According to the Rhino Store:
"This definitive version comprises 5 CDs, 1 LP, and a Blu-ray."
Even the hype sticker proclaims this to be: "The Definitive Edition".
So, does it stand up to this lofty marketing or is it in fact just a mediocre hotch potch of badly judged remixes, exist, out-takes and surround mixes; in other words, a cash grab?
In this video I discuss the content on the various discs; compare the main event against a 1972 UK original and also the 1982 MOFI all analogue audiophile release. And re-evaluate the various Steven Wilson remixes...
