Elton John "Madman Across The Water" 50th Anniversary Box Set (3 CDs & 5.1 Blu-Ray)

[ar surround]

Maybe, they’ll be a hidden Easter Egg on the BD that includes the Dolby Atmos tracks. One can wish!

The announcement date came right between Easter and Orthodox Easter, so wouldn't that be grand!

Rick Beato just did a new video for "Tiny Dancer".

I just watched it. I have major respect for Rick, his song dissecting makes me enjoy songs more. It'd be cool if he gave a shout out to Dolby Atmos.

(crosspost) down to $54.99 at Amazon, so a pretty great price if anyone is interested.

Thanks for that. I actually had it on order with Bull Moose where I got it for $40 because I had enough loyalty points. But I think I'll cancel the Moose order and save the points for a later date.

A bit off-topic, but I recommend the add-on (on Chrome) called Keepa, for Amazon price history, once installed it gets embedded on the item page, for instance:

Oh, what the heck: pre~ordered ...... even though I just purchased an SACD 5.1 back~up copy from ImportCD for $8 ....... SUPPORT THE CAUSE and UMG/Elton will continue their anniversary release program until our overstuffed shelves contain ALL of Mr. John's Johnny Be Goods!

Why, Thank you Ralphie!

Thanks for the heads up! I went ahead and bit the bullet at that price.

I'm confused about this content. What exactly does it mean, and does it translate to something that's never been released in 5.1?

i don't think it's anything new/unique, the original recording with Mick Ronson was a bonus in 5.1 on the SACD of Tumbleweed Connection

I think that's referring to the title track, and its alternate version. I'm not sure about 5.1, but I know the stereo mix of the alternate version was released as a bonus track on Tumbleweed.

The Bluray doesn’t have the album in 2.0 HiRez, 5.1 only?

In the unboxing video, at around 7:20, there is a "Hi-Res Stereo" listed on the bluray disc. (It's less blurry, at least for me, if you look at the video on the youtube site directly)

My perception is that applies to the video material only.
There is no track listing for 2.0 audio versions, only 5.1.
I guess we'll find out for sure Friday.

That was my interpretation too.
Either way, despite being a huge Elton fan, I cancelled my Amazon Canada pre-order.
Have way too many sets like this that never get played

After re-watching I see what you mean. I think you are right about this.
