OK, so I just purchased this, and I'm bummed there might a mastering error lurking.

Is there a quick way to check which disk I have? I tracked it down to this version:
Opeth – Pale Communion (2014, CD)
with Matrix / Runout (Blu-ray Variant 2): [logo] S1 1686175735BD/1 V01 GPD

But it can't tell from the number whether that's a faulty or "corrected" disk.

EDIT: Further googling tells me it's probably the faulty disk. I tried going to
https://redemptions.warnermusic.com/opeth-blu-ray
to get a replacement but it claimed my code was not valid, despite this being a new disk.

Any suggestions?

I have the updated version, if you look on the back of the blu ray, around the inner ring, after a load of letters and numbers I have V02, if you have V01 it is definitely the faulty disc
 
I was reading the Poll thread and just found out about this issue. I purchased the disc from Amazon / Rarewave in September 2020. After checking I found I had the V01 version and that the redemption link while still active, rejected my code. I've contacted Roadrunner thought their link. Doubt anything will happen.

Is there a simple way to correct a FLAC from the original? I have Audacity and can rip the blu-ray. Don't really need a new disc if I can listen to the corrected version, by another means. This would be great for the '75 quad of Free Hand.
 
So I apparently either got a replacement disc or just waited long enough to buy, but I have the one with "V2" in the matrix code, or whatever it's called. To fix this disc, is it just a matter of inverting the phase on the LFE channel?
 
Hi, I recently bought this album curious about the 5.1 mix. Only then I found out about the erroneous variant. Could anyone help with identifying the BD numbers if my disk is corrected or not?
From this thread I presume that I have the erroneous one (according to the "V01" number). However, after a brief listen, I cannot say there's something wrong. I work with spatial audio, but mostly with classical music; maybe I am too inexperienced in surround progressive death metal to notice the issues...
I have purchased from Discogs I think this version: https://www.discogs.com/release/6029841-Opeth-Pale-Communion
My BD numbers are: S1 1686175735BD/1 V01 GPD, IFPI L018, IFPI 052L

Also - do you know where could I purchase the corrected version? Is there any Discogs or Amazon reseller from whom you've recently ordered this particular album and have received the corrected version?
