ABC - The Lexicon Of Love (Steven Wilson 5.1 & Dolby Atmos remixes coming in August 2023; SDE Blu-Ray #12)

Absolutely LOVE the album but hate the inclusion of VINYL and could we ever hope for a stand alone PURE Audio BD~A.

I'd also wait for jpc.de to list it. With VAT removed and minimal s/h charges they usually have the BEST deals! And they ship DHL.....

Dear Sweet Baby Jesus…let us buy the blu-ray with no vinyl

 

[Jeffrey Michael]

I only need one optical disc and it includes a better version, a BD. So, I welcome the Vinyl LP’s over the Compact Discs.

doesn't look like there's gonna be a standalone Blu-ray or Blu-ray + CD package?

from zooming in and squinting, it appears the Blu-ray will have Steven Wilson Atmos, 5.1 & Stereo mixes plus Instrumental mixes.

BOOOOOOOOO! If the CDs are mastered properly without compression [like the recent FUSE RBCD remaster] I'll take the RBCDs any day! And with Steve Wilson's involvement ..... and if done properly ..... NO CONTEST!

That’s because you have Digititis.

not 100% sure but i don't think there's any CDs for this one unfortunately, Ralphie?

It's because Perp I just spent a veritable fortune on a SOTA digital front end .......No digititis ....and NO ticks, pops nor SWISHES which I consider an affront to my delicate

Besides, TICKS cause LYME'S disease!

Hopefully, Adam, they'll reneg and include a digital option. I really want this album badly but have since retired my Turntable....

 

[rtbluray]

A Blu-Ray/Vinyl package (while not ideal) is still better than no Blu-Ray at all
If there ends up being a CD/Blu-Ray set then that's what I will buy.
If the Vinyl/Blu-Ray package is it, then that's what it will be for me then.

The likelihood of me buying this has gone from "absolutely" to "not a chance in hell"

Look, there are Vinyl lovers and Digital/ multichannel lovers! For goodness sake don’t deny the digital lovers the opportunity in owning their own copy of this classic album. Steven Wilson knows this and should make it known what consumers will like…wow, an instrumental mix of this album will be awesome! Here’s hoping some common sense

Steven himself is a vinyl guy, in addition to being a surround/immersive mixer/enjoyer. I imagine he would/will actually be quite happy with this 4 LP/Blu-ray configuration. Nevertheless, he's usually very good about getting his own music out there in as many different formats and packages as possible, though I doubt he has much influence over the band or label in how they decide to release his remixes.

Perhaps we should direct positive encouragement for a digital-only physical release toward the band/band members on social media? If their fans are saying they want it, they might just lobby the label to make it happen.

Where's the digital only release? They could still package the digital discs within a 12" box!

 

[TuliaNonTroppo]

If this is the only way to purchase it, I will purchase it. But it annoys me as well. Four LPs?! That is eight sides of quality control scariness that I don’t want to deal with. They won’t get played if everything that is on the LPs is also on the Blu-ray disc. That makes me buying a Blu-day disc for $121 or so…. Now that I have thought through this, I am not so sure I will purchase it.

 

[Jeffrey Michael]

I know it may be a pain in the ass for some but you could always sell off the vinyl and keep the BD.

 

[bluelightning]

What a waste (for some of us!)

It pretty much guarantees that many won't be getting it unless there is a separate CD/bluray release.
