Acoustic sounds will announce release dates when it becomes realistic to do so (pressing plant schedules etc) but we can assume it won’t happenthis year.
Thanks for that Christian. That was longer than I was expecting!!
Do you know any shops from the UK who are taking pre-orders but are only charging more nearer the time of release date? I can't seem to find any...
I've had a repeat email from my source (in Germany), for the last 4 months at least , informing me that "my order (all the albums ex Selling England - which I received last year) has been delayed....." for (yet) another month. I can't decide if it's all just plain and simple management incompetence, or an everlasting April fool joke (More Fool Me) at play with the whole, sorry kerfuffle. A simple, honest explanation from the top turnip /big cheese man would easily allay my grumbling attitude.
Keep your chin up, it sounds like they're going to take quite a while to get here unfortunately going by what Christian just said
Ok - the good news is that the DVDs, regardless from which country you are purchasing the DVDs from, are not region-encoded.
However, if you source a set from the UK or Europe, the DVDs will be in PAL video format (which, of course, is standard in these regions). If you source your sets from North America, South Korea, or Japan, the DVDs will be in NTSC video format (which is standard in these regions). The good news here is that, since they are not region-encoded, the NTSC discs will normally play on DVD players in the UK. I know this from first-hand experience - I grew up in America, but lived in England for about 7 years. The DVDs that I brought from the States all worked there if the DVD was not region-encoded. So, on the DVD front, you are good to go.
…however…
If having the hybrid SACD/CD discs is important to you, you’ll have to source your sets outside of North America: here, these boxsets are only CDs - no SACD-layer is on the discs.
Good luck in your search! 🍀

Hi,
Thanks so much for the reply and information, that's a weight off my mind
I'd have hated to have brought a cheaper American set only for the DVDs not to work!!!
I'm not too bothered about the hybrid SACD or just regular CD, as I haven't go an SACD player so I'll only be listening in stereo anyway.
Slightly similar question to you or anyone, for the live "Black" boxset, do the DVD layers just contain the albums in 5.1, there's no interviews or other visual content on those discs?
Hopefully this is a question someone can answer easily!
Does anyone know what region the DVDs are for the Green 1970-1975 boxset? Are they Region 1, 2, 0, or does it depend on which country you buy them from?
I'm trying to buy a green boxset, and I don't know if it's cheaper to buy a full set, or buy the albums separately. The DVDs are as important as the SACD/CD layer for me, as I'm interested in the interviews for each album.
So, basically, if I brought one of the US sets for example, would that work on a UK DVD player?

Obviously the mixes are going to sound different (Nick Davis would have mixed this song to fit in with the rest of The Shorts album, otherwise it would have stuck out like a sore thumb sonically!), but the high falsetto notes for the two performances TO ME are bang on one and the same
For arguments sake, was the 13th October night broadcast on the radio?
Thanks for finding that website, that's at least some info.
Anyone else got any other ideas what date it could be? (Just because it's a "wiki" type site that anyone can edit, it'd just be good to get a 2nd opinion).
Not sure if this is the right thread, but I've got a question I'm sure someone on here can answer in 10 seconds!!!
We all know the live version of "In Too Deep" from The Shorts live album comes from Los Angeles in 1986, but does anyone know which of the three dates from the LA Forum it actually comes from?
If I'm not trying to do a "reimagined" album, I tend to put the b-sides after the record's proper tracklisting. So while I appreciate wanting Fading Lights to be the last thing, I would likely still put Hearts on Fire and On The Shoreline at the end of a playlist.
If you really don't want to do that, but also want to respect the original track listing, I'd suggest putting them in as a break in between the first and second halves of the album -- so in between Dreaming While You Sleep and Tell Me Why. Think of them like a little sorbet between the courses of the album.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply, that's an interesting take I hadn't thought of.
The remixes of all of the live albums sounded great, but especially Seconds Out!
Definitely!
I was always impressed with the original mix of "The Longs" and "The Shorts", but it's great having the songs in the concert order for the 2009 remix where they're both combined!
Just need to get the remix of "Three Sides Live" and I'm done!! Does that sound as good as these two out of interest?
I'll pop this question in here thanks to BackDrifter's help
Basically I've just discovered the EXCELLENT B-sides from the We Can't Dance singles "On The Shoreline" and "Hearts On Fire" thanks to the extra tracks from the Red boxset I got recently.
I'll make a playlist with these songs along with the rest of We Can't Dance so it's kind of in sequence.
My question is: Where should they go with the rest of the album's tracks?
I'm thinking after "Since I Lost You" but keep "Fading Lights" as the last song on the album. That should sound quite good, but I'm just curious if anyone thinks I should put them earlier in the album?
I'm interested in people's thoughts on this, should be interesting
Bit of a complicated thread title, but I'll explain better with more words!!!

the older Encores where available shortly after the shows, approx. 3 weeks. But those were in physical formal. Nugs uses streams and downloads, so that’s not that time consuming to make it available.
But still there’s no sign we might get this for the European shows.
Hi Christian,
Thanks for the reply on this....I understand how they work now.
A few years ago when more artists were releasing Soundboards of their gigs, they'd make them available immediately after the gig (a few of my Kiss soundboards from a few years ago are like this).
Peter obviously likes to mix them a little bit to make sure they're of optimum quality (which fits with what we know about his philosophy of sound! :), so I don't think the format (whether download or physical formats) are going to matter, he'll still want the gigs mixed a bit, so the wait I guess is understandable.
GREAT gig on Saturday night by the way, the musicianship on display was STELLAR What a great first gig of Peter's to see!
Just speculation on my part, but could Peter/his management be waiting to release the soundboards (in whatever format) after each leg of the tour has finished?
(so anytime after June 25th for the Europe/UK leg of the tour?)
Christian, when have the previous tour Encore Series discs been released, straight after a gig, or after a leg of a tour has finished?
All I know is, I'll be in Birmingham for tonight's gig, and I'd REALLY like a professional recording to buy as a souvenir!!!
So I'm gradually going to buy the Red, Green & Blue sets in various denominations (as cheap as I can find full sets, or buy the boxes and discs separately).
I'll buy Calling All Stations more for the 2007 interviews, but my main question is:
What mix of the album is better to listen to as a first listen, the original 1997 CD, or the 2007 CD?
I've never heard it and I'm interested to hear it, but I know that the 1991 CD (and vinyl) of We Can't Dance sounds MILES better than the 2007 mix from what samples I've heard online. I was just wondering if that is the same case here?
Maybe Nick Davis struggles to re-mix his own work?
So, looks like no "Encore Series" CD at the moment (I was hoping someone on here was going to say "I brought one last night"). Let's hope that changes
I don't want to see any videos to spoil when I see Peter in Birmingham, but from the 5 songs he's released so far, can anyone tell me what "version" he's playing of them?
I've brought the "Bright Side Mix" of all 5 so far, are these the arrangements he played last night out of interest?
In regards to the setlist, I'm so glad Peter has (so far) released 5 of the 10 new songs he's playing from I/O. We've at least had some time to get into them,
I think it could have been a different story if he hadn't released anything. 10 brand new songs that no one had heard before....that could have been difficult to get through!!!
I'll ask this question in bold so that it stands out:
Was anyone who was at tonight's gig able to buy an "Encore Series" CD of tonight's show?
I know Peter was one of the last few artistes to sell soundboards of his gigs, but there's nothing on the Real World store (just the old gigs from 2003-2014).
