Genesis 1970-1975 Nov.10/11 2008

I suspect this has more to do with Genesis and Nick Davies than record companies EMI/Virgin (who have released music in both formats possibly depending on who pays for the work ) and Warner (steadfastly DVDA). They were the people who took the money from Sony thus stopping Warner releaseing these as DVDA.

Without a doubt I would have preferred DVDA but have an SACD set Luckily becuase I am i the UK the PAL issue does not affect me. I would however have preferred to listen to teh Hi rez Lamb with the slide shows than a SACD without !!

That is inconsistent; if we'd never been able to buy them in this configuration then I could understand it. Genesis & Nick Davies or EMI/Virgin put no such restrictions on the 1st two box sets so why just the third one?

Foul play I tell you! I got my UK SACD/DVD (PAL box) yesterday and I believe I'm going to crank it way up now.

cd-wow.us is selling individual Genesis SACD/DVD titles for Foxtrot, Trespass and Nursery Cryme for $19.99 each. What format are the DVDs in these sets?

Hmmm....I'd bet these are PAL DVDs in the pkgs

You're probably right. Any cd/SACD/DVD I got from them (Depeche Mode, Foo's In Your Honor (2nd disc is DVD-V) has been PAL.

I've got Sacd/dvd sets from the last bunch of reissues and they were NTSC dvd's from Hong Kong.

 

[timbre4]

But remember, this is Genesis 1970-1975 and allowing fans to buy SACD/NTSC DVDs for any reasonable sum of money ($400 Japan Box) seems to be a punishable offense.

Where can I order the SACD/PAL box set? Trying to get the best price.

Thanks

I got mine thru Amazon UK. Just checked, and the price has gone up a bit since February.

HURRY! HURRY!
(No pressure, right?) <G>

Page sez they only gots one in stock ... at the moment. Just be sure to check the book and make sure your player supporst PAL. You'd need to do a dollar conversion on their price. Keep in mind they automatically deduct the VAT* (included in their online price) but for whatever reason, it doesn't show until you get your email receipt if I remember right. If it helps, the price was about 75 whatevers and my total cost was about $109 ...

Wow...that was fast. Amazon.co.uk stock gone. Only one new box from the Marketplace. For those still looking, you will also have some luck on eBay.

Best,

Well....
They won't ship to my address in the States (?)
This was going to be my 50th b-day present to myself.
Any other suggestions for this set at this price?

Thanks for the info!

I gave up trying to find this SACD set at a price I am willing to pay after looking for a couple of weeks and have ordered the CD/DVD-V set. Once again I goofed in not ordering early when it was available at more reasonable prices. I am very complimentary of Warner's efforts with surround music, my only complaint has been the fact the company won't release SACD in the US. I know it is a business decision and I just accept it. Hopefully the DVD-V set is as good as I hope it will be, if so the savings compared to the SACD set will make it a good decision.

The 96/24 DTS is very satisfying.

Does anyone have the Japanese version of 1970-1975? I was wondering if the docs have Japanese subtitles and if they can be turned off. I'm thinking about going for this set. I was hoping to find the Hong Kong version of the NTSC dvds (with SACDs) but can't even seem to find a record of its existence.

 

[MNSACD]

I have the box set from HMV Japan with the SACD's and NTSC DVD's. Everything is in English. I ordered it at the end of December last year and it was shipped in about a week. I checked in mid-January and they were unavailable on the HMV site. I might have ordered the last one!

Well, I received my 1970-1975 set from Hong Kong today. It's the real deal -- SACD's and NTSC dvds. Woo-hoo! Now I've got alot of listening to do! I recommend Hong Kong Records to anyone who is still looking for this version of the set. Cost me $240 USD though.
