Probably not an error as it's still showing available. I'm guessing those of us (myself included) that are having issues with the shipping and overall price is probably causing a surplus for them. That one might be with them for a little while (hopefully it sticks around until I find a must have).

Received an email today stating the release date for these has been pushed back to April 26th.

Yeah with the delay they put the single BD-A links back up for purchase

I received mine. Love the extra tracks on both of these.

I have to figure out the dynamic range of the Stereo tracks though, they might be a bit compressed...

I've run a few of my Pure Audio discs through 'Fakin The Funk'. All other came up as 320k. I assumed I was doing something wrong but these are the first ones I've tried that were mostly more than that.

Yeah the stereo tracks are definitely a remaster, not sure when the remaster happened (if it is previously released) but thankfully they're not slammed.

Could you run it on the bonus stereo tracks? Thanks in advance.

I just picked up the set for a steal on the bay. I can't wait to receive these and give a listen, as these will be my first BD-A atmos discs. I am looking forward to the Purple Rain disc next.

WHAM! has arrived.

I see these two Wham! releases are still available. fwiw

Anyway just placed an order (after a long dry spell since last year) with the sde shop for their newly announced Bronski Beat's 40th anniversary The Age Of Consent blu-ray audio. Now this is one I'm looking forward to.

(Had the Robin Trower Bridge Of Sighs release been in stock I likely would have got that too, but it wasn't.)

Just wanted to also not that, this time anyway, they no longer are charging in dollars, so at least I won't be paying for that little extra rounding up they were doing in their currency conversions. £33, which sounds better than the $42.85 I was actually charged, but still better than the likely $44 I would have probably been charged if they were doing the conversion.

My birthday present to myself this year… if I last that long.

Received this little bundle of joy today - also my first foray into the world of Blu-ray Audio
