hammersmith 75/79 houston 77,Japan 85 I doubt that these gigs are suitable for release on Blu ray. Work on a Rainbow still don't finished. Knewborth full professional recording don't exist, only part.  Argentina 1981  I doubt that this gig are suitable for release on Blu ray

If only you could be as consistently accurate and on-topic elsewhere all the time :-)

Well I don't suppose you would have seen the "Days Of Our Lives" documentary in full high definition then, would you? Seriously, even with the fact the archival footage used for the most is originally shot on standard definition video, it looks FANTASTIC in upconverted HD compared to standard DVD! Not that I'm advocating a Wembley '86 re-release anytime soon (maybe they should wait until the 30th or 40th anniversary for that!), but in general I believe any concert shot on video would do fine on BD in that as far as encoding and specs go, BD allows up to 40Mbit/s for video encoding as opposed to DVD's 8Mbit/s, and there is the more significant advantage of having lossless surround sound audio (DVD's limited to either lossless 2.0 PCM or 5.1 DTS topping out at 1.5Mbit/s) Also, for the North American/NTSC markets, the BD resolution allows us to watch PAL-sourced videos without losing about 16% of the picture quality in the process (as is typical with PAL > NTSC conversions for SD formats), albeit with the frame rate still changed from 25fps to 29.97fps of course.

I'm no expert, but I suppose alot of work needs to be done, and that you cannot simply transfer it to a BD and it'll look alot better? about the sound; yes indeed. a BD could contain a HD sountrack. imo, that's a good enough reason to put out a Wembley BD...

I haven't bought the Alchemy Live Blu Ray because I read several reviews saying it had no remastering or treatment, and was literally just the VHS dumped onto a blu ray disc, and had loads of colour bleeding etc.... Is there a revised edition oput now that addresses these issues, or were these reviews way off the mark? Thanks Chris

Regarding that, yes. But in terms of audio quality? I doubt it :)

I doubt it. I'm not even sure which you are claiming is better. When you're up around 24/96 lossles or higher, the quality of the source material and how it is mixed and mastered is totally dominant for the audio quality.

mooghead wrote: I am not claiming either is better, I am willing to bet my left nut that 99.9% of people who frequent this board do not have the necessary equipment to claim which is better either. Those who would buy the very high quality formats would no doubt rip them straight to a portable device thus undermining the quality anyway. Its a product for products sake and there have been too many.

I just want a 40th Anniversary debut-album box and more boxes when other albums reach that mark. - The original album on 2x12" 45-RPM disc - The 2011 remaster of the album - A CD containing the first three BBC sessions (February, June and December 1973) - A CD containing the full Golders Green gig - A CD containing outtakes, alternate versions etc. - A replica of the De Lane Lea acetate - A replica of one of the KYA 7" singles - Some other memorabilia thrown in (tickets, replica poster, ...) - A book containing extensive interviews with all involved (Brian, Roger, producers, friends, ...) Shame it won't happen.
