I won't get the deluxe set, but if the trend follows, I'll definitely get the singular Blu-ray release. That only leaves "Eve" of the earlier albums, which I'm sure they will get to. I'd happily buy "Vulture Culture", "Stereotomy", and "Gaudi", as well, if ever released in multi-channel.

I'll wait for the standard Blu-ray Audio release.

finally! Been waiting for this one for a long time.
Will wait for stand alone also.

Why do they think people who are into vinyl are into multichannel and vice versa?

My brother is and I assume others are, so it isn't a totally incorrect assumption.

However, it isn't that uncommon to start out with a release that has more bells and whistles then most want just to entice those with the liquid cash and that are less concerned about cost and more about getting it right away. Then later offer the bare bones editions for us that are more selective and cost sensitive.

My favourite Alan Parsons Project album so I've been waiting for this one! Even so...I'll be waiting for the Blu Ray only version.

Now if only they could re-issue Eye in the Sky.

The overbloated sets I am interested in never seem to end up in a slimmed down version, except for CDs.
