Thread: Roxy Music "Roxy Music (Super Deluxe Edition)" 3CD/1DVD box set including SW 5.1 mix

    Roxy Music "Roxy Music (Super Deluxe Edition)" 3CD/1DVD box set including SW 5.1 mix

    Roxy Music "Roxy Music (Super Deluxe Edition)" 3CD/1DVD box set including Steven Wilson 5.1 mix (Virgin UK)

    Roxy Music’s ground-breaking debut album is expanded in an exclusive super-deluxe package featuring rare and previously unavailable material. It represents the first time Roxy Music’s archives have been opened, offering rare and genuinely never-heard-before material outside Roxy’s inner circle. Compiled with the group’s involvement, the 3CD / DVD 12” X 12” box set includes the original album including ‘Virginia Plain’, the demo tape that led to their first record deal plus the legendary BBC Sessions that saw the group hone their craft. There’s also an entire disc, exclusive to this format, of previously unheard studio outtakes prepared exclusively by Bryan Ferry and producer Rhett Davies including alternate session versions for every album track and ‘Virginia Plain’. The original album is presented in the 1999 Bob Ludwig master, while the reminder of the audio has been mastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road. The DVD includes promos and BBC TV appearances as well rare footage of Roxy at the Bataclan Club in Paris in November 1972, the only surviving capture of this line-up live on stage. To round the audio/visual elements of the set off, lifetime admirer Steven Wilson has mixed the album into 5.1 DTS 96/24 and Dolby AC3 Sound. Seven years in the making, the box set also contains a 136-page book printed on hi-gloss 170gsm paper curated by Bryan Ferry, containing many rare and previously unpublished photographs, and an essay by Guardian journalist and author Richard Williams, the man who first wrote about the group in Melody Maker in 1971.

    What?!?!?!?! It's four discs!!!! That's completely nuts! Well, at least it doesn't come with vinyl that will just take up space and I'll never play.

    There is, but not with the 5.1 DVD.

    Will this lead to Steven Wilson's Glam phase?
    I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.

    Similar to Rush's Farewell to Kings then! They know how to both milk and piss fans off!

    I would definitely want the full set with the videos and outtakes--I could live without the 5.1--but that price is scary.

    At $60 a disc this is gonna be an easy pass, it should be $60 for the whole set.

    No Wilson stereo mix!?

    and
    "The original album is presented in the 1999 Bob Ludwig master"

    Guess I save a lot of money!

    "We must address the issue of pricing. Amazon in the UK currently have a pre-order price of £172, which is insane. This price will inevitably come down to at least the £130 mark before the release date (Amazon France currently have a price equivalent of around £137). That is still very, very high of course and you wonder if the executives at Universal have been chatting with Scott Rodger and Paul McCartney about price points. Worth it? Only you can decide, but the content is excellent and presentation looks very good."

    The selection of the 1999 Ludwig master to fill the first CD is an odd choice. It has few fans on here and other forums, and has been substantially bettered by more recent CD and SACD releases. One thing occurred to me. I wonder if the dynamic compression (speculation alert) on discs two and three may be more in line with Ludwig's master, so they would have a more consistent listen across the three CDs?

    The music selection and presentation appear to be excellent, but the choice of original mix master and the lossy files on the DVD is very, very disappointing.
    Are the fans to be further fleeced by having to buy SW's hi-res remix as a premium download?

    Another wasted opportunity, and at a price only greed would acknowledge.

    The price boggles the mind... The amount of material here is comparable to the Jethro Tull SFTW set. Some great live video, previously unseen, 5.1, a new stereo mix + a lot of bonus tracks. How much was that? I think I paid $35! Let's hope this doesn't give Ian A any ideas about future Tull sets, with him being a shrewd businessman and all...

    Do you medan the stereo remix? Or what?

    Question: what happened to "The Numberer" (non LP B-side to the "Virginia Plain" single). I don't see it included in the track listing for this set.

    I'm totally interested but...I'll wait to see if the price comes down. At the current price I'm not a player.

    I really want this, but even at half that price I'd have a problem justifying it.
