You'd think Genesis Blu Rays would be easy to find stateside; this has not been my experience.
That is probably because Atlantic/Rhino still have the exclusive license to these recordings in North America, whereas the only Genesis Blu-Ray so far to hit the market ("Selling England by the Pound") has been released by Virgin (under UMG) in Europe.
^^^screen format 4:3
It was shot for TV so the original aspect ratio is 4:3. If they made it 16:9 they'd have to zoom in on the 4:3 negative and you'd lose 20 or 30 percent of the picture information at the top and bottom in the process. Hopefully it's a nice fresh transfer of the original negative and not a beat up print, or (god forbid) an upscale of the SD DVD transfer.

Widescreen or "go out and mow the lawn". Has always been my philosophy.

My philosophy is present it in its original format.
Otherwise you're cropping the picture.

My good man, that goes without saying. You Kiwis still shoot video with 4:3 VHS cameras???
I can't imagine anybody would be doing that these days. I would think everything should be shot with
16:9 or even wider.
I was just echoing CC's bah humbug about 4:3 in general.

No no no... :howlBetamax... its much better....
Oh yeah and we live in Grass Huts...

4:3 was just a 50+ years phase to get through. In 1981 we were still amazed by VHS, Beta or Laserdisc delivering home video at all.
Glad to be on the other side of that.

Another one of my rare serious posts:
We've learned these BluRays are from the original DSD sessions. So its native SACD(Direct Stream Digital) converted to DTS-Master Audio....
I already own the UK Boxes which are native SACD AND DTS as an additional option...
Can anybody give me a reason why I need to buy these?

Because they are more expensive than the SACD/DVD sets were and they have less (no) extras
Seriously, I'm the same as you, I can't see a reason to be interested in these blu rays.
