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. :rocks

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?
 
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.
