Since they recorded in a quite large venue, it's likely they beefed up the total size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,483 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 It's a busy end of winter for me... a new Roy Orbison CD/Blu-ray (A Black & White Night 30)... a new live CD from Charles Aznavour (Olympia 1976), and this new boxset... As I maintain a songs catalog/discography for each one, I'm happy not to follow any other artist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, you're right! Interesting. It looks like iTunes has a $16.99 version with only the music and a $19.99 version with the music plus digital booklet and documentary. Another question for anyone who knows: Would this album be composed of protected iTunes files? I.e. would it be possible to copy them to the desktop, or would I only be able to play them in iTunes with a specific account? What about Amazon digital music?

None of the major digital stores sell DRM music anymore. Once you buy it you can do whatever you want with it. But why would you buy this digitally instead of the nice box set, anyway?

Well, speaking for myself, it's a simple matter of economics. Due to a weakend currency and the escalating cost of overseas shipping, I simply can no longer afford to buy physical media. The download sells for a fraction of the cost, and as much as I would prefer to buy physical media (with lossless uncompressed audio), I am not in a position to do so at present.

Will 2,215 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Yeah, I think the remark was probably more directed at people like me who live in the U.S. and can get cheap shipping (and, in this specific case for me, probably free), so actually the box set would only set me back $5 more than the digital.

Incanus 5,715 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yeah I admit I am bit miffed that I have to re-buy the two previous discs that I already own to get this new one. I would have loved a single disc release with the DVD as bonus but from Sony's point of view I do see the sense in selling all three discs in a single package.

I just don't like how by the time the CD arrives the initial glow of the release will already be worn off and it won't be as exciting. Same thing happened with my The BFG CD.

Amer 2,109 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 While we have some flavour of the album with tracks from RAIDERS and AMISTAD. I'll probably refrain from further samples. I want to be taken by the whole fresh new listening experience. The tracks I'm particularly looking forward to is the 'Hymn' from SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, THE WAR HORSE and the two variations from LINCOLN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
