Caravan: In the land of grey and pink - Pre order!

[MyCuff]

Saw this on the Rush Moving Pictures thread.
-------------------------------------------
So far it's only on Amazon UK:
h$$p://www.amazon.co.uk/Land-Grey-Pi...2130419&sr=8-4

Frankly, I'd be surprised if I saw a domestic USA listing for it and Amazon USA import price will probably be a lot higher. £12.99 *less* VAT (plus shipping) ain't too bad for a 3 disc set.....

I pre-ordered with the price guarantee - came to £13.91
-----------------------------------------------------
I just ordered and it was same price to San Diego.

What's annoying with Amazon is the complete lack of details. Why a 3 disc set i wonder?

[rusinurbe]

Steven Wilson said he remixed a whole heap of outtakess so maybe theer is a lot of stuff.
I see on Caravans web site they state that there is also a long lost video on the DVD.

The details are not even on Caravan's website yet but I suspect that more will be known soon. I suspect the 3 dsics could be something like:
1) the album
2) outtakes, b-sides, rarities etc
3) the dvd

or perhaps a disc with the original album mix and one with a new mix and the outtakes plus the dvd.

I already preordered. Steve Wilsons involvement is enough assurance for me.

[timbre4]

I'm on board now too!

[neil wilkes]

Why is this in the DVD-A section though, as DVD-A it is not......

[MyCuff]

Well shoot Neil. I thought "Steven Wilson" meant hi-Rez. Is it only DTS? Is it blu-Ray?

Now available to pre-order on amazon.com



Not much info available yet. Gonna hold off on a pre-order until I see more. I'll still end up getting it in all likelyhood.

[jefe1]

The Caravan website lists songs on the three cds as does Amazon and also mentions a 5.1 mix being done. They are not sure if the dvd is included or will be separate. Looks like lots of alternate takes and BBC live versions.
Even if only a DTS version is available I'l still get it, DTS can still sound good. I was reminded of that when I listened to the first Porcupine Tree live dvd this weekend.

Here is the latest info from the Caravan website. Disc 3 is a DVD. It just doesn't say what the 5.1 mix is available as.

$36 on Amazon.com seems a bit high if it's 14 pounds in the UK? May have to order it across the pond...

[rtbluray]

Why is this in the DVD-A section though, as DVD-A it is not......

But the tracklisting looks so good, and it was mixed by Steven Wilson, so maybe I'll get it depending on the price...

[John Svensson]

It is a certain Buy for me, love the album.....I'd even be very pleased with a 96/24 DTS mix. John

[elroy]

I owned Cunning Stunts and Blind Dog at St. Dunstan's on vinyl way back when and enjoyed them very much. For no specific reason, I never got any Caravan on the "popular CD format" (as Letterman used to call it) when I was transitioning so I haven't heard them in at least 25 years. Looking forward to this one.

[jefe1]

Order it on the Amazon Uk site. its a lot cheaper comes to around $22 or 13.91 pounds.

[kap'n krunch]

I've never even heard this group, so I'm going by blind faith, just pre ordered it...hope it's really worth it ..if not I can always sell it!!! Cheers!

[oxforddickie]

Golf Girl's a classic.... certainly hope you do enjoy it



OD

[inquadwetrust]

My order has shipped from Amazon - could be here on Saturday, a lovely start to the bank holiday weekend.

As OD says, Golf Girl is pure pop perfection...

[jefe1]

Lucky you, I preordered and am waiting for my copy.No shipping date yet. Guess we'll find out soon if it includes a dvd audio or not.

[rusinurbe]

I received a shipping notice today looking forward to this

[jefe1]

The good news, I got a shipping notice today.
Bad news, it won't arrive until June 21

[oxforddickie]

WHAT!!!! Being delivered by snail then LOL

OD

[neil wilkes]

I hope there is a DTS stream on this, but as it's Universal I would not hold my breath.....

[doppelbock]

mine is on the way too, hopefully will arrive shortly after I'm back from vacation (and a Blackfield show!). Glad I pre-ordered with the price guarantee - the price did indeed go down since I placed my order and I was informed that I've now saved an addition 6p....yahoo, I'm going on a spending spree with that!
