Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii - Steven Wilson mix?

He can make suggestions but he's not the one calling the shots unless it's his own music.

Well of course .

That only stands to reason.

Is there any point crossing my fingers for a 4K UHD Blu-Ray release?

Don't know why there wouldn't be. They've never been shy releasing previous remasters on physical media.

Well most commonly, with Floyd releases and otherwise, films *shot in 4K* have usually only ever landed on a standard Blu Ray disc, which isn’t a 4k format. For whatever reason, looking likely that this won’t see a release on the 4K Ultra format either. But I’d love to be proven wrong.

Honestly from my recollection (haven't watched the DVD in a while) this didn't appear to be shot using the best film stock or lenses. So an HD Blu Ray with Atmos may be fine. 4k is pretty mainstream at this point, so it's not out of the question. But not every film will benefit noticeably from being mastered in 4K.

My main wish is a physical release with the cleaned up audio in Atmos. But I certainly wouldn't complain about it being 4k UHD.

Looks like you'll get your wish. Over on SHF, the leaks are coming in fast. An edited version of "Echoes (Part 1)" is already on streaming sites in Atmos, though I'm not sure it's playable yet. And FNAC has the following listed (all separate editions): Blu-Ray, DVD, 2CD and 2LP.

That makes sense. Steven Wilson's Home Invasion came out on 4K UHD Blu-Ray a while after being available on streaming in 4K and HD Blu-Ray so it's not impossible.

It always a shame when 4K scans aren't made available on physical media but like you said, my main concern is the audio which I imagine would be the same regardless of video format. I'm a big fan of Wilson's mixing work so a definitive physical release of Live at Pompeii in Atmos would be an instant buy for me either way.

I can see my wallet getting upset again very soon (assuming we get a Blu-Ray release)

I always loved that picture of Roger at the GONG, and I had that with a beta hifi tape copy.
