I'm confused...Amazon US lists the 50th anniversary set. But I think the listing is wrong. $25.64 for the 2CD/DVD with 5.1 edition?? That seems way too cheap....what gives? Is it a new mix?

It's not a new mix.
It's the same mix as featured on the 2006 SACD release, a Quadraphonic mix converted to 5.1 surround (with very faint center and LFE channel feeds)
Why does this press release call it new then?
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Moody Blues' Days Of Future Passed will be celebrated with an expanded 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition to be released November 17 by UMe. The deluxe 2CD/DVD and digital audio edition features the album's newly restored original 1967 stereo mix, which makes its CD debut here. Due to a damaged master tape of the original mix, the album was remixed in stereo in 1972; this later mix has been used for the album's subsequent CD reissues. Today's technology has allowed for the original stereo master to be repaired, and the new 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition pairs that original album mix with the 1972 stereo mix. The commemorative set also features nine BBC Radio session performances, as well as a DVD with a new 5.1 surround sound mix derived from the album's original 1972 Quad mix
"Derived from the album's original 1972 Quad mix" means it's not a new mix.
It's still the same Quadraphonic mix, just with very faint center and LFE feeds as on the 2006 SACD release.
Seems to me I only have the DTS CD...so, is this particular mix better than the DTS CD?
