$700. Are they insane. What are they going to charge for a set when Pink Floyd was in their prime? AN arm, a leg and an embryo or two.

Yeah, I'd love to own this but $700? Doubtful.

looking further, individual 'volumes', of which there are 7, will be released next year. the last disc set and all the ephemera will be exclusive to the box. so it looks like the material will be available somewhat cheaper eventually.

Bull Moose has a preorder of it for $511, so maybe it will come down yet. http://www.bullmoose.com/p/23306392/pin ... 4-disc-set

I'm pretty excited about this, though there's no way I'm spending $700 on the whole thing.

has anyone heard the new reissues on vinyl and compared to original or mfsl or foreign pressings?

Pretty much. They have a lot of nerve charging that much when they have excluded so many things and used shit sources for some things when it was totally unnecessary. They can blow me until next Tuesday.

a lot of nerve!

I'll probably pick up the individual sets over time, or buy FLACs if they make them available at a decent price.

Fine. Be a turd. But the fact that Bob Dylan/Columbia is charging less than $150 for a 36-disc set says all you need to know about the "value" you are getting here. The idea that anyone would pay $700 for this is hilarious.

Probably dl both for free

bumping my earlier question: has anyone heard the new reissues on vinyl and compared to original or mfsl or foreign pressings?

i've picked up all of the early record reissues save meddle, and am actually pleasantly surprised. i don't have a great setup (not terrible, though), and everything has sounded pretty good to me. also, it's nice to listen to the older albums without the noise/scratches all of my old copies had on them.

there's a massive thread on the hoffman forums if you want to wade through that. seems more positive feedback than not.

There is no such thing as a bad sounding Floyd vinyl or CD. It's arguing minutiae. When those Steve Hoffman bastards argue about the best pressing of DSOTM, I want to pull my hair out. And then they think it's fine if something is mastered all crappy as long as it's a shitty recording. They are completely ass backwards.

Yep that was the same as Oldchella.

Anyone gunning for tix to his Us + Them tour?

there's a stop here, so hopefully i can score some. don't think i'd travel for this if i don't get tix.

we just saw him at Oldchella, but I wouldn't mind seeing him again. He's playing in Tacoma so that's easy, just don't know what the ticket prices will be

Anyone have the presale code?

$200+ for upper level. Fuck.
