I was charged $29.98...I don't pay enough attention but I suspect it's not the first time Amazon lowered the price immediately after shipping pre-orders...

Big surprise on this is how good the live French TV tracks sound. Studio quality stuff, which also speaks to how good Petty was in a live performance too.

I've only played it once, and even then I didn't get to the last few songs, but the fidelity is great. I started out playing the 5.1, but didn't really hear anything coming out of the rears so I switched to Atmos. That was during the first song (One Story Town) so I don't know if I was just impatient or what. The Atmos definitely had stuff coming out of the rears in my 5.1 setup though.
 
The French TV thing isn't quite that. Everything marked French TV was recorded May 4th, '82 at the Record Plant in Los Angeles. It was for a French TV show, but same location and summer that almost all of it was done at. They did a bunch of songs that day, so French TV I think mostly means a more relaxed atmosphere where Iovine wasn't yelling at Lynch. 😀 Fantastic harmony from him on Stories We Could Tell!

Hey Dunc, was this the inspiration for your disc collection? 🤔

Unbelievable…just got in my Tom Petty Long After Dark set from Amazon and the Blu-Ray audio disc is missing!! Getting a replacement sent.
Just now looking over mine; at first glance I thought I had a blank-fill on the Blu-ray also, but looked harder and Finding Out it was just buried deep into the pocket. :)

That's w hat Amazon did with my order.
 
I of course, pre-ordered, but it's weird that Long After Dark is the first archival Petty release in surround. Tom himself wasn't too fond of it, and though I like the record, something like Damn the Torpedoes or Full Moon Fever would've been more obvious choices.
Several of his albums have been released in surround. Most while he was still alive.

There is a 5.1 blueray of Damn the Torpedoes
 
I"ve never added anything to discogs. Wouldn't know how to do it....
I've done it before. It is pretty easy. But, some of the mods on that site are some uppity know-it-alls who get off on talking down to people. This incident was a few years ago, so not sure if they are still like that, but I questioned why anyone would provide info on there when they treat people like idiots.
