thought that this wasn't just corporate entities going at it and the notion they pulled it to fix an audio mistake seemed like the most absurd fantasy I could suggest!

That altered track sequence with the bonus tracks at the end and Room Full Of Mirrors early in the list! Just have to sit back and see what happens. This is the strangest thing I've ever seen with a release though!

And Amazon UK have it

Is there going to be a difference in the Blu-ray mastering, compared to the Blu-ray from the previous set?

I've heard there are issues with that original Blu-ray?

I've got one of the existing Blu-ray on its way to me but it's not arrived, so I haven't had a chance to listen to it.

What do people think? Are the problems with the original Blu-ray really bad...?...and is there a chance they might have been corrected for this release?

If the blu-ray track list posted is correct, it looks like they put the 5.1 tracks back in the order of the "First Rays of a New Rising Sun" album which is what the back of the blu-ray states the tracks are from plus 3 extras. As others have noted, the version of Room Full of Mirrors used on the First Rays album (and originally on Rainbow Bridge) is not the version that was used for the 5.1 version. I hope they corrected that for the 'revised & official' blu-ray in the set.

Honestly, I'll be shocked if this release turns out to even be real!
If it comes out with fidelity at least matching the Electric Ladyland 5.1 remix (if not matching the original stereo mixes) and the Room Full of Mirrors upmix replaced with a real mix of the official track mix I'll be stunned! Again, I was trying to suggest the most implausible thing I could ever say with wishing for that.

Just got an email from Bullmoose about a September release date.

How do these 5.1 mixes compare to the streaming Atmos versions?

I would add that a few of the songs on this disc are not in Atmos on Apple Music.

If they changed the order of the songs on the bluray and made new copies one would think they did more than that like fixing the issues some of us noticed. We'll one would hope.....

The new 'rare' tracks are Valleys Of Neptune and the studio Lover Man. Valleys was broadcast on a radio special in the late 70s I think. Eventually officially released on a posthumous album by the same name. I can't remember where or if that studio Lover Man was released before. For some reason I thought this included Drifter's Escape and I was mentioning the Loose Ends album but there's nothing from that here after all.

Hendrix was planning a double album called First Rays of the New Rising Sun with this material. He never finished it before his death and there was never a fully finished (ie sequenced) concept from his hand. These are the 3 main posthumous releases. Also very much not conceived or assembled by his hand! The eventual reissue of some of these tracks with the title First Rays of the New Rising Sun was still not anything conceived by him beyond the title. We don't know how Jimi would have finished this because he ran out of time.

Years ago, I'd heard that a group of fanatics met up with Tony Brown and he had, of course, kept a copy of the tape. He played it for those present but it didn't seem that most were paying attention! (Unbelievable!) Whatever the quality, I'd love to hear it but they better put it out before we're all gone
