Rush "Hemispheres" (40th Anniversary Box Set with 5.1 Blu-Ray Audio!)

[svengaleekie]

The only UK site with it is amazon.co.uk and they want £150.84
amazon.com wants $128.24, but after delivery & import duty it will be about the same

I got my Farewell to Kings set from Amazon for £128.64 inc post last year, I'm willing to pay the same or a little more for
Hemispheres, my top price so far is Kraftwerks 3-D The Catalogue at £130ish and that I picked up from the store.

Learn something everyday....

Richard Chycki, who apparently mixed the multi-channel on the new Hemispheres, used to be in a glam rock band with James LaBrie (Dream Theater singer) hahaha, you never know....

I have found this box set on Amazon UK at £82.27 but the description is so poor I cannot decide if it has any CDs or Blu Ray. Only vinyl is mentioned. Checking Amazon US doesn't really help. Does anyone know if this the full set? Thanks

What a first world problem we have on our hands here!

Mike, sounds more like THIRD WORLD problem to me!

pretty sure that's the 3 x LP version,
no 5.1 included

edit: confirmed when you enter B07HPY6791 into Amazon.com (U.S.) its the 3 disc vinyl 2015 remaster.

I would usually agree with you except Amazon UK listed and sold the Fleetwood Mac Mirage box set as vinyl and it would not come up on a search for CD or DVD. In fact, the only way I could find that was through a direct Google search - no results on a search of the Amazon website. And the description for Rush says 6 discs which tallies with the Amazon US listing, 3 vinyl, 2CD and 1 Blu Ray. Also I have not come up with any other Hemispheres box on a search on the UK site. Hmm! Intriguing.

Just checked the Rush website and the 3 vinyl version is only $50 which is reasonable. £82.27 for 3 LPs is pricey to say the least! Oh well, hold off for now then!

you beat me to it! you terror!!

Ok, many thanks.....and "Ouch" that makes the eyes water compared to $125 on the Rush website.

yes! the price is horrific!
hence my moan on here the other day i won't be getting it, even if its the best 5.1 mix Richard Chycki's ever done! one has to draw the line somewhere.

Not sure if we have a misunderstanding going on here or what, but no, not a third world problem. I'm over here with people who don't know when or where they'll get their next drink of clean water or mouthful of healthy food. We're chagrined over music mixes. It is meaningful to us and that's fine. Love of surround music has helped to keep me sane this year. It's just not something somebody stuck in the 3rd world will ever care about.

The misunderstanding is you didn't get his Rush reference...

I was hardly referring to the situation you've experienced in Afghanistan [horrors] and I sincerely feel for the plight of people the world over who have been displaced numbering in the millions by arrogant despots but to the way in which this album was treated. Sounds silly, petty and totally irrelevant in comparison, doesn't it?

Which was what, exactly?

I'm sure you weren't demeaning 3rd world people. However, regarding Hemispheres, no matter the quality of the mix, you're still describing a 1st world problem.
Were you trying to say "Hemispheres has received a 3rd world mix"? I think that might have been a clearer message (even though nobody is mixing surround in the 3rd world, but we digress...)

I was referring to the whole 'shebang" meaning: [1] Were the absolute master multitracks found [2] Or, is it a partial UPMIX [3] If Rich C. does the 5.1 remix will RUSH order another remix down the pike should Steve Wilson become available.

That's it in a nutshell, Mike. My third world reference was Ralphspeak meaning it's being treated in a manner unbecoming of a contemporary pricey and PROPER remix with vague 'credentials...referenced above.

Your meaning is utterly clear now. You've masterfully described a classic 1st world problem...
