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

[inspclouseau]

Had this on pre-order through Amazon back when it was first listed as one. Three days ago, our pre-order was changed to April 3 release? We canceled and ordered through 3rd party vendor. Shenanigans!
~Thanks for reviews here...do appreciate that!

You can't argue at that price

I bought the box set from Amazon at a 40% discount - $71 total. Better than $100+.

And just £19.10 at Amazon UK... Not as cheap as Burning Shed but still cheap enough

Finally went down to 66 dollars for the set (Amazon). Wanted this set, finally getting delivered in mail today. Cool they have the stand alone too now for pre-order! Exactly as should be for all 'sets'

The Amazon link says the Blu-ray is region 2B. Is this going to be the case?
I didn't think Blu-rays had region coding until I got a movie for Christmas that wouldn't play.

 

[inspclouseau]

I think it's a mistake. Isn't blu ray audio not subject to region? Think all good on this release.

 

[jaybird100]

I think it's a mistake. Isn't blu ray audio not subject to region? Think all good on this release.

Blu-Ray is subject to three regions. The US and Canada are Region A. Europe, Australia, and Japan are Region B. Everywhere else is Region C. I could be a bit off on the geographic areas, but if a disc is intended for all regions, it will show all three region codes on the cover.

 

[inspclouseau]

Looking at the audio only blu rays we own... they are either no region or labeled abc (all) region. But wondering about the 'promotional' videos in this one? Thinking mislabeled amazon ad.

 

[DennisMabry]

The description for the box set, says the BD is region free. I can't imagine they would have a different pressing for the single release. I hope.

I ordered it from Burning Shed. No mention made of region codes there. I would expect it's for all regions.

 

[Bill B]

I'm pretty sure that is not applicable to blu-ray audio. I asked the same question a couple of years ago about King Crimson blu-ray audio that had the same designation on Amazon. More likely whoever made the decision to include that warning doesn't know much about blu-ray audio.

Regardless, it's Amazon, so who cares? You can always return it.

...blu-ray audio...

I feel like a broken record at this point, but Blu-ray Audio isn't an existing standard. It was proposed, but never realized. All playable Blu-rays are the same, with the same folder structure (BDMV). Any can be region-locked. It is standard practice, however, for music-centric discs (same as DVDs) to be region-free or all-region so that they can be sold worldwide in one version.

I created a new account with Burning Shed and placed my order. Disc = £13.99. Postage = £2.50. Total = £16.49.
