Kinda....but in a way, since Steven usually is "all in" on these things (see the Jethro Tull, King Crimson, and Yes re-releases), and to see his name attached to this project, it seemed natural to think it was going to be similar to all those other releases he's gotten involved in.
You're right. There was no deception. But I do wish they would have made it clearer that the main album and B-sides on the first two discs were not done with SW's involvement. Or at least done a bit more to promote that it was Michael Hunter that was doing the 2017 remaster with no remixing, as opposed to having Steven Wilson be the *only* name that was bantered about in the promotion of the product.
Seriously....Michael Hunter is not mentioned at all on the outside of the package, nor is he ever even mentioned in the promotion of the release. Even though it only mentions SW in the mix of the surround sound, his name is still the only name that comes up. Check it.
