Tears for Fears-Songs From The Big Chair - HiRez 5.1!

[cupboy]

Best price I've seen for US customers HERE

Yea, if it actually shows up in the mail. I still have not received 80s Hits SACD that was shipped September 22. I need to wait one more day (15 business days) before I can request it be reshipped. Here's my USPS tracking number: 92748932508047000007114841

Way back when SFTBC was released, I always wondered if that 'live' part of "Broken" was really that. I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't just the studio recording with an audience and reverb dubbed in to make it sound live.

Chris Hughes, the producer, says it was a live recording. Not sure from where as they'd been playing Broken as a song for a couple of years already at their gigs.

Glad it's about the same time as the box; had the impression it was coming later.

The Amazon description talks about DVD-Audio! LOL They can be utterly clueless at times and are probably responsible for maintaining many people's confusion around the formats

Still nothing on Amazon UK though. As much as I'd like to support Blu Ray Audio, I'll probably wait a bit to buy this. The DVD-A in the box set delivers everything the Blu Ray does, so I'll probably pick up The Hurting and SFTBC when I have some spare cash burning a whole in my pocket and when I'm going through an OCD completist phase

I just picked up an original vinyl copy of SFTBC in mint condition for £3.99! My original must've gotten lost or left in some old teenage friends bedroom

Decisions, decisions...Stand alone BluRay or the box???

Decisions, decisions...Stand alone BluRay or the box???

It's a no-brainer for me. The 5.1 and new 2.0 mixes on the DVD-A in the box are the same resolution as the Blu Ray so if DVD-A isn't an issue, the box set, with all its extra content is clearly the best value That said, I believe (no pun intended!) the Blu Ray also has the 1985 2.0 mix, although not sure of the resolution, so that might swing it.

That said, my OCD will probably get the better of me and I'll buy the Blu Ray soon

Well, they have the correct HFPA disc case displayed but now this:

Item Under Review
This item is currently unavailable because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)

We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible.

Amazon just can't seem to get these BDA releases listed correctly.

 

[Cheezmo]

Well, it is listed incorrectly, it is labeled as a DVD-Audio. Someone probably told them, and they are reviewing it.

Yep...it's now corrected as a blu ray audio HERE

I kind of knew that Amazon Canada would revise their release date as they had this coming out Nov 4th, but given I have a listening session with some friends from out of town this Saturday and we only do it once a year or so I was really hoping this would be there in time. It's revised now to November 17th, one week AFTER the US release date which is par for the course for many items from Amazon Canada. Oh well, it's almost here...at least my Drums + Wires should arrive from Amazon UK before week's end.

the blu-ray now shows a release date of 12/9, while the box set still shows 11/10 release date.

Burning Shed and Amazon UK still have it in November. Maybe it's only a US thing.
