Jeff Waynes WotW Album Relaunch June 20th

By Horsell Common Apr 15, 2005, 20:28 GMT

The release date will be June 20th 2005

Below is a rundown of what the 'Collectors Edition' set will include.

1. CD's 1+2 - SA-CD - these are 2 CD's each containing two files. One
file is a brand new stereo remix built up from the original multi
tracks, transferred into the digital domain - sound by sound, track by
track and then ENTIRELY remixed. If you only have a stereo system it
will select the stereo mix. It is a major step up in sound quality than
the current stereo version.

The second file is the 5.1 Surround Sound mix (not some 'enhanced'
version which a lot of record companies actually do and then sell it as
a surround sound remix. Ours, like the stereo, is a true and totally
new remix including ingredients never heard before.

That is why Sony Hardware have backed TWOTW 5.1 remix so they can use it as a true demonstration of what the limits of this technology can produce and will promote it as such. The listener is truly 'in' the
sound.

Anyone with a surround sound system will have that system select the
5.1 file rather than the stereo.

The new new remixes represent work started early last summer and will be completed within the next month.

2. CD 3- The Remixes 1979-2005 - these represent the best of what has been remixed through the years, some being hits, others just being
excellent renditions of different DJ/Remixers slants on my compositions
with samples and my original scores having been provided to them.

There are also a couple of new remixes never before heard.

3. CDs 4-6 - Contain rarities, out-takes, 'special' studio mixes of
musical content never before heard, and half of CD 6 being the entire
Richard Burton and other actors recorded unabridged script, much of
which has also never been heard before.

4. 1 DVD - which does recount the history of the making of the
recording, visual clips of rare video footage, and a host of other
items you would expect on a DVD of this sort along with additional
clips from the development of our CGI film not yet seen by anyone. It
is also hoping to be used in a different edited form as the base for a
tv documentary.

5. The booklet is also stunning and now up to 80 pages. It all comes
bound and is the size of a black vinyl disc.
