My Amazon USA order was cancelled and they say it will no longer be available. Now it is only available from third party vendors at elevated pricing.
It went off sale for a some time at amazon UK too. It did eventually come back though.

I’m just bummed the powers that be made this in such limited quantities that it was literally OOP the month it was released depriving me and plenty of other surround enthusiasts. Major bummer!I voted 10. The best surround release of 2020? Of course I have not heard all of them but my personal best of 2020? I think? I love everything about this release from packaging, liner notes, lyrics, photos, on screen menu and box.
I listened to the 5.1 disc from my Sony UBP-X800M2. I listened to the DTS 24/96 selection.
I loved hearing the first track as an instrumental, it really got me in the groove of sitting in and listening to the music without worrying about words.
The Steven Wilson mix was sublime, I think of others he has done and this is certainly one of his crowning achievements.
The surround pans around very fun and entertaining, the center speaker used in perfect SW style.
Obviously what is the #1 reason for loving this release is that it is great music from Ultravox, whom I never listened to back in the day. Really a breath of fresh air in the 2020 surround release catalog.
It would be cool to go back to 1980 and be a member of the live audience, I'm sure lots of styles and hair.
FYI: I got dumped by Amazon and Burning Shed came right in and fulfilled my order within 9 days, impressive.
Maybe write the label and request a repressing?I’m just bummed the powers that be made this in such limited quantities that it was literally OOP the month it was released depriving me and plenty of other surround enthusiasts. Major bummer!
"9" from Baggy in Surround
Sordid details here:
So mine just arrived today.....have a question. On the back of the box, it lists 3 surround options: 24/96 5.1 Surround, DTS 24/96 5.1 Surround, and Dolby AC3 5.1 surround. Was there (is there?) supposed to be an MLP 5.1 mix on the DVD? My DVD only has the DTS and AC3 mixes.
There was some discussion about this back when the box was first released. My guess is that it was an oversight by whoever typed up that information for the back cover, but who knows? Maybe there were plans to issue this as a genuine DVD-A that were later scrapped, for one reason or another. As far as I'm aware, Opus Productions in the U.K. is the only authoring house that still does DVD-A.
