Good news & bad news…would love to have it, but about $50 with shipping across the pond…

Tin Lizzy getting it's first airing

Initial impressions are it's better than his first mixing attempt.

Hope so, that was not good at all.

Good news & bad news…would love to have it, but about $50 with shipping across the pond…

A couple of weeks ago I posted in the SDE commentary asking how one gets a discount code for SDE products as the ordering page has a slot for that. Another poster was complaining about the high cost of shipping over seas or through Europe. The comment itself is still awaiting approval.

I can't help wondering what happened with Pet Shop Boys' "Nonetheless", since it doesn't seem to be part of the SDE Surround Series, while I reckon it should qualify, considering it's a Blu-ray audio disc with a Dolby Atmos mix, in "High Fidelty Pure Audio" BD packaing, sold via the SDE Shop. What gives?

Not an exclusive title. No number, no SDE-branded slipcase.

now that we're 28 (or is it 27 & 1/2..? ) titles into SDE's wondrous Surround Series of exclusive Blu-ray's, i thought it might be fun to recap/take stock of what they've released so far

They look so nice all rounded up together! I'm curious if you have any favorites in the series so far.

My favorite would have to be Tears For Fears - The Hurting with Orbital, Paul Young, Ultravox and Trevor Horn rounding out my top five in no particular order. The Trevor Horn disc was the big surprise for me. I love the interpretations and the mix. I haven't gotten my Bronski Beat disc yet but that was one of my favorite albums of 1984 so that could jump into my top five. Same with the upcoming Thompson Twins and Tears For Fears discs.
