Lovely asshats at Amazon.Click that UK link and it directs to the Amazon Germany link at 52 euros for me.
Only setting my address to the UK on my Amazon acct allows me to see the 33 pound price.
Funny that they won't ship this to Germany even though I buy plenty from Amazon UK for delivery here to Frankfurt

where were we? oh yeah, back to work before i get the chop

Oh gawd, I need more coffee!! as reading that, thought, why on earth would the company give him a Lamb or Pork chop.
...................I reckon that's what comes of having a sober Saturday night

The US Amazon price was only $40 and I preordered early on. If it were significantly more money, I would have waited for reviews about the mix. There just doesn't seem to be a lot to work with on this album in 5.1, let alone Atmos. But the low price mitigated the risk in my mind. If nothing else, maybe we get a great unmolested stereo version.

Rush was a 3 piece band. lol

Rush was a 3 piece band. lol

But unfortunately this isn't mixed by SW. I'll wait for a track up on streaming to evaluate before ordering, but I don't have high hopes.

Rush was a 3 piece band. lol

Yep. But Geddy Lee is a multi-instrumentalist who did a lot of overdubs.
Hendrix was a 3 piece, but with a lot of effects
ZZTop is a 3 piece. The double tracked guitars are what saves the Tres Hombres Quad.
Cream was a 3 piece, the simple production on Cream albums is closest to BOS to my ears. And I'd say there's probably not a lot to work with on a Cream album as well.

Well, hopefully Whittaker will at least make the wooshing winds move about.

 

[J. PUPSTER]

I'm hoping they can better mix Reg's amazing drums to fill out the soundscape. The first album has better drum sound

Well, hopefully Whittaker will at least make the wooshing winds move about.

Ranasakawa and a couple other folks I've heard from, have a good point about hopefully mixing the drums into a more immersive/surround soundscape

 

[sjcorne]

Indeed, just listen to the way Reg Isidore's drums were mixed in surround for the Rick Wright Wet Dream 5.1 & Atmos mixes.

 

[GOS]

Also, the cowbell at start of Lady Love.

Import CDs: $42.73
Deep Discount: $40.48

 

[GilWave]

Classic album but a pretty basic 3 piece band.

Really? So are:

Mountain
The Police
King's X
Cream

I'd be thrilled to have an Atmos release from any of them.

Not even listed on Amazon.ca… So I tried both robintrower.com and chrysalis.com but neither will ship to Canada? Any one know of a site that handle Canadian pre-orders?

I've ordered from ImportCDs before and they've always come through. Currently it's listed as US$42.73 plus US$7.99 shipping to Canada. But sometimes they drop the price closer to the release date (e.g. like they did with the recent Deep Purple Machine Head box set which went from US$73.44 in early Feb. to US$58.75 a few weeks later).

So maybe make a note of it for now and keep an eye on the price possibly dropping before May 17th?

I can second my experience with ImportCDs, in general. But keep in mind that if the price drops, they don't automatically adjust a pre-order (unlike Amazon); you'd have to cancel the order and reorder at the lower price. (Cancellation is done via a webform on their site, and isn't instantaneous, so keep that in mind as you get closer to the ship date.)

Now up for preorder at Rarewaves UK for £31.99, so I've cancelled Amazon!

Rarewaves seems to be my go to nowadays, as pre orders always seem to be a little cheaper than anywhere else, and my orders seem to arrive on the release day, or even the day before sometimes.

Amazon US. I've preordered mine, but the price shot up to $62 US, with delivery and import fees, etc.

Well IMHO with the exception of the Police(who I absolutely detest) all those bands you listed have significantly more involved songwriting than Trower.
Bridge of Sighs is a good album but Dewar even though a fine singer is a just barely competent bass player and it shows in the simplicity of the rhythm section.

Thanks for the link,all in at 42 euros for me here delivered in Germany
Especially since Amazon Germany has raised its pre-order price to 65 euros!

Pre ordered a couple of days ago I do hope that they will also do For Earth Below ( my favourite ) for it's 50th anniversary
