Didnt MOB say it was supposed to be Meddle 2016 Stereo mix?
just cannot understand why Amazon Germany charges 687€ whereas amazon Italy only charges 477.
i can get a difference of ten, maybe twenty euro on such an item/price, but 210€? bizarr.
so i did the right thing and bought from my new favourite amazon site (where though do i set the language to english on their site?)
Currently, Amazon germany charges 395.20 €Quote:

1967 Disappointment: Lack of PATGOD mono and 40th anniversary bonus tracks. No San Francisco "Interstellar Overdrive."
1967 Surprise: 1965 recordings and Stockholm 1967. Seeing these videos in such high quality.
1968 Disappointment: Lack of ASOS mono and replaced alternate "Corporal Clegg" from Belgium vid.
1968 Surprise: Outtakes from '67 & '68, video quality.
1969 Disappointment: No Ummagumma "Interstellar Overdrive," wrong "Seabirds."
1969 Surprise: More bonus tracks, Zappa footage (even if the performance was kinda meh).
1970 Disappointment: Lack of previously released Zabriskie Point tracks (to have them all in one place). Only one track from Live In Montreux (would've loved an official release of Smoking Blues without the fade-out/in on the last tracks).
1970 Surprise: A lot of Zabriskie Point outtakes. And I guess at least the one Smoking Blues track made it on. Pop Deux footage.
1971 Disappointment: No alternate lyrics "Echoes" (even just snippets of the vocal passages would've been nice), no OOTD demos, would've been nice to hear all the "Nothing" parts. Why did they cut "Blues" from the BBC? I love "Blues."
1971 Surprise: "Nothing Part 14" was cool. Video snippet of the band recording music for "Echoes." Hipgnosis interview bit. "Blues" is on a different disc, but still disappointed it's not where it should be.
1972 Disappointment: A new, different terrible director's cut of Live In Pompeii that I'd consider the worst one yet.
1972 Surprise: Roland Petit Ballet footage, even if it's all snippets.
Continu/ation Disappointment: I'm trying really, really hard to not feel buyers remorse for spending so much extra to get this one extra set of discs (assuming the cost of the stand-alone sets will be priced at $30-50...maybe it'll end up being more?).
Continu/ation Surprise: The extra cost was maybe/probably because of licensing costs to get all this video? I hope that my blowing so much money helps to let Mason et al know that people are interested in material like this, and to hopefully do something special for Animals finally. I like how the new OBC mix sounds.
Overall, might've been better if it'd been album-by-album (and counted Pompeii as an album) instead of year-by-year. "A" for effort in collecting all this material, but the various little mistakes in packaging and execution make it feel like it was assembled (or bits dramatically altered) very last minute.
Nice review kateness :D
One of the things I was looking forward to seeing was Bath 1970. Has the team behind the box set commented on it at all? It seems a bit random that the film is only 3m46s but it is in very nice condition, much better than has previously circulated.
The audio seems to be taken from the AHM album but it's rather hissy. It's not from the show itself in any case.Quote:
