$120.00 for 4 surround discs and extra discs (stereo) ain't too bad, if that is the price I would pay.
It's getting more affordable for me.
Thanx

More news on the box set of my first six albums 'Premonitions'... It will include many special Armando Gallo photos from those early years, and the incredibly beautiful cover painting is by Roger Dean.

Includes the comment:
His Charisma albums Please Don’t Touch and Spectral Mornings are to be re-released separately, along with Wilson remixes, next year.
Really sad to hear that the tapes are lost for VOTA. That's the one...
I'd really like to hear the 24/96 master of the stereo mix though.
A few good things on the PDT album. Guess I wouldn't mind hearing a 5.1 mix of some of that. But VOTA is the one...
No more interested in upmixes than mp3's (or any other form of putting more distance between myself and the music).
If the only way to get a 24/96 copy of the stereo master for VOTA is a box with those later albums... no thanks then.
Man... Hate hearing news like that! The possibility for a surround mix and proper treatment finally comes to be and... tapes are gone.
Good news for anyone interested predominantly in the surround sound remixes of the Steve Hackett albums “Please Don’t Touch” and “Spectral Mornings”, and not so much in purchasing the complete 14 disc Premonitions box set.
The set covers all 6 of Steve’s albums for Charisma and various live recordings, but Universal Music Group have announced that they will also release stand alone expanded editions of these 2 albums later on, including my new mixes. They were the only ones that the master tapes could be located for to facilitate remixing into surround, but for what it’s worth in my humble opinion they also happen to be Steve’s finest albums of this era, both magnificently layered and strange-beautiful records that sound terrific in 5.1.
The Premonitions box set is released on 16th October. No confirmed release date for the stand alone editions at present, other than some time in 2016.
it: You've mentioned Premonitions. Is there a reason why Cured and Highly Strung have not been remixed?
Steve: Yes, because we could not find the multitracks for that. Those albums were released by Charisma and they had the multitracks, they may have lost them. Probably it happened when they were moved from Charisma to Virgin, then to EMI, now Universal. The multitracks have not surfaced yet. That's the way the cookie crumbles, but some have been remixed.
Ahhhh! Killing me with all these releases...especially those that get a bit pricey....not saying it's not worth it...just a lot of money....hard for me to not want this...
I agree it's a pricey set... I'm waiting for the individual releases of the 2 albums with SW surround mixes.
