Almost bought, but I am holding off. I want to know exactly what the package entails before I spend the money, it's a pretty high price. Really hoping the dvd is the Moore theater show, and not just rehearsal/ studio footage only. . April is a long ways away too. 8-)

Really? Two CDs and a DVD for $25 sounds like great value to me. Man I'd get mine pre-ordered as you never know what they will announce whether its limited or whatever.

yep...i'd have spent $20 on the dvd alone...(i know, i know...blah,blah,blah, we don't know if its the complete show, but so what)

Without shipping I think it's a hair high, but once you add that in it's really high. Most music dvds are pretty discounted these days. I paid less for the the recent Zeppelin cd/bluray set.

Waiting for word on the vinyl.

Shipping down under is pretty damn cheap from 10c so its all good. I'm looking forward to this now 8-)

ordered - chuffed to bits

already have the vinyl and no record player so don't need ANOTHER album I own and wont open or spin

You should get a record player!!!

I'm sure I will come up against many here but I don't rate vinyl. I collect it sure because it looks nicer but to be able to get better sound from vinyl than cd I find it costs too much. I have a semi decent stereo but vinyl through it sounds poorer than playing CDs.

all in the stylus/cartridge

How many of you already pre-ordered this?

I want to, but if this isn't limited then its better to buy in local store. Just to skip waiting time to Sweden.

Wish 10c could give us more info? Please?

I preordered. Can't go wrong with only a $3.30 shipping cost charge to Canada.
It doesn't say limited edition so there will be many of these copies passed around for a while.

Now to stand by & wait for promo copies & country manufactured versions of this release ... :angel:

I will be very disappointed if there is no vinyl plans for this reissue.

Let's cross our fingers this .. http://www.musicdirect.com/p-104222-mad ... rt-lp.aspx .. will come true.

I wonder what audio formats will be available on the DVD. It would be nice to have it in Blu-Ray just to have the master audio from that show.

Here's A LOT more info about the release from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Above-Deluxe-Edit ... FIZL2L3SP5

Above (Deluxe Edition) is a three-disc set comprised of two CDs and one DVD.

CD 1 features the original album + an unreleased acoustic instrumental titled "Interlude," 3 new songs from the band's unfinished second album with newly recorded vocals and lyrics by Mark Lanegan and a remixed version of the band's John Lennon cover "I Don't Wanna Be A Soldier"

CD 2 features the full audio set from the bands historical performance at the Moore Theater in Seattle on April 29, 1995, remastered in stereo sound.

The DVD features the first official DVD release of Live at The Moore, remixed and remastered and newly edited by director Duncan Sharp. Also featured is a full concert of the bands performance from New Years Eve 1995 at RKCNDY in Seattle and both performances from Self-Pollution Radio, one newly edited.

**A full-color collector's booklet features previously unseen performance photographs and an essay by Barret Martin reflecting on the lives of Staley and Saunders and the history of the band.**


It's very nice to know these AWESOME details

Remixed, remastered, and newly edited? Granted, it's been awhile since I've put Live At The Moore in the ol' VCR, but I certainly don't remember it needing anything new. I thought it was great the way it was. I hope the changes don't screw it up.

Very cool that it will contain another full performance plus the SPR.

Hope not the newly edited part means they've cut parts from the original...
