That's correct.

Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
The initial issue with a 5.1 surround mix was a CD/DVD-V combo in sleeves in a book format under the Lava (Atlantic) label..
The actual DVD-A came out later with 3 bonus tracks added: Revenant, Mother & Child Divided and Half-Light under the DTS Entertainment label
CD/DVD-V = LAVA 93827 UPC 0 75679 38272 6
DVD-A = 69286-01130-9-1 UPC 6 9286-01130-9

Interesting... I thought I had the one on the right, but it's not with me in this country so no way of checking right now. I suppose it's no big deal. This was in the day of buying these things on eBay...

Awesome. I've always wanted this and the old DVD-A stuff on eBay was usually cost prohibitive. At least this way, paying out the nose gives me a lot of extra content. In terms of added content, this looks like a better deal than the In Absentia box.
I'm looking forward to this one arriving. I know the mix is the same as the DVD-A I have, but so was the In Absentia deluxe edition. The sound on the blu-ray to me was much better, as was on screen presentation for each song. The documentary on top of those made IA a great release. Since this follows the same formula and adds a bio of the band, its a can't miss for me.

...actually, there are four bonus tracks on this release. Shesmovedon is a "hidden" track that you can get to, I think, by using the up arrow on the remote control to highlight the heart.
The blu-ray for IA features the same mix, but corrected phasing. It plainly sounds better than the DVD-A.

"We will try to get it for you" is not too encouraging!
Yes the Shesmovedon track was on the DVD-A as a “hidden” track as opposed to bonus tracks. Played after a brief silence separating it from the album. Thinking the CD did that too.
Isn’t this for the LFE channel only? Playing the disc without the subwoofer channel should result with no phase problem. Is this correct?
IIRC, the center was out of phase, causing the most anemia. LFE shifted a bit does not improve sound, to my ears, on any systems.
I'd have to watch my own IA Deluxe review again to remember exactly what I concluded about it all.
But, bottom line, blu-ray sounds better than the DVD-A.
I don’t use a subwoofer or center channel but you have me curious now on acquiring the BD when/if I do add back a subwoofer and possibly a center channel again in the future.
If your system folds center information into the L/R channels, playing a version with a corrected center should help. Either the BD, or corrected FLACs.
Whenever and however you get a chance to hear IA in all its intended fullness, enjoy!
I just looked at The Bull Moose site, says
"sorry this is no longer available".
Now I am on the Burning Shed site for Pre Order. Will Pre Order Deadwing.
Anything else you would recommend?

In The Court Of The Crimson King - King Crimson at 50 DVD/Blu Ray Documentary
I likely will only watch once, but is is cool? Is the live music cool that I can rip? Is it on any streaming, Netflix, etc?
