Yikes! Manufacturing really screwed you on that one, eh? To keep customers like me mollified in future situations like this, it might be prudent to send out an alert email when stock arrives so we can set our expectations accordingly.
That’s my next investment, the new Quadio bundle along with the Joni box set.
Correct. Who are we to argue with Peter Saville's design concepts.
For those of us that used to flip albums over vertically rather than horizontally!
It’s attention to details like these that get me. Huge thumbs up err… down whatever. Great job. My discs are on their way as we speak. Cannot wait.
I agree. Make It Big in Atmos is the real deal. "Wake Me Up Before You GoGo" and "Freedom" are kinda thin and brittle, and drenched in layers of reverb, exactly like the original versions. But, otherwise, the rest of the album opens up and I think it is a sonic delight. Plus, the boatload of bonus tracks is the icing on the cake. Fantastic, at least musically, is not too, IMO. The Atmos mix is great, but the songwriting is not on the same level as Make It Big. It's an album that clearly suffers from the dreaded "sophomore jinx" and surely marked the beginning of the end for the duo. I consider Make It Big to be definitive and an excellent addition to my library. I can't say the same for Fantastic.
I thought Fantastic was the debut and Make It Big the sophomore effort; if so, no jinx there – it's a wonderful pop/rock ride!
