Interested in comparison between the old and new 5.1 and thoughts on the bonus material. And the doc too.

Does anyone have the Amz link or ASIN number? Thanks!
Thanks a million, ordered from Amz DE
I don't think any of these reissues have been given standalone releases. It's not a new mix for the 5.1 so it's really just a bonus anyways in the set (similar to In Absentia and Deadwing).
Everybody here was talking about a new 5.1 2024 mix. Was I mistaken in understanding what they were talking about?
It's not a new mix but a new master. The 2007 mix, remastered.
I believe that's right. The menu only says 2024 mix and 2007 mix, IIRC. That would seem to imply two different mixes but....
It should say 2007 master and 2024 remaster not mix.

Given that Steven said that the original multitracks were unusable (old DAW format), there is essentially zero chance of him having completed a new/tweaked mix.

I was looking at the menu when I wrote it, all I can say. Not arguing the point.
I haven't even ordered this yet but I'm already hoping he eventually remasters the 5.1 mix of his first solo album Insurgentes. It's a bit brickwalled and he already remastered the stereo tracks for digital, CD & vinyl re-releases some time ago (DR went from 6 to 9, so it was a noticeable improvement). Plus it's my favorite 5.1 mix of his own music.
