It'll be the CD Deluxe for me. The LP is just too much damn money!

It will cost more money when folks buy the stuff then turn around and put them on eBay and other sites selling for mega bux more.

Super deluxe CD set is now available to pre order on Amazone UK. Just ordered mine. They're listing it at £64.99 but if the price drops they charge you the lower price.

I hear it went up last night at just over a tenner cheaper.

Yes it did, yesterday it was listed as 54.99, should have pre-ordered it then but I hoped it might actually go down! Maybe it will..

Oh, I am so glad to hear the album's getting remastered. Prince's 80s output has SUUUUUCKED sound-wise on CD. I'm hopeful that any work they eventually do on "Sign 'O' The Times" (my favorite) will open up the soundscape in new ways I haven't been able to hear before.

.

Anyone here a fan of XTC and/or Yes? If so, have you gotten the Steven Wilson remix sets of any of their albums? HOLY CRAP, are they spectacular. Wilson has a magician's touch with bringing out the best, clearest sound from every multi-track. He's a prolific musician himself, and I think that helps him with balancing the instrumentation and vocals.

.

Also, whoever did the Japanese remasters of Queen's discography should get a Nobel prizel. Even in my car stereo, with all the road noise, the songs sound brighter and more expansive than they ever did before.

.

So I'm hoping that the Estate gets someone who knows what they're doing to handle the remastering. It's not just bumping up the volume... it's important to go back to the original tapes (multi-tracks if you can get them!) and do everything from the ground up.

HUGE XTX fan here. My heavens, SKYLARKING and ORANGES AND LEMONS!!

Are you a fan of Jellyfish???

But I agree, its criminal that an artist as huge and as well-regarded as Prince has his Classic Era stuff out there sounding so poorly...

Oh man, Jellyfish is one of my favorite bands of the 90s. So sad they fell apart, but at least they gave us two perfect pop masterpieces.

.

Anyone who is a fan of Queen should get "Spilt Milk" right now. RIGHT NOW!!!

You should have clicked it there and then. If it goes down, Amazon charge you the lower price anyway.

Moonbeam Levels has been released, so I think they're counting the 12 tracks from the Detroit show. Bit misleading.

never mind

I'm assuming the 23 unreleased vault tracks (Moonbeam Levels has been previously released) + the concert recording.
