Oh, so there's still some left? I was only going by Paul's tweet that said they were expecting to ship UK orders on Wednesday IIRC, just assumed these were the last ones to go.

My SDE CD is still "getting ready".
EDIT: I asked Anne and she said it was sent on Wednesday, but it is untrackable.
Also, a status update on my Blu-Ray - it arrived in a customs center, where it will probably stay for a week or so

 

[bayards]

Arrived today.....

Arrived today.....

Nice one.

Did it arrive with your regular 'Royal Mail' post? If so, mine has come and gone

Mine didn't arrive in today's post either . It was posted to me on Wednesday, so presumably it was sent out second class post (even though £3 post and packing was charged !). Hopefully tomorrow then.

Mine is still in the UK, I think. Last update was, anyway. And that was 2/23, so maybe it's moved since then...

I didn't really expect mine to take this long (even by carrier pigeon) 3-days so far,
so when is the Tipping Point ............ the point of no return, or of no disc?

 

[Strilo]

Will you ever know?

I just received notification that mine is sitting in my mailbox box. I'm very impressed by SDE & royal mail and US Mail. Great job! I am amazed I got it on the day of release here in Northeast, Ohio. Hopefully, the same will happen with the Marillion release.

Mine arrived today although I did pay for tracking, didn’t want to risk it getting lost??

 

[bgf1973]

No news about my order (blu ray)…

 

[Perp]

Since, I did not receive a cancellation email or a PayPal refund after my ‘Glitch’ order, I’m going to continue to remain patient seeing how Paul’s operation is very small and probably only 1-2 people at a time are shipping out approximately 2,000 Blu-ray discs. Plus, the CD version and whatever else he sells on his store.

Receipt reports from Chicago, Nebraska, and my home state of Ohio. Envious!
Mine must have fallen onto the tarmac when they were offloading the cargo plane. Royal Mail says it was turned over to USPS and USPS is saying that they waiting to receive.

Townsend (the distributor handling Marillion's release) have changed my order's status to complete with tracking # overnight but DHL says they are awaiting the shipment.

Folks, some poor mod has to go through all of this and delete it. Why are we still posting about shipping?
It will arrive sometime and it will be ok.

 

[sjcorne]

Actually if you're going to post about shipping, this is the right place to do it. We don't want to see any of that on the poll thread once it goes live

Good, 'cause I'm starting to worry, not a peep from SDE about my shipment yet

 

[jefe1]

I have a USPS tracking number but the package has still not yet left the UK

 

[4-earredwonder]

My SHIP just came IN! Whoopee...along with my Dutton Vocalion Classical Discs!

Since there's still no news about my glitch order (or waiting list) I gave the Tidal Atmos mix a go (only listened to the core 5.1).

Wow, much much better than the stereo mix! The whole thing opens up nicely and is a pleasure to turn up (Master Plan is just majestic with the vocal reverb travelling across the room).

Even the songs I didn't appreciate much on first listens are easier on the ear- on Demons I think the auto-tune/vocoder effect is turned down slightly (or maybe I just got used to it? It's still not a great song, though) and I'm enjoying End Of Night more. Interestingly enough, it seems the high-pitched, sine-wave'y synth that first appears around 0:45 mark is missing from the surround mix entirely. Stay also got more interesting with the surround treatment.

There's mostly dry vocals in the center and lots and lots of activity in the rears.
Even though I'm not crazy about the track, the beginning of Demons with the synth lines panning 360 simultaneously in both directions is fun, the ending of No Small Thing gets crazy too. The SFX at the beginning of Rivers of Mercy is entirely in the rears (and what an eerie experience it is considering the recent events in Europe) and the whole track is just gorgeous. My favourite though has to be Master Plan which sounds huge.

Here's hoping SDE gets their act together and gets the disc to me as I'd love to do better than a Tidal rip

I listened to the Atmos mix last night on Apple Music too and I thought it sounded fantastic.

I will give my Target Exclusive vinyl a spin tomorrow.
