I suppose everybody got the email deal alert from SDE, but Amazon USA has cut the price of the Fragments 5-CD box set that is the companion to this release by 80% to $27.76.

Wasn’t one of box set cds already released in the previously released Tell Tale Signs box set?
I want to say 1750, but I can’t recall exactly where I read that. Does that number ring a bell with anyone?Has Paul already said how many will be manufactured?
OK... that was apparently the number for Orbital. Sorry. While slightly annoyed I got it confused with Dylan, I take some solace that I at least remembered it from somewhere. I take my memory victories where I can.I want to say 1750, but I can’t recall exactly where I read that. Does that number ring a bell with anyone?
I think you will enjoy your new journey listening to Dylan, he must have the largest body of work that I know of. Many phases and styles, but it is always Dylan. I find him very relaxing and I go through phases, I just went through a Dylan phase a few weeks ago, then I got burned out but I know that a listening phase will come again, when and how, that I do not know.I have never really gotten Dylan. I understand the love for his music and lyrics that others have, but it was something that never personally grabbed me. In fairness, I never gave it a huge chance, so that’s on me.
With the SDE release, I wanted to dig a bit more and see if I could discover what I’ve missed... y’know, now that I’m older and allegedly wiser.
I’ve done the same with other artists and it’s usually expensive. (See: Grateful Dead)
With a love for MoFi SACDs, I just ordered what Music Direct had in stock... Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, Bob Dylan, Another Side of Bob Dylan, Desire, Oh Mercy, Love and Theft.
I momentarily had the notion that maybe I should wait, think it over and re-consider tomorrow just to be sure I was being a responsible adult when it came to music purchases. Then I remembered I’m not a responsible adult when it comes to music purchases. So to remain true to myself and not create inner turmoil, I clicked the final order button.
Thanks! I made another few other purchases this morning. I am even more excited now to hear the Time Out Of Mind in Atmos. I’ve mentioned before that it’s like discovering a “new” artist which is always fun.I think you will enjoy your new journey listening to Dylan, he must have the largest body of work that I know of.

BTW, I own all the Dylan MOFI's including the MONO versions. They are all good.
If it's the same mix as on Apple Music, it's not much to get excited about, but the music is good.Thanks! I made another few other purchases this morning.

Thanks for the offer... I appreciate that. I looked into Fragments when the price had dropped the other day to, I believe, the same price you paid it for. (Appears to be back up to $90 now.)If you don't stream on Apple Music and appreciate box sets, you can have my second sealed copy of Fragments for the $28 I paid for it for an immersion in the alternate takes and live versions I'm enjoying waiting for the blu ray.
Personally, I don't love stereo mo-fi sacds as much as I love the affordable multichannel Sony SACDs. YMMV.

I have kind of wondered if there’s a general consensus on whether the streaming version of an album is noticeably weaker than the physical version of the same mix. Is the compression for streaming making a difference to those with great ears. (Which is not exactly me.)If it's the same mix as on Apple Music, it's not much to get excited about, but the music is good.
This has nothing to do with compression, if there's next to nothing in the height speakers, it's the fault of he who mixed it. If you listen in 5.1, it will sound good, but I don't which is why I skipped this.I have kind of wondered if there’s a general consensus on whether the streaming version of an album is noticeably weaker than the physical version of the same mix.

Since this is a “new” album for me, I haven’t listened to the streaming version. I want my first experience to be the SDE version.
