Just pre-ordered my HSCp2 DBV

[MCScoobyT]

The Deluxe Banquet Version has been pre-ordered! TopSpin says it ships on Black Friday, we will see if they can deliver on time this go round... At least I now can sleep-in on Black Friday (like I usually do)!

[bigfatlove06]

Topspin gets one last shot from me, so I ordered one. Sadly, it cost me $34.04 more than it did when I pre ordered it from here http://www.vvinyl.com/v/beastie-boys-hot-sauce-committee-part-2-deluxe-edition/1927 and from what I can see reward for the difference of $34.04 is this T-shirt http://www.ebay.com/itm/290629169252 If I sound bitter it is because I bought 3 copies of the "Deluxe Vinyl" and waited weeks beyond when others received theirs (had to buy one off of ebay to post on the site).

[Micodin]

Thad full of turkey getting his sleep on.

[Rodie]

I'm tempted but I'm just going to try and score one on Black Friday. $100 (after shipping) is harder to swallow than... well whatever it will cost in store, especially considering that I have no interest in that t-shirt.

Pre-ordered!

Give Top Spin more money!!!!................................not a hope in hell, they are nothing but rip off merchants. Their facebook page is full of people complianing about missing items and bad customer service.

[prof_d_boiz]

UGHH.com is offering this (minus the T-shirt) for $59.97. I have mine pre-ordered through them, before the announcement from beastieboys.com came out.

Check it out at http://www.undergroundhiphop.com/beastie-boys-hot-sauce-committee-pt-2-deluxe-edition-book-blu-ray-dvd/CAP79962LP/.

I want the book and the behind-the-scenes footage of FFYRR, but what am I gonna do with more vinyls and CDs that I already own?

I don't think I'm getting it.

Am I bad fan?

(I feel only slightly guilty.)

I pre-ordered from Vintage Vinyl too (thanks) so I can't really see the point in ordering from Topspin for the sake of the shirt. I'm guessing everything else will be the same.

Well, you certainly are not going to claim the #1 spot...that's already taken.

And I wouldn't be surprised if after the banquest version is gone they serve up a buffet style and you can just get the book.

I'm with you.

I want the book and footage too, but I don't want 12 versions of HSC2. I bought the deluxe package when the album came out. I'm not paying another $100 for repackaged material.

It seems like a money grab.

I remember when the beasties released Aglio E Olio for $9. It was cheap and new material.

Now they are repackaging old material and charging a fortune. I would be all for this new blue ray package if it was released 10 years from now, but I just spent $100 6 months ago on basically the same thing.

I guess the record biz ain't what it used to be and people have families to feed.

[Jiberish]

Beastie Boys grew up to be George Lucas.

[Documad]

I think I finally hit the wall. That last deal with topspin did me in.

[Micodin]

Topspin can eat a dick.

They ain't getting my paper.

[MCScoobyT]

Beastie Boys grew up to be George Lucas.

Love this, since Star Wars is the only other thing that gets into my pockets as easy as the Beastie Boys.

I think I only wanted this because it is the 1st time the B-Boys have release an LP on DVD or Blu-Ray, right? Have they done 5.1 stereo mixes before, (maybe on the reissues, can't remember).

I'm sure I will only listen to it a few times, like I did with the 1st faux-deluxe HSCp2 (on the white vinyl) and then it will just sit around, as I continue to listen to the Hot Sauce over and over again digitally.

[Bradleystp]

I would love to get the book, and the Blu-ray, but I cannot pay another $100 for the same album again. I just can't do it.

And if it is anything like the last "Limited Collectors Edition", it will be available at Best Buy for $25 in a month.

[brooklyndust]

Oh word. I've never really messed with the dvd that much.

[bigfatlove06]

Solid Gold Hits DVD includes all 15 tracks remastered in 24bit Dolby 5.1 surround.

[Turchinator]

the book and shirt make the package pretty sweet...

there's another great photo of Yauch laughing it up with Seth Rogen and Elijah Wood featured on the main page

[Jiberish]

I'd pay 25 bucks for the book.

[JoLovesMCA]

I am gonna get it. I want the book and that shirt. Although I hope it's my browser right now but it won't let me select size on the shirt to continue my purchase. :rolleyes:

[Rodie]

Rodie you're 2 posts away from 666!

Oh snap I'd better make the next one count so I can retire afterward.

It's funny how many people just want the book I'll honestly probably just give it one look through and never mind it again. I just want the 5.1 mixes new tracks and remixes and the videos on blu ray

[samiam]

got mine too. if it is any consolation the HSC2 screw up wasn't topspin but the actual place that did the shipping. i guess the boys got the message though cuz they fired that place and moved to a different fulfillment house. i know the person that was fired.

[Bradleystp]

I wasn't as upset about the delay in shipping (hey, those types of things happen) as I was with the fact they expected you to wait until you got the download card in the mail before you could download the album. That should have been an immediate e-mail at 12:00am that morning.

They did fix the problem and send the download link a day later, but the damage was already done by that point.

The fact that the white vinyl with bonus 7' was available at Best Buy for $20 didn't sit right with me either. That made the T-shirt worth quite a bit of money!

[SoundScientist]

Luckily, I already have the tshirt...got it when they did the early bird FFYRR premier here in Toronto. I won it through some newspaper here (EXCLAIM I believe) and kinda sweet talked one of the girls working there to swap me a Beastie Boys poster I'd made for one of the tshirts...so, I'll probably pass on this one. I've already got the Delux vinyl, mp3s, flacs, and CDs...

Let me know how awesome the Behind the scenes footage is...maybe I can be persuaded....2 tShirts wouldn't be THAT bad I suppose. lol

Is this just to help Topspin?

[Micodin]

It was either get this set (which I have almost of already) or buy this G Shock watch I've been eye fucking for the past weeks.

I pulled the trigger and bought the watch.

I think the only version of HSC I'd consider buying in the near future would be Part One (if it ever came out and it won't)...

I feel like buying the Best Buy edition, iTunes version for the vids, & the vinyl... I did my part.

I love the record, but I gotta move on.

But having a a record I have multiple copies of and 2 t-shirts (and a iron-on) that I don't wear. Sorry, love the album artwork but the faces are mad ugly. I've got a zillion Beasties tees I'd rock before those.

So, yeah. there you have it.

I would like to pick it up. But, I don't need it. My OCD/have to buy everything the Beasties put out is in the past. I purchase more selectively now.

It doesn't make me less the fan.

Just a fan that already splurged more than once and has some extra cash in his pocket for skipping out on this one.

[FunkyHiFi]

Oh man, I hope those surround mixes are real surround mixes in other words made from the multitracks, because those can make a track into a very different & very cool listening experience compared to stereo!

As far as the 5.1 mixes on the Anthology dvd set, to me they sound like someone, probably at Capitol I bet, took the stereo tracks and ran them through some DSP software to generate a "surround" mix, which ended being the worst kind IMO i.e. boring & vague ambience from the rear speakers, which anyone with a surround receiver can do themselves by hitting the club/hall/etc buttons. :(

Enjoyable surround mixes OTOH, well the kind me and most other surround music fans enjoy at least, place specific instruments and certain backing vocals all throughout the room, creating a "bubble" of music. Kinda like taking a bath in sound. ;)

Here are some examples of such mixes, usually called immersive mixes, some still for sale and others available.....out there:

Flaming Lips
Medeski, Martin and Wood
Linkin Park
Moody Blues - look for the DTS-CD versions which contain the original 70s quadraphonic mixes, but beware of fake "upmixed" versions
Beck (Sea Change and Guero)
The Doors
R.E.M.
Pink Floyd DSOTM quadraphonic version
BT's This Binary Universe

Lots more reviews here. (http://www.quadraphonicquad.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?45-Surround-Music-Polls)

BTW mixing into surround (using multitracks) can get pretty costly, which probably added to the price of this set.

[bigfatlove06]

All of the 5.1 mixes (Solid Gold Hits, AIFST, Criterion Collection) so far have not been from multitrack "stems". Not to get too technical, but the only Beastie tracks that I have seen with multitracks are the ones for video games (RB3, DJ Hero, etc) and the ones they posted on the official site as "mixers" (Intergalactic, Gratitude, maybe another I can't remember right now). The ones on the site were streaming audio, so you could only capture the audio through playback recording, but the RB3 files were .moog files and that rocked. So when you mention mixing into surround, is that different than the RB3 .moog files we have seen?

[FunkyHiFi]

^ Sorry, I'm not sure what a .moog file is. :o But when I wrote "from the multitracks" I was referring to the actual individual tracks created in the studio for each instrument & vocal, which I assume with this last album was done using PCM, though they could have been analog (or a combination of the two) since lately that method is enjoying an upswing in popularity.

You did your part, if I'd gotten the first deluxe version I'd feel the same way but I just bought the CD release day at Target for 8 bucks so I have no problem shelling out some extra buckage for the deluxe version.

Yep. We are talking about the same thing. mogg files are multitrack Ogg Vorbis files which completely isolate each individual element of the entire composition into mono tracks. I have only ever seen beastie tracks mixed this way for the purpose of video games, or the mixers that were part of the re-issue pages. My guess is that the DVD was not done this way because none of the previous commercially available 5.1 mixes have been. I know that they COULD do it that way if they chose because Make Some Noise was featured as downloadable content for Rock Band 3, so they have the stem tracks you are referring to. If they did mix it that way it would make for a much more enjoyable listen for audiophiles without a doubt. That would (for me anyway) be a dream come true. It would mean that we could silence the vocals and hear an instrumental, silence the instruments and hear the acapellas, isolate the drums (or any other individual component) from the mix and use it to remix. The B-boys have always been good about providing fans with a lot of bonus remixes, and ancillary content, but they haven't quite been on par with many of their contemporaries in terms of giving access to the fans to multitracks. If they do happen to take a step in that direction with this DVD it would be a most welcomed surprise.

[FunkyHiFi]

If they did mix it that way it would make for a much more enjoyable listen for audiophiles without a doubt.Not to continue to write more off-topic stuff in this particular thread, but just wanted to say that a good surround mix is not really related to sound quality i.e. "for audiophiles" but rather is related to the quality of the listening experience created by the extra channels vs. the relative flatness of stereo. That's because imo surround music can be delivered using a lossy format like Dolby Digital and still provide an enveloping/enjoyable experience. It would be a better experience, relatively speaking, if a lossless format was used, even plain ol' 44.1kHz/16bit PCM because finer details would be more apparent, but that is just a bonus to me.

As far as the surround mixes themselves, I'm just talking about being able to listen to the completed mixes done by the BBs or whoever they hired to make them. :) Though I know what you're referring to: when the Beatles' LOVE 5.1 surround dvd-audio package came out back in 2006 (CD+dvd-audio disc, still being sold right now*), I read that a lot of people used the separate channels to make their own mixes. Hearing the vocals on certain tracks isolated to just the center channel w/no added reverb is an eerie but very cool experience, as if Paul or Ringo was singing right there in front of you!


*dvd-audio discs contain formats like Dolby Digital that conventional dvd players can play; anyway, this is another well done surround title - and I'm not saying this just because it's the Beatles - with different types of mixes from gently ambient to full-blown immersive/aggressive mixes with moving elements like in "I Am The Walrus"

[JoLovesMCA]

BB's posted that it's sold out. Hope everybody that wanted it was able to do so. ;)

Your right... Audiophile isn't really the right word for what I meant. It isn't the sound quality that so much interests me as having the individual mono tracks.

[FunkyHiFi]

Well so far I can find only one person who has listened and posted their impression of the 5.1 mixes.....and it wasn't good :(: scroll down to post #14. (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1367376).

Maybe the BBs simply don't like surround music - I will admit that many music fans think it's unnatural or gimmicky - but the people at Capitol do, and did the next best thing (I hesitate to use the word "best" but oh well) and used software to add the ambient surround channels to the stereo mix? Unfortunately this just reinforces the idea that surround music is barely different than stereo and a waste of time.

[MCScoobyT]

The 5.1 sounds cooler to me (then the stereo mix). I have my turntables and Blu-Ray hooked up to the same receiver, so I've heard both mixes off the same surround sound 6 speaker + a sub woofer system, sitting in the same recliner, ya da ya da ya da....

I liked the passion pit shuttle remix too! This is the first place we could of heard that one... right?

The only thing that is missing is some exclusive content, say the original TMR vid or a low budget lab video for Tadlock's or something... this package just need one thing like that to make it proper.

[FunkyHiFi]

^ does the surround mix sound like what was described on that other forum I linked to i.e. just subtle reverb in the rear channels? Because that can be duplicated by a receiver's own DSP feature (the buttons labeled hall, cub, church, etc).

Front Left and Front Right Channels are the Stereo Mix
Center Channel is Vocals Only
Sub Woofer is low frequency only
Back Left And Back Right vary from track to track, but on some tracks are isolated muti-tracks (like the keyboards in Make Some Noise).

I don't know what passes the test as an aggressive mix to connoisseurs, but there isn't a lot of panning between the rear channels and such. All of the tracks are done differently though, so clearly the weren't just run through a digital processor. Oddly enough, it appears that the remixes got more of a special 5.1 treatment. I'm with MCScoobyT though. Shit sounds nice from my vantage point.

As far as surround mixing style itself, it's more a matter of preference rather than quality. Most surround fans like myself enjoy what are called aggressive and/or immersive mixes. Immersive = fully surrounded by music (which can include simple ambience but is not limited to that); aggressive = moving elements though sometimes this also means instruments placed in conspicuous locations (e.g. on Medeski, Martin and Wood's dvd-audio disc, the drum set starts in the front right corner and extends to about the middle of the "wall" on the listener's right).

And there are varying levels of aggressive/immersive mixes: the Flaming Lip's Yoshimi Battles The Pinks Robots and Linkin Park's Reanimation are very probably two of the most extreme examples......then at the other end of the scale is say Donald Fagen's The Nightfly and Simple Minds' Once Upon A Time.

And in the middle is something like Sigur Rós' Heima dvd-video (http://www.quadraphonicquad.com/forums/showthread.php?8920-Sigur-Ros-quot-Heima-quot-DVD-DTS-5-1) or BT's This Binary Universe. IIRC N.E.R.D.'s In Search Of dvd-audio is supposed to be aggressively mixed but I've never heard it so cannot offer an opinion on it; same with Ludacris' Chicken-n-Beer.

An example of a mix I don't particularly like is the 5.1 version of DSOTM released on hybrid sacd* in 2003 (you can still buy this - it's the 30th anniversary version with the blue cover). Has some aggressive parts but is too "gentle" most of the time IMO. OTOH the quad version mixed in 1973 by Alan Parsons (http://www.stereosociety.com/FourSides.shtml) is much more fun, and can be found on that crazy expensive Immersion boxset. The Beach Boy's Pet Sounds surround mix is also quite gentle and rather....gauzy.....and while I liked it (because the music itself is rather dreamy), many people absolutely hated it.

(Not) fun factoid: Eric Johnson's Ah Via Musicom was released on the dvd-audio format and like many people I noticed its mix was "messy", strange and the music itself sounded....different. Turned out no one asked Eric about remixing that awesome album into surround and the people at Capitol did it without his knowledge, IIRC using practice parts never intended for use on the completed album, out of phase tracks and other techniques that added up to a massive disappointment for just about everybody. Eric was so upset when he finally learned about this - they actually allowed people to get their money back - he sent out a mass email to his fans apologizing for it and said he would eventually remix it into surround form himself, but that was nearly ten years ago..........

* this type of disc has a stereo CD layer for CD players, and another layer (the "Super Audio" portion) that contains the high resolution surround and stereo tracks which a sacd player can play. The optical interaction between these two layers is why these discs have a vaguely gold look to them.

If anyone wants to read advice about creating surround music, written by several of the best people in that business, you can download this semi-technical white paper from the Grammy site: "Recommendations for Surround Sound Productions" (http://www.grammy.org/files/pages/SurroundRecommendations.pdf). It also contains some good advice on how to play it back properly at home (a system set up for movies can play it back quite well but for absolute best playback there are some little "tweaks" that are needed).

BTW quite a few newer cars, especially certain models from GM and Acura, can play dvd-audio and DTS-CDs.

Another review of the surround mix, post #11 (http://www.quadraphonicquad.com/forums/showthread.php?15186-Beastie-Boys-Hot-Sauce-Committee-Part-Two-5-1-Blu-ray&p=138213#post138213). I agree with him about using Beck's Guero surround mix, done by Elliot Scheiner one of the best in the business, as an example of an "appropriate" mix for the BB's kind of music: it's very active i.e. includes moving elements but in a tasteful manner and is fully immersive - I know, I've owned the disc they're on for five years.

BTW those mixes are contained on the deluxe version of Guero, which contains a book, a CD with seven remixes and a dvd-audio disc - to see the Dvd-Audio logo on this disc you literally almost need a magnifying glass - which also contains a trippy CGI video for each track and these also include the surround mixes in the Dolby Digital format.....this all means these can be seen and heard using a plain ol' dvd player (connected to a surround system). BTW some less expensive players might have issues with the videos: the U.K. art collective called D-Fuse (http://www.dfuse.com/) - look under "Projects" - was enlisted to do them and they use a lot of video RAM because of their special user customization features which sometimes can cause some players to pixelate, stutter or freeze up.

I want the book and the behind-the-scenes footage of FFYRR, but what am I gonna do with more vinyls and CDs that I already own?

I don't think I'm getting it.

Am I bad fan?

(I feel only slightly guilty.)

They have a "Book Only" option up on the main site for $69.99.

I love this book. Just opened it up and haven't explored the dvds yet, but one thing I found interesting is the beer cans labeled 'nonethewiser'. I could list a hundred more things but one photo I Love is ted danson and his wife mary steenbergen. Another is adam h catching up with amy poehler.


And yet another is adrock showing elijah wood the proper technique for expressive hands while rapping into a camera.

Yauch looks great and it is amazing he got to work with all of his favorite actors in the biz. It looks like this project was really good for him.

Can't wait to see what happens with the beastie boys in 2012.

Does the book only option come with the DVD/Blu? I know that seems like a silly question, but the pic shows the disks.

[MCScoobyT]

yes, just not the tee.

[Bradleystp]

Thanks! I thought so, but I figured I better ask.
