[Perp]

I'm sure there are some winos oops I mean winers on here...maybe some whiners as well.
Not made my mind up whether to buy it yet.

That damn spellcheck!!!

 

[Bill B]

Oops. Nothing to see here.

I went ahead and pre-ordered it from Amazon.

The link shows the different Amazon locations you can order it from. I tried doing a manual search and couldn't find it so the link helped a lot.

 

[5.1 4 Life]

Why would Steven Wilson want to creat a new 5.1 mix? He nailed his first 5.1 mix perfectly IMO. I’ll stick to the 2014 5.1 mix thank you at the price of the new box set. I already have a few box sets with LP’s included that have never been opened.

According to an interview about The Yes Album, Steven Wilson said that he can do a better surround mix of the album since he's got more speakers to play with (thanks to Dolby Atmos) and he's gotten more experience in remixing LPs for surround.

 

[CINERAMAX]

wooohooh! Bring it and the ELP's too

As of today, I don't see if at jpc or importCD.

I just ordered from Amazon. I would bet it drops below $99 at some point before release date. Always easy to cancel if you see an offer you can't refuse.

I always welcome a better mix of anything!

I am patiently waiting! YES!

Funnily enough, what SW is saying about this -- that he's revamping his TYA surround mix in light of 10 years since he did it last -- means it's at least possible to happen.

But in the case of his own work with Porcupine Tree, the recent box sets for In Absentia & Deadwing, 5.1 mix of the album was the one from 2003 done by Elliot Scheiner, not a new mix. I lost interest when I read that.

Perhaps that is going to be the similar case with the Yes album. Also, the way this market works, it frustrates people that recently purchased an edition with the 5.1 mix of an album only to find that in a few months there's going to be a new edition being released with the 5.1 mix and Atmos, on the other hand it helps those that missed out the first time around and get another chance to obtain the multichannel mixes.

In my case, I don't have an older version 5.1 mix. I'm very interested in the Atmos mix and I'll probably compare it to the 5.1 mix. Will the 5.1 mix be a newer one or the same 5.1 mix?

The same thing happens with video releases. In particular movies released on Blu-ray first then months later a UHD (4K) Blu-ray arrives of the same title. Of course those interested in buying have no idea if the 4K version will ever come out so they buy the Blu-ray first then have to double dip to get the 4K UHD Blu-ray version.

According to the SuperDeluxeEdition write-up, the 5.1 will be the same mix available in the 2014 CD/BD release. The quotes from SW do not indicate he created a new 5.1 mix, just that he used the old mix as a starting point for the new Atmos - and applied what he's learned in the last 10 years of surround mixing.

That's interesting. I don't know if it's the best scenario...using someone else's mix as a basis for your own Atmos mix, but maybe the older 5.1 mix is good enough.

The 5.1 version from 2014 was SW's, he's not 'using someone else's mix'...

 

[srbjab]

What he said... .

Oh! I got confused by reading a post above that said "the recent box sets for In Absentia & Deadwing, 5.1 mix of the album was the one from 2003 done by Elliot Scheiner, not a new mix."

NEVERMIND!

I remember having Bing Crosby’s Christmas album on 78s - a real ALBUM of discs. Still waiting on the Atmos release.
