Does anyone know what format this one will be?

 

[JonUrban]

Neil has been speaking of this release for quite some time. I wonder what format it will be?

It looks like it's an import only release at the Amazon.com US web site.
Is there a US version?

This link has no mention of a 5.1 mix. I don't want to order a stereo version. Does anybody know if this is the right version?

 

[Kazaam]

Oh, please let it be for real this time around!!! I've enjoyed Tony Visconti's other surround mixes of Bowie's stuff. It's time to finally let the world hear what he was able to do with "Young Americans".

At this point, I'll even be happy with simply DTS. My only concern is that whatever is released be playable on DVD players sold for the USA/Canada market. So, hopefully, we get a US release, too. If not, then I hope the UK version uses NTSC and zero region coding.

Edit: Crap, that CD-Wow link says it's PAL and has region coding. Maybe they're wrong?

 

[neil wilkes]

I've got it on Pre-Order at Amazon too - and am also hoping that despite the obvious omission of anything about 5.1 in the details that it is in fact the seriously well overdue 5.1 mix.
Roll on Diamond Dogs, Ziggy (A decent mix this time and not the dreadful mess on the SACD), Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane, Scary Monsters, Low, Heroes, Lodger, hell - the complete catalogue should be done.

 

[ClarkNovak]

I note that the Amazon listing now says the DVD is PAL, but with Region 0 coding. That shouldn't affect the audio playback though, just the video... right? (he asked, hopefully)...

This is going to be awesome.
Shame they didn't also include "Footstompin'" from the Dick Cavett show as well, but to be honest I am just very happy it is finally coming out at last!
Plus. of course, the inclusion of the live material is a bonus anyway.....

 

[Audi A3]

Is it DVD-A, DD or DTS 5.1 mix?

 

[neil wilkes]

It's DTS 96/24 on DVD-Video.
I guess this also means either LPCM stereo or Dobly Dirgital 5.1 as well.
I will post back as soon as my copy arrives (hopefully in 3 weeks time)

 

[stormchaser]

Anyone have any idea if any of these have the surround mix?

Hmm....my link to cduniverse's search link didn't work once posted here. Anyway, cduniverse has numerous editions of this reissue. If anyone can definitely let me know which one I should be buying, I'd appreciate it.

I have a copy in the post from Play !!!


More news soon

 

[stormchaser]

As soon as Roundhouse tells us that CDwow is in FACT selling the surround edition of this, I'll jump on board.

Ill confirm that.
I had a quick listen last night to the disc, would liek to have cranked it up a bit but kids were in bed !!!!

The Mix is a nice not agressive but makes good use of the rear speakers.

DTS 5.1 sound is not to shabby, have not tried the DD 5.1 and PCM 2.0 tracks.

I just received mine and can confirm that the CDwow version is in fact the surround edition.

One caveat--it is in PAL format (no problem for me as my Pioneer DV-563A plays everything without a hitch)!

BTW.................The mix is superb!
