You can drop the 'just about' there. A friend of mine, who is an even bigger fan than I, fell asleep during the first listening of Dave's last disc.

I agree that it is pretty much set in stone (pre-orders on Amazon now) which makes me believe WYWH will be pushed off yet again, if it was even planned at all.
For a band that perpetuates re-masters, box sets, anniversary editions and live tour DVD’s of tours featuring mostly old stuff, one would think a 5.1 SACD box set would be a natural. I just don't understand. Even Genesis managed to pull that one off.
look at the flack genesis have taken from their fan base remixing classic albums. Only thay had taken the commitmnet a long way by mixing everything before releaseing any of it. No going back unless you are Neil Young.
The same for the DSOTM SACD from PF split between the Guthrie and Parsons camps.

But Floyd did NOT remix the stereo version, as Genesis did.

Good points although IMO the guthrie VS parsons thing is a bit overblown. They are both great mixes.
Speaking of such riffs. I wonder why Steve Wilson did not get some flack for tweaking some of the older albums? Perhaps it is because not too many people were familier with Lightbulb Sun on down before the re-releases?
Steve Wilson seems to have had a history of remixing albums even in the early years, and generally they have been an improvement (Drum machine to live drums etc.). On te whole certainly with the snapper issues there has also been a load of 'bonus material' added to the key albums that have been improved as well to mitigate the fan base.
If you look at some of the crazy values that original PT albums and CD's sell for though it can be healthy when done well.

Time to blow the dust of this thread again.
Brain damage has this to say:
I wonder what the interview with Gilmour is ?

The Interview was in Mojo, in which he confirmed that the surround version would be released but it still needed 'some work'.
It was also just 'surround version' in the article and not SACD, though with Sony releasing thing everywhere but Europe, SACD would be the most obvious.

Trusting a blog is almost as reliable as overhearing a school yard conversation.
Anything Floydian has a fudge factor of 5-10 years. *Maybe* 2015
Won't hold my breath, but would be great if this is finally happening.
OK, I'm not gonna hold my breath either - except for making a bit of space on the shelf next to DSOTM
Certainly it's a good excuse to pull out the DVD-A of WYWH and listen to it again!

Yes, but.....
I mean, this is TYPED. And it's on a genuine Web Page. So it must be real.
