Be-Bop Deluxe in surround! (“Drastic Plastic” out in 2021!)

Good vibes to Dunc's mum get well and give Dunc some 5.1 relief

Well, I guess Burning Shed _did_ jump the gun -- guess what package was awaiting me this afternoon?

I'll try to post pics later if no one else does. In the meantime, I put it next to the SUNBURST FINISH, and apart from the new one being maybe a quarter inch (or less) taller from top to bottom, they are otherwise the same size! They will stick out of the bookshelf at the same width.

This is why I thought it was weird... why not just make them the same size if they're going to be that close anyway? (I don't really care, though... just pointing it out)

Yes, I find myself agreeing, but hey, maybe it is the OCD in me. Wish it extended to having my rooms neatly organized

ImportCDs just notified me that mine has shipped.

No notification for me yet, dammit!

Maybe they are shipping according to when they received the orders. I ordered mine on March 18th. Besides, you will still likely have yours before I do.
They might be releasing international shipments first, knowing that they will take longer to arrive … keeping the May 31st release date in mind.

I ordered mine from importcds on 2-28 and so far no notification. But I am relieved they started shipping them. That’s encouraging!

So, by the time the Kid finally did receive his 5.1 deluxe remix of FUTURAMA ..........

EH?

Don't feel badly. I haven't received my ImportCD notification, either

Hilarious but I hope it doesn’t come true!

Well, at least I didn't accuse you of being ...... er, HORNY!

Looks like mine is shipping from ImportCD's today (I ordered March 18) - I see the charge pending on my card.

Burning Shed shipment came through last week; this one is a dream come true from the great album itself through the bonus tracks, the video clips and on-screen graphics! (obligatory not hi-res comment)

How’s the surround mix?

How’s the surround mix?

The surround factor is deployed as the music (and also number of guitar overdubs) dictates. It's frontal with additional elements much of the time. Not discrete 24/7 but not Tom Petty either. Comfortable mix that respects the original album sound although there are also some rhythm elements I'd never heard so clearly before. That three bonus tracks are also in 5.1 is a nice touch.

Good to hear. Bill Nelson typically laid down a lot of guitar tracks, so I’ve always imagined Bebop translating well to surround in the right hands.

Just received my shipping notification from ImportCD that FUTURAMA has left the building and is en route to ME!

 

[SHB]

USPS says importcds has printed the shipping label for me! Hopefully my copy will do the “22 ska-doo”

Even the Kid got said notification! Woohoo!

By the way Kid, Amazon's current price is STILL $20 higher than what I paid at ImportCD.https://www.amazon.com/Futurama-BE-BOP-DELUXE/dp/B07P2JBRKD/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1HAE9Q5J5LN1S&keywords=bebop+deluxe+futurama&qid=1559224556&s=gateway&sprefix=be+bop+deluxe%2Caps%2C123&sr=8-1-spell
