Pink Floyd Box set 16 Years, 6 Months ago

I was near shocked watching in the HMV´s japanese mini lps pre-reserves area a Pink Floyd Box set scheduled for november 26.
I Pushed the link inmediately and it was in fact an Emi UK release. 16 disk including a DVD.
But... the japanese comments in that page talks about a december japanese release or something. The japanese translation of the comments was made by google but... who knows?
Cheers
Domingo

hi Sam / Keith,
this is the link!!! http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/pink-floyd-mini-vinyl-studio-box-set.html
and this is a UK version mini lp box - so i expect the sleeves to be thinner. I was thinking of selling my Pink Floyd mini lp set but decided against it as i have a gut feel that the new box would be not same quality of sleeves as the jap mini lps
the cheapest you can get is on amazon.de and it is around US$ 230 with shipping [if you're outside Europe and there is no VAT applicable]
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000X1LH6C/braindamage0f-21
This is my first post and must i say this is a real cool looking forum!!!
Sam - way to go mate!!
cheers,
Arvind |

OK.....this is the big question. When for the Japanese release and how much? $230 US for this many CD's is really good. What is the remaster on these? I hope they went DSD.

Keith,
there is no clear information on remastering or DSD at all.
The only bits and pieces i can add up are that all the albums are geeting re-released on Feb 4, 2008 - which could be new mastering [else why would they release the albums]. If you sort the pink floyd albums by "release dates" on amazon sites you will find all albums slated for Feb 4, 2008 release...
obviously the box and these releases will be same sound sources as no one in right mind will use earlier masters for the box and remasters for Feb 4, 2008 releases... There is not enough information to conjecture at this stage...
Let us see what these sites say in a few days from now.
cheers,
Arvind

It´s not sure the japanese release. Was something in a customer coment.
When this EU release will come out we will know but right now I will conserve my entire japanese collection for sure.

Yes - Arvind mentioned to me that the covers are quite likely going to be thinner than the earlier Japanese releases - the old ones are certainly a benchmark in packaging.

UICY-93980 : 2009-02-25 Rod's first 'greatest hits' album with a fantastic, die-cut sleeve. |
MVCZ-40 : 1994-03-24 One of the earliest Japanese Mini LPs coming from the second batch of K2 20bit Jazz replicas released in March 1994. | | |
WPCR-13142 (fake) : 2009-01-01 This fake Led Zeppelin 40th Anniversary appears to be made in China. You would find it hard to pick a sealed copy of this as being anything other than than the real deal. Inside it is also remarkably similar but has some significant, obvious differences in packaging including: (a) the CD comes in a flimsy loose fitting bag (b) Physical Graffiti has no cut out windows and (c) III (3) has no turning wheel. The CDs also have the tell tale extra ring in the middle but this is much better disguised than usual. Unusually for fakes these have the catalogue number and an IFPI code (CC 303) on the silver side of the disc. |
WPCR-13295 : 2009-01-14 Fifth studio album, featuring Talking Heads only US Top Ten hit, Burning Down The House (including an alternative version as a bonus, and an unfinished outtake of Two Note Swivel).
This version is a reproduction of the limited edition clear vinyl version designed by artist Robert Rauschenberg, who won a Grammy Award for his work. | | |
WPCR-13517 : 2009-07-22 "Finally after 36 years a correct version not only printed beautifully but also opening like a book, as it should." (Roger Dean)
The first reproduction of the original UK booklet style cover (however comes on 2 not 3 CDs). Earlier releases of this (AMCY-2733 and AMCY-6293) were created in the US "accordion" style. |
DU-BOX045 : 2005-09-28 Tarkus promo box and obis released to accompany the first K2 24 bit release of the first five ELP albums.
The artwork is darker than the album cover. It came with 6 promo obis, 2 for Trilogy.
Some of the images shown here include all but one of the Tarkus Mini LP releases spanning 1994 - 2008 | | |
