(Cheaper still if, under "currency options," you tell PayPal you want to pay in Euros and let your bank/credit card determine the exchange rate.)

dammit, I didn't know about that.

Ok just ordered to the UK from JPC, total Euro conversion cost was £70.75, including postage, managed to somehow blag an 8% discount code too.
I realise that I may end up paying import taxes but I've never been hit on my previous 3 packages (& they do pack well), can always cancel but more than happy for this price for what is in my all time top 5.

You can already pre-order from Rhino if you so choose. $119

Lamb Chops on Broadway - RHINO $119.98

And you get a free poster, while supplies last

 

[Todd 987]

Just placed my order with Rhino. We have some great releases to look forward to. Lucky us

 

[H.A.L.]

The poster sold it for me . . . well, maybe to buy from Rhino! Still waiting on SPITFIRE. . . .

Based on all the recent listings and announcements at least we know there will be a 5LP set and a 5 disc set (4CD/1BD); the latter with an Atmos mix and Hi-Res stereo mix, plus a download package of previously unreleased demos.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much info around Bob Mackenzie's Atmos mixing experience - does anyone know what he's actually done on his own? On Gabriel's i/o, Mackenzie is only credited as helping out with additional mixing on a few songs, but he did not create the In-Side / Atmos mix (Hans-Martin Buff did). The info also states Mackenzie did the Lamb Atmos mix under the supervision of Peter Gabriel and Tony Banks. I have confidence that Gabriel would approve a good sounding mix, but I'm less keen on Banks involvement.

Unfortunately this creates some uncertainty around the release until we can hear some of it or see some advance reviews. Hopefully we'll get a streaming release of a couple of Atmos tracks before the physical release date. Guess I'll be waiting awhile before ordering this one.

 

[Thonolan]

As usual, I'll wait for the release date and for opinions on the mix. Too expensive for the only big prog band that never managed to resonate with my prog heart. But I like it enough to buy it if the reviews are glowing.

Same here.

It would be nice if new Genesis remixes were better balanced. Whatshisname tended to emphasize the vocal too much on his old remixes.

And of course there was the too-extreme dynamic range compression on some of those remixes -- that should be tamed. Wind & Wuthering is a prime example, though he dialed it back a bit for the 1970-74 albums

(Please, don't tell me 'Steven Wilson should do them'. No. Fortunately, SW doesn't feel much love for Genesis music)

I think what’s his name was Nick Davis. I thought the 2007 dts 5.1 remixes were pretty good. The vocals were very locked into the centre channel and could be reduced.

There’s a photo of him on the Real World website, for some reason I was expecting him to be older but he looks to be about 25 or maybe even younger!

Looks like the coffee boy snuck in to twiddle some knobs.

Just kidding...

...I think.

His Facebook page says he joined RealWorld in April 2022, and "Studied Sound Technology at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts" (looks like he graduated around 2020).

Does seem like a pretty big responsibility for such a fresh-faced lad (with no real track record). Hope this means PG knows what he's capable of and trusts him implicitly.

what 8% discount code?

At that age he can probably hear all the high frequencies that most of us here haven't heard for a decade or two. Or three.

 

[theCharm]

don't know whether to feel pleased or annoyed with myself for proving that £100 is not too bad a price

Very convincing!

For comparison, growing up in the early 80s behind the Iron Curtain - a very bad place to fall in love with rock music - price for a smuggled in, very non-mint condition vinyl album was about a half of a monthly salary of an engineer out of college. So a double album would be a full month salary.

I didn’t blink an eye, just like for The Beatles releases in glorious Atmos, with amazing packages and books and full-size cover art.

It remains to be heard how glorious the mix is on this, but I’ll happily give the kid a chance, maybe he’ll even kick it up a notch. After all, if Peter and Tony approved it, and perhaps folks at the Real World helped with a friendly advice… I’ve never heard a bad sounding record from the Real World, by Gabriel or anyone else who recorded there.

"Atmos mix under the supervision of Peter Gabriel and Tony Banks."

I imagine another frankly excellent mix with Tony's keyboard parts just mixed to perfection. Just like last time around. What appear to be mastering issues with that aside (treble boost and the vocal getting bumped up), he really had his parts dialed in. And he really doesn't seem to like lead electric guitar mixed as a soloing instrument! I'd love to be wrong and hear a new mix with the aesthetic of the original! Could those remixes really be considered all wrong by him and he's hungry to correct that? Get Steve's guitar leads back in the mix? That would be a very unexpected surprise, I think.

On the other hand, that "Archive" CD set with the heavily overdubbed and altered live show has all the electric guitar leads in the mix. Some of them newly overdubbed. So maybe something did go south on those remixes?

Are there even any decent digital copies of the original mix? Those Classic Records remasters/reissues sounded nice. I thought they sounded cleaner than the older vinyl copies I had or the Japanese imports. I never had original pressings. All the Genesis albums were a challenge because they are all long and needed the tighter, shallower grooves. Prone to noise and damage.

He recently clarified his feelings about Genesis in a recent episode of The Album Years. (Discussion starts at 7:47, drifts away and comes back at 9:29.)
