Alan Parsons Project - The Turn of a Friendly Card (Box Set in Feb 2023, standalone Blu-Ray in May)

[IMachine]

Do you msen 2007 remix?

Yep. Trick and Three!
The Parsons mix is very enjoyable!

 

[JulesRules]

Gah. Not good news.
I suspect Parsons has lost his hearing and nobody is checking his work for sound quality.

I thought From the New World sounded fine.

As far as the liner notes go, do they make any mention of Eric Woolfson's musical Gambler? After all, that deals (ha!) with the same themes as TOaFC...

I find half of Ammonia Avenue to be bright while the other half isn't. I think that @edisonbaggins brought that up in his video review? From what I'm reading here, it seems that TTOAFC can probably be manipulated to one's taste after ripping it and making EQ adjustments with a DAW.

It's too bright!
Naw, it's just too bass shy
The F - R balance is bad,
Nope, it's prefect.
Etc, etc, etc.

LOL, that's what they make tone controls and balance sliders for.

No LOL. It's the bloody truth. Some people never touch them. Use 'em!

 

[Sal1950]

I listen to all discs with Audessey turned off. So direct sound. The highs are no problem here.

I wonder why you find it that to be that way?
If you've configured it correctly it should make for improvement.
Specially the highs since Audyssey's stock curve rolls off the very top end 3-5 db.

This particular release contains four videos, so it can't be considered as a 'High Fidelity Pure Audio' disc

Isn't there a US distributor for the blu-ray only disc?

Amazon should have eventually. That’s where I bought the last one.

I received my copy from Barnes & Noble today. The case is the same size as the Be Bop Deluxe reissues. I will check it out tonight. I'm pleasantly surprised by B&N. I thought I would get it next week. They do a nice job with their tracking. The price was high but I had a gift certificate that made it affordable for me and it came with free shipping.

 

[Blackwood]

Got my copy today. I had seen it mentioned about the box being smaller than the previous boxes, but had forgotten about it... until I opened it.

For space considerations, I like smaller boxes like this (and even smaller like the Zappa Waka/Wazoo set) but I have to admit... the difference in size from the pervious APP boxes messes with my sense of order and structure on my shelves.

Any other folks in the USA having issues placing an order? The screen seems to freeze up when I put in my Credit Card info?? Weird

 

[SHB]

Spinning it again. I really like the mix. Nice use of the rears. I must be going deef like AP because I didn't think it was too annoyingly bright.

 

[marpow]

Finally the box set arrived tonight with the postcard.
Looking forward to a listen tomorrow.
