A couple of interesting things of note:

The multi-track tapes for the ‘India’ were located so it’s not an upmix in Atmos as it was on the 5.1 mix.

Before you rush to place your Avalon order, let me say that we have been listening to you, and our international audience in particular, and to help reduce shipping costs, we are going to do something a bit different and offer you Roxy Music’s Avalon in a bundle with the next release, #37 in the SDE Surround Series! To be announced later this month, #37 is an album originally released in the mid-80s, that we think you’ll love!

Buying #36 and #37 together offers significant savings on shipping both items separately and we’ve made the bundle a little bit cheaper too (#37 will retail at £25). Both titles will be released on 9 May 2025 so there isn’t even a time penalty in buying both together. You can cancel the bundle order at any time, up until 2 May.

What do you think #37 will be? Perhaps Songs From the Big Chair? Welcome to the Pleasuredome?

Mmmmm.....do I take the gamble and order both.......knowing it might be Foster & Allen or James Last

I notice it has the option to bundle the next title which is yet to be announced, have there been any titles in the SDE series that have been numbered but not exclusive? The listing says exclusive slipcase but makes no mention of the title being exclusive.

#37 - As yet unannounced SDE blu-ray in clear amaray blu-ray case with exclusive slipcase. An album originally released in mid-80s (this title will be confirmed sometime in Feb '25)

I believe everything that's been numbered has been SDE exclusive right?

I'm hoping it's Hunting High And Low, even though we don't have confirmation on whether the entire album was mixed or not and hasn't been on streaming platforms.

Wait... What about "Always Unknowing"? Is that just missing from the 5.1 mix presentation? Because it's not in the tracklist...

Edit: Just submitted a comment on the SDE announcement post. Hopefully it gets approved and answered.

Edit #2: Drat. It won't be included.

I'll pin you in a minute!

(my 2025 new year's resolution was to make more empty threats)

More empty threats? As in, opposed to you usually following through?

 

[Rhinojack]

Ouch! Quadio 7 $100.00 and SDE Avalon $54.74. No Rhino code would work, and SDE Avalon is the costliest I bought from them yet.

I've got bad news about that.

 

[bayards]

Ordered! Ferry's Retrospective is superb.

 

[Dynamic Editor]

This is going to be very unlikely but I wonder if Always Unknowing will get a bonus Atmos mix for the potential blu ray?

Sadly, no. Not sure why the band are against including it for the 5.1 stream.

Purple Rain is also possible. 1984 was when it was released, and that's mid-80s.
