That’s a tough one to resist, even owning the SACD.
it's a cushion, Mister Pupster!That’s a tough one to resist, even owning the SACD.
Wasn’t there something wrong with an early release of BD of this (hope they’re not just selling those off?)
No Freddie beloved Madman pillow included?
Edit- had a follow up corrected BD from lossy to DTS~HD MA! and they’re “Cussions” not Pillows!
Ahhh yes, looks comfy!
Ditto, and with my discover card got $10 additional off for a total of $31.19 after tax. Great album, even if the surround mix is mediocre it's worth it.
stop debating, you know you willBut...but...but, they're practically giving them away!
BTW, I'm still debating if I want to bite on that hook
The hook's already in there, he's just toying with it before he commits.
No atmos. Same mix as sacd just on BR. Redundant for sure.
Sadly, if this is true, the issue isn't the material but the pricing. This fell off my radar because of the list price, but at $40-ish it's a good deal. Same for those overpriced boxed/deluxe sets, few will buy vinyl and compact discs and trinkets/prints when all they want is the bluray, and vice-versa. Voting with our wallets should lead to better, more market-appropriate releases. I guess we'll see in time. Elton's got a huge following and most surround enthusiasts would fall within his music buying demographic. It would seem there's money to be made, hopefully the pause is just recalibration.
That statement might have meant something at one time...but not anymore....the reality is that not many companies are even interested in physical discs anymore....and the list of those interested in surround discs is even smaller......we are nearing the end of an era...now companies know that customers will pay for streaming or downloads....why would they want to bother with all the headaches of physical discs...
i don't know Mister P. but i doubt they'll have updated Blu-ray's inside
the Surround mix is great!! all Greg Penny's 5.1 mixes of Elton's Classic albums are top notch
seems very likely! in which case that insider at SHTV must've been talking a load of cobblers when he said it had sold well, exceeding expectations!
it's a shame because it's a well put together set, the accompanying book is superb, the video material's great even though it's been out there 'forever', the bonus track demos are genuinely worthwhile and previously unreleased. ah well..
I have Yellow Brick Road, and just checked the liner notes to see it's one of Greg Penny's mixes. Indeed, it's a very good surround mix.the Surround mix is great!! all Greg Penny's 5.1 mixes of Elton's Classic albums are top notch
