Ordered the deluxe. Super excited

SW boxes never, ever come with vinyl. ever. ever. get used to it (you should have seen it coming).

also, they are apparently going to carry some of the CD box versions through a North American retailer, so the shipping won't rape you like it always does from Burning Shed if you live stateside. i'm waiting to see where exactly that preorder is, though...

Newbury Comics.
Also I emailed them about when the preorder would open...
"Thank you for the email. Unfortunately, that information has not been made available at this time."

I want to know if the 5.1 mix will be available outside of this version

edit: I guess not. Sigh, I didn't really want to spend any more money at the moment...

TheOutlawXanadu · « **Reply #355 on:** July 28, 2011, 01:35:20 PM »

I really want the deluxe edition... But I need to control myself. I'm already planning on spending way too much on music in September as is.

zxlkho · « **Reply #356 on:** July 28, 2011, 01:36:20 PM »

SW will be the best September album anyway.

faemir · « **Reply #357 on:** July 28, 2011, 01:43:08 PM »

zxlkho · « **Reply #360 on:** July 28, 2011, 04:42:09 PM »

seasonsinthesky · « **Reply #361 on:** July 28, 2011, 05:54:11 PM »

zxlkho · « **Reply #362 on:** July 28, 2011, 06:17:28 PM »

It's 9 dollars more expensive on that site. I'll have to check which is cheaper with shipping.

edit: wow it's still 12 dollars cheaper. Definitely ordering from there.

The King in Crimson · « **Reply #363 on:** July 28, 2011, 11:57:57 PM »

Sweet lord...

Regular edition here I come!

Do it, you don't want to miss out on those bonus tracks.

Swap the DT/Opeth boxsets for this one

I've got my ps3, but no speakers with coaxial to play surround in. I'll probably get abluray drive for my pc and rip it as a bunch of flacs, as with all my dvd-audio albums.

Ħ · « **Reply #369 on:** July 29, 2011, 01:00:50 PM »

I still don't really get the GfD song. At all. I like everything on Insurgentes better.

blackngold29 · « **Reply #370 on:** July 29, 2011, 09:02:57 PM »

It's only $5 cheaper from Newbury than Burning Shed. Not sure if the book is worth $80; I could use that to buy the rest of PT's albums.

zxlkho · « **Reply #371 on:** July 29, 2011, 09:08:25 PM »

It was $12 cheaper on Newbury for me.

So the 2CD Digibook version will be distributed like Insurgentes was?

No, it's all gonna come out at the same time for this album. I really didn't understand the staggered release for Insurgentes.

Steven Wilson just posted this on his Facebook page:

Hi folks, some clarification, at least what I know (while I'd love to control every aspect of everything, I just can't!) : The deluxe edition is limited to 5,000 copies worldwide. Exclusive to the deluxe is of course the 120 book itself, and the bonus CD (though 3 of the pieces from the bonus CD also appear as extras on the blu-ray). The blu-ray disc / 5.1 mix will only play on a blu-ray player, no DVD version this time. I believe blu-ray will soon become standard for high res audio releases, and probably movies too - players can now be picked up for as little as £50 and note that you can play your regular DVDs on a blu-ray player too. A standalone blu-ray will be available too (not sure why no pre-order for that one). I think you can cancel your order for the deluxe if you just prefer the blu-ray - we can certainly use them if you prefer not to have one, it's selling pretty fast. I don't know what's going on with the high price of ordering from the local mail order companies, the whole idea was to try to make it cheaper for everyone, but I'm guessing the problem is still the cost of getting the copies out to them from the UK, even in bulk. Kinda frustrating (so here is a picture if me looking suitably grumpy). Anyway, looking into that. The double vinyl will include a drop card allowing you to download the album, but I don't know if that's lossless or compressed mp3. So a few things I need to clarify with the label - hopefully more info in a few days....

Oh I didn't know about that. I meant like distributed like a regular album, to the bigger music retailers and stuff.

I just asked to cancel my deluxe edition, if I can get the bluray on it's own then I will, I need the money D:

Oh I assume so. My local HMV has a few copies of Insurgentes. I think after the initial pressing they might change the packaging of the digibook to super jewel case (like with Insurgentes) to save some dough though.

Purchased deluxe + vinyl from burningshed when it came out, but now I wish I waited a little bit and got the US version instead.

No, the album will be released on Blu-Ray seperately, although you can't pre-order it right now, as noted by SW in his above post on facebook.

I ordered the vinyl, even though I got slightly raped with shipping.

(I guess it can never really be rape with SW)
