Jethro Tull - 'Stormwatch 40th Anniversary Force 10 Edition'

[Simon M]

Buggers have put the buy DVD option back on....wtf.....grr
Still no explanation e-mail from Amazon...he says impatiently..

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stormwatch...ro+tull+box+set&qid=1571377398&s=music&sr=1-1
I bet quite a few unsuspecting folk are buying the expensive option.
Completely dishonest by Amazon.

Is it because it's a third party seller not actually Amazon?

Yes you are correct, even so, why give the DVD option the correct description.....All very Strange.

Yesterday I clicked on the "Report incorrect product information" button on the DVD Audio listing, to say that it was wrongly described as a DVD Audio, but they haven't changed it

Don't get too excited, that's a bar towel, this is a beer mat: View attachment 43583

Hey guys, I know the diff, I just wanted to call the gift "bitter" lol.

To be fair the beer mats were probably the first thing they ordered while organising this particular piss-up in a brewery, shame they forgot the music...

 

[Marplot]

and my new order with ImportCDs has shipped. Bummer on the extra few bones over Amazon.UK, but making sure I get one based on the current fiasco is worth it to me.

I don't think you'll be polishing them with a bit of cardboard! they said beer mat not a bar towel.

Seems more likely to be one of those mats that are laid on the bar. Usually have a design on top and a rubberized bottom.

Well I ordered one from Amazon.de, cost an extra few quid, but it has now been dispatched and should arrive on Sunday. I wouldn't normally bother, but this is Tull and probably my 'most looked forward to' release this year, so it had to be done, I just can't wait a bloody month!

I bought mine today at my local record store[$65 no tax] and will be listening to it soon.........got as far as Dark Ages in the 5.1 mix.So far so good.

I had a cyber 'chat' with customer service rep Jebas @ AmazonUK [GREAT service, BTW] and was assured Stormwatch will be delivered between Nov. 25~29th ..... which is really OK with me but the rep did assist me in replacing a 3D blu ray disc which somehow was lost in shipment ........at NO additional charge!

Mine showed up yesterday morning.

I can't get Kelpie out of my head!

Overall, it is one of the finest so far of these deluxe editions, and is an absolute bounty for fans, to whom I unreservedly recommend this.

Should of went with Amazon....went with Burning Shed this time. Hopefully the discs will be sent to them and "bonus" they send will make it up.
Give us a review of the mix and the bonus 5.1 stuff, Marpow.

Sorry, but... HUH?????

 

[Bender]

Sorry, but... HUH?????

just the sad state that the smaller merchants, in this case, even Burning Shed, is supplied after Amazon.

 

[marpow]

I assumed wrong that the second DVD was video but it is also a DVD Audio Only in 5.1, 13 associated recordings in 5.1 and 15 associated recordings in 24/96 stereo and 5 original mixes in 24/96 stereo.
I listened to the DVD #1 2019 SW 5.1 DTS remix, quite good, I like the 1980? Jethro Tull band.
Lots of pictures and liner notes, equal to the previous JT anniversary releases.

Not quite. In this case, it's the UK and Irish retailers of all stripes—including Amazon.co.uk—who aren't receiving stock. Amazon.com is unaffected.

 

[halbroome]

While we wait, there's this to watch -- the first earth-space duet!

I just finished ripping the discs for Stormwatch using DVD Audio Extractor for the two DVD's and Windows Media for the CD rips to FLAC. What a pain in the fuckin ass. So many tags, etc but all came out perfect just have to hang in there and work.
