Fab news! 5 albums in one shot!
2023 is turning out to be quite a year for Multichannel releases.

Could this be one of the projects Stephen W. Tayler, esq. was hinting about?

 

[R E Faust]

Wow..and a really reasonable price too...

I believe so – once @Stephen W Tayler confirms, I'll adjust the thread title

 

[fredblue]

The jpc link shows only CD's, no blurays?

Only a listing fault

Yeah, I noticed, but the 27CDs + 5BDs info seems more convincing as of now

 

[IMachine]

Immediately ordered!

nothing on amazon yet, but found the EAN: 0602445676927

As already mentioned, this is no doubt the work of @Stephen W Tayler and Mark Powell.

Definitely one of the coolest things to come about this year! I'm so in!

 

[César]

And at a fair price. As soon as the mixer is confirmed, I'm in!

 

[beerking]

If this ain't Stephen W Taylers work, I'll get the hump!!

 

[GOS]

This will be amazing.

Regarding the albums that get a 5.1 mix, interesting what they are. Obviously, we get Camel's killer first few...

Camel 1973
Mirage 1974
Snow Goose 1975
Moonmadness 1976

Then we skip Rain Dances 1977, Breathless 1978, I Can See Your House From Here 1979

Yet, we get Nude from 1981 in surround.

Regardless of the strategy/reasons....getting those first 4 is what I care about. I haven't heard any of the later stuff from Camel.

This sounds great, I'll be waiting for Amazon also.
