Bull Moose now has it listed for $299.

I would have thought that more people would pass because of the high price, but right now at Amazon (where it's also $299) it is their #1 selling album.

It's #1 because Amazon doesn't charge until its shipped. Many folks pre-ordered to lock in when the price drops. If it doesn't go low enough I expect a lot of those pre-ordered to be cancelled.

BFD.
Trust me, being the #1 selling album isn't as big a feat as it was last century. 50,000 is a big number now days, which would have been laughable in 1973 when TDSOTM was released.

Maybe a lot of investors are ordering multiple copies so they can sell at triple the price when it goes out of print.....

It’s now listed here In AU at JBHiFi for $510 AUD!

That’s out of my price range for essentially just the Atmos mix, although my daughter wants the vinyl.

The good news on that one Is the vinyl has never gone out of print.

IIRC because it’s pretty much always in the top 500 on Billboard, record store owners apparently treat its placement as a stock index, ordering more when it goes up a few spots

Slightly off topic - but checking through my PF folder updating surround mixes (and quad) to 24/96 resolution - I found "Piper at the gates of dawn" in surround. Checking the file I can see it's quad in a 5.1 container with a bit of added bass for the sub-woofer. I can't remember where I got this from? Any ideas whether it was from a box-set?

From Apple Music if it hasn't been posted yet... just Brain Damage so far, and it looks like hi res only, no Atmos, at least at this time.

The Atmos mix will not be available on streaming platforms.

The Atmos mix will not be available on streaming platforms.

That's interesting, and tragic. No try some buy some eh?

I'm sure everyone who ranted about Revolver having no physical Atmos release will be only too delighted to pay the going rate for this one.

Wow- clueless in multiple ways...

Funny...

Must be an upmix from some privateer. The deluxe Piper was CD-only:

I'm still hoping this box set ultimately sells poorly. Many reactions online are incredulous to negative, both to price and content. The only way to send a message is by closing wallets and saving your money.

I’m hoping not, it will mean closer to the end and demise of physical releases

 

[madscot]

I’m hoping not, it will mean closer to the end and demise of physical releases

Or an end to the greed of some record labels

Is this something where the phrase “not mutually exclusive” comes into play?

Well, if physical releases become ridiculously high priced then their demise is assured as well.
