DVD/DTS Poll Caravan - In The Land Of Grey And Pink (Steven Wilson 5.1 Mix) [DD DVD+2CD]

[Wissing]

I listened before reading any other comments here and will say that I think this sounds great. So I was surprised to read the Dullbee derision. Full disclosure: this is the only Caravan release I have ever heard. I am not biased by hearing the original release before this one.

This sounds great. I love this music and dolby or not I am happy with the sound. And the mix
When this came out Neil said he heard the high resolution version which smoked this Dolby version but that is hard to believe
This is highly reccomended now a little pricey but worth it.

The original vinyl of Land Of Grey and Pink was released in April 1971. Any chance of a 50th Anniversary PCM edition of the SW 5.1 mix? It would be appreciated by many on this forum.

Incidentally listening to the CDs in the car, at this time. Like this quirky record with the exception of the "love to love you" song. Yick!

I like the album except 'Golf Girl'

"Golf Girl" is a highlight for me.

I decided to play this DVD to have another listen, the surround mix to me isn't amazing but does sound superb. I am happy with the sound overall, it's an album that's good to play on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

The ac3 feels somewhat edgy.

That’s the one problem I have with AC3...it has that edgy or “grainy” sound to it. Some titles are much worse than others. This one doesn‘t sound that bad. Fleetwood Mac sounds pretty good too.

A new Caravan box set was announced today. It includes the “48/24 stereo & 5.1 Mix by Steven Wilson of In the Land of Grey & Pink - on Blu-ray for the first time.”

The box is huge (37 discs) and pricy (£275), but includes just the one surround mix.

Fantastic..... and expensive!!

Will the 'new Steven Wilson mix' be the same he did on 2011 but was released only in DVD Lossy?

I'll make do with the original SW 5.1. Wish the early albums could be in surround, but no. . . .

 

[Matt Wilson]

Yeah, I preordered the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink box yesterday. There's only the one Wilson 5.1 mix just like there was only one for Gentle Giant in their box. But that particular disc is unique to that box set only, the Wilson In the Land of the Grey and Pink disc has been available for years...

 

[Imbobman]

I gave this a 10!
Overall a really great one. Almost can't say enough good things about this one.
Tremendous mix , thank you Steven Wilson. DD or not, that doesn't take away from what's here. Great music, sound quality & performances! The organ played thru the fuzz face/cry baby wah-wah pedal...You don't hear that anymore. The 2 videos done for 'beat club' are classic!
That reminds me, back in the day, '71, I'd gotten this lp when it first came out.
I had no where to play it since I was sort of homeless & on a motorcycle. I used to go to a buddy's house to hear it..
Till this title was discussed here, I'd pretty much forgotten all about it...
Now 50 years later...The lyrics from the 7th section of ' Nine feet underground' , 'Disassociation', come to my mind....
' ..and it brings it all back to me'...'♥
& thank you to all of you for such a lively discussion....

I first heard it in the mid 70's. I always liked it, but liked other Caravan albums more. After all these years though, I find I've listened to this album not only more than any other Caravan album, but more than most of the albums from the 70s and more than most of my multi channel collection. Nice story. Thanks for sharing.

Please do a comparison when you get it, I might have to sell a kidney.

The Wilson 5.1 mix of In The Land of the Grey and the Pink included in the upcoming box is going to be the exact same one that has been available for years. Not sure what you want me to compare.

Will it be lossless in the deluxe box?

 

[CINERAMAX]

It says Bluray...

 

[Imbobman]

I was wondering the same thing. Yes, it's on Blu-ray but will it still be Dolby Digital? If so why bother putting it on the blu-ray!
