I just bought Rush “Sector 3” that has 5 CDs and “Signals” on DVD-Audio in Hi-Rez multi-channel and stereo at Amazon for about $43 bucks.

Oh man, I've never owned this. Pretty sure the 5.1 mix has been hated, right?
Edit - answering my own question...

Yes, I read the reviews long ago, but it was OOP at one point, if I’m remembering it right. And then one couldn’t buy it. If anything, the stereo part is in Hi-Rez on “Signals.” And you also get 5 CDs.

Sadly, the RBCDs in the Sectors boxes have the worst DR values in the Rush catalog. Here's a look at the DR values of the various editions of A Farewell to Kings.

Yikes. I’m glad I still have the original CDs. Perhaps I should cancel order. I only wanted the DVD-Audio.

Rush should get it’s act together. I thank a lot of these legacy bands hear that box sets sell well and so on. But don’t understand the market or even what proper sound quality is.

I appreciate the heads up, immediately ordered! I missed out on the Signals surround releases first time around (this box & Blu-ray), as both went out of print within a couple years of release. Glad to see this offered again! Even though this Signals DVD-A is a Richard Chycki mix, I recall @edisonbaggins liking it, & his Fly By Night mix as well. So, perhaps not an awesome mix, but stll looking forward to getting the DVD-A portion.👍🏻

Burning Shed's email newsletter from today includes the wonderful news that the King Crimson boxsets that have long been out of print, are now available again! I'm holding out for a bit on the ones I don't have yet to see if importCDs will get them too, so I can order them without paying a small fortune for overseas shipping, but I don't see them listed there yet (or on Amazon).

Here's the link to The Road To Red:
https://burningshed.com/King_Crimson_The_Road_To_Red_Limited_edition_box_set
...and you can also find Starless, On (And Off) The Road, Thrak, Sailors' Tales, Larks' Tongues In Aspic, etc.

These aren't technically discounted (though much less expensive than they've been going for on the secondhand market), so I don't know if this is the appropriate thread for this post, but I couldn't find a better one -- please let me know if there is.
Really good prices for U.S. folks at importCDs on previously out-of-print King Crimson boxes:

$133.79:

https://www.importcds.com/heaven-and-earth/633367199928...couldn't find the THRAK box there, but you can probably find it at a decent price on Amazon or eBay, shipped from England.

Thanks for the links.
Doggone, I'm out $100 now for Larks Tongues to complete my set.
I'd been hoping for these to show up on importCDs, it's also on Amazone but saved a few bucks.

Right you are on THRAK, on Amazon for $112.83, less than I bought it for in 2020.
