Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Box Set?

[bookofsaturdays]

I’m actually surprised Tony Banks is allowing the original mixes to be put back in print again, not only that but the fact that the 2007 remixes don’t seem to be featured at all is very interesting. I would’ve liked to have heard a more sympathetic mastering of the 2007 mixes, but what we are supposedly getting is very exciting!

The Atmos being done at Real World pretty much guarantees its success. If it’s anything like I/O however, we won’t be getting a dedicated 5.1 which is too bad.

Saw a post at SHF and this was from amazon.fr:

There is hope that this could be a proper Atmos mix as Bob Mackenzie from Real World Studios involved and had to look at Peter Gabriel-I/O and see same person was listed as one of the ones working on Atmos for that release.

[...]

On the audio Blu-ray: 2 versions of the album, one remastered in 96kHz/24-bit high resolution, and the other in Dolby ATMOS, produced by Bob Mackenzie at Real World Studios under the supervision of Peter Gabriel and Tony Banks.

Fingers crossed, though I'm not sure Bob Mackenzie's "involvement" signifies anything. On the RealWorld website, he's listed as a "House Engineer" (with no obvious experience with Atmos...). And his official credit on i/o was for "Dolby Atmos Additional Recording Assistance."

Amazon UK pre order

At £172 this has to be the expensive vinyl edition surely Shirley

I'm extremely surprised about that, in fact. I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm actually happy about the original mix.
I own the remix in vinyl (and SACD/DVD) and love it.
I also own a Porky cut of the original which sounds great.
My preference would be to get a fresh remaster of the OG mix since I skipped the 4 LP AP version.
And getting the Lamb live on vinyl makes it even sweeter.
It would be nice if the Blu-Ray would include all mixes like the King Crimson ones do.

It would be nice if the Blu-Ray would include all mixes like the King Crimson ones do.

Yes: 1974 stereo, 2007 stereo and 5.1 (remastered, if possible), and 2025 Atmos, all in lossless, all on the same disc, all synced to the slideshow as previously included on the 2007 DVD (but in 1080p HD). Unfortunately, I seriously doubt we'll get that.

Just posted on the band's Facebook page:

The fables and tales around "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" are amongst some of the great - even the release date is debated!
So either Monday just gone or this Friday is the 50th anniversary of its original release ... either way, we are delighted to announce 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)' - the album's definitive compendium which has been overseen by the whole band. It is available to pre-order now.

Today's teaser video. Looks like the Atmos mix will be streaming as well for those who don't want to shell out the money for the box.

I was just lamenting to a friend that to get this one album will cost about £100.

But then I was speaking to another friend about cheap albums in the early 80s. (MFP label releases, UK readers will possibly remember, cost £1.99 in the early 80s.) I then remembered that Duke was initially available at a 'special low price' of £4.99. So I think a full price album in 1980 cost £5.99.

Putting this into a relative price calculator gives an inflation adjusted price of £32.44. But I don't think that tells the whole story. There's also an option to see the price compared to the average income. In general, we have grown richer over the years (I know it doesn't feel like it). So using the income comparison gives an answer of what it felt like back then: £51.03! So for twice that you get a double album plus the live double album plus a book, etc. I don't know whether to feel pleased or annoyed with myself for proving that £100 is not too bad a price.

On the other hand: "Both 5LP and 5CD super deluxe editions . . . feature a blu-ray audio which includes Dolby Atmos Mix (and a 96/24 hi-res stereo mix) of the album by Bob Mackenzie, under the supervision of Peter Gabriel and Tony Banks."
