I listened to "Life is a Carnival" last night in Atmos on my Apple Music ATV4K (only song out so far that I saw), but as a lot of that stuff in Atmos, it wasn't blowin' my socks off, sounded good I guess, but that's awful pricey ($150) for a single surround title. :unsure: Priorities tell me, to go order that Santana III 7" SACD first and contemplate this one some more.
 
My favourite Band album but $149.66 US! ($177.99 CAD on Amazon.ca)! Why can't we just get the Blu-ray???
In a way this makes it easier for me.
They are so far out of my financial comfort range they don’t make it to the radar screen.
And that’s a shame because these Band BDs are good, heard The Band in 5.1 at a friends place, really good
 
I read that Robbie Robertson told Bob Clearmountain to remix the tracks from the original multitracks as if starting from scratch. He told Bob not to even listen to the original mixes. Robbie wants it to sound like it is being mixed for the first time, so the sound could be radically different than what the songs sound like on previously issued versions of the album. What a refreshing way to do a re-issue.
 
I would spend this sort of money on a surround set, but one surround album and a bunch of other stuff? Not so much. I think putting Atmos blu rays and vinyls in same set is a bit of a con. They know they are 2 different audiences, at least in my experience.
Two different sets would be more appropriate. If the vinyl is from a digital source and limited or brickwalled there is no point in including it in this set. The original vinyl would be better and cheaper. We fans likely already have that anyway. I already have the original LP, a CD release and the MFSL CD release. All I want is the blu-ray!
