Received my copy today.
Opened it up all the correct discs are there.
Happy to see the included concert recordings are full set lists. Will check it out tomorrow

Sent my box back to importcds for an exchange. Unfortunately, the box is now backordered. Glad I seem to be an outlier but sure hope I eventually get a copy.

I was finally able to get my hands on the Red set.
I only have a 5.1 setup but listening to the Atmos mix on my system sounds like "Red - The John Wetton Edition".
I'm a bass player and it's kinda cool to hear the bass so up front but I ultimately miss some of the other elements that make the songs memorable

Although other Atmos releases I've listened to seem to map correctly, I'll assume it's an issue with my system until I poke around with it a bit more.

I think it’s a mapping issue because Red on my Atmos 5.1.4 does not sound like what you’re describing. Wetton’s bass is certainly prominent, but not noticeably more than the original stereo version. How does the new 5.1 mix on the bluray sound on your setup?

I am ripping 2024 Red now. Two Blu Rays.
Quite a little project.
I have read the later pages of this thread and the Poll thread.
I ripped Blu Ray 2, listened to the original album, Red, in Atmos, and happy to say, I have none of the negative experiences of others.

MKV File.
It all sounds real good to me even though I am not an expert on all the little nuances of Red.

Listened to Red Atmos last night. Not quite as awesome to my ears as Larks. The standout for me was One More Red Nightmare. Need to check my speaker levels after recent Audyssey setup and listen again. 5.2.2 setup.
