The surround work is fantastic. Stephen W. Taylor is soooo good at this!

This looks a fantastic box set. Out of my price range I'm afraid.
I will continue to love and cherish the remastered CD's from 2009!

for someone outside the uk this could be a good box set because with shipping it comes out to around 15 per cd

That's unfortunate, hopefully they work out something and it eventually gets done. I see some shops have removed it but at least this one still has it. |

Just got notification from LaserCD that this box set has been canceled - indefinitely. Very sad, as I really, really want those surround mixes! Anyone else hear this?

Thank you re, "since everything else on the previous reissues is included here except the October 1974 Marquee recordings. Also the versions of Ligging at Louis' and Lady Fantasy from A Live Record are not included here if the info is correct, but other recordings" - sums it up in a nutshell
Reads to me that they are going for the Fanatics, not the Fans, money who will buy anything, no matter how much is previously released to have the full collection
That said, not everyone owns a Blue Ray player, but a Standard DVD one 2nd, like the e.g Jethro Tull boxsets or other so called "remixes", "remastered" , the Camel album remixes, whatever improvement, do not justify the additional price as they don't exactly make the recordings sound entirely new. Thus, I would need to hear comparisons to prove me wrong |

I only want the Blu-Rays for the surround mixes, but to purchase this I
have to know who did those mixes. I won't play the CDs that we have all
heard of before.

Yeah, I'll race right out to purchase that one.

Based on some comments in a Camel group on Facebook, at least one German shop had refunded a preorder and said that Universal is pushing the release back a few months from (I guess) the May date I have seen.

I find this hard to believe with 27 CD's and 5 Blu-ray's. It would look pretty neat on the CD shelf, however. At this price I might actually make the investment.

For me the main attractions are one completely unheard of song, one never previously officially released song, a complete unreleased show with Richard Sinclair and five remixed albums.
Also, not connected whether anyone buys this or not, since all of this stuff is getting a release maybe they'll finally also put all the Decca albums on digital platforms. |

Camel is one of my all-time favourite bands, but I'm still totally uninterested by such a box set. I already have almost all of this stuff. |

As said above the current listings have been about 165 dollars or 140ish euros. But it's still not officially announced, so we'll see.
