Just a heads up that Roger Walters Amused to death will be reissued on a very limited basis on double Vinyl LP and SACD.

It will apparently be cut from the original masters overseen by engineer James Guthrie who was there for the original release.

It can be pre-ordered from Diverse Vinyl in the UK. Estimated release date is October 15th. Price T.B.C.

Off Diverse vinyls web site - "Talk about a blockbuster: This is it. A very limited double LP originally released more than 20 years ago, Amused To Death is reborn on 200-gram double LP and Stereo Hybrid SACD from Analogue Productions. Amused to Death was mixed by Pink Floyd's producer/engineer James Guthrie, and now, using those same analogue tapes, he's mastering the album for SACD. And Doug Sax and Guthrie are working together to master the vinyl, to be pressed to perfection by Quality Record Pressings!"

Get your orders in quick as I think this will sell out before it's released.

My order is in...:)

No? I think it's early days yet. Still if it turns out to be scary you could always back out of a pre order.

But if you order too late and miss the boat you don't get the chance at all...:)

With the time lag and orders coming in from dealers I would imagine that there will be adequate numbers pressed. Probably less limited than the original which was probaby at least 3 or 5 thousand. Some one pointed out more originals are surfacing on ebay these days but surprisingly few are in a condition that remotely justifies the asking prices. Also beware fakes. There is a new fake that would hardly fool anyone as it neither has Columbia or CBS on the labels.

There has been a price posted for this on the Acoustic Sounds website of $49.98 which is not as scary as I first thought...:eyebrows:

The original issue was pretty darned good, so what has the remastering engineer done to tweak you lot out of your dosh?????

Well, even if he/she hasn't done anything, £32 is a lot cheaper than you can find the original LP for nowadays.

Sorry to resurrect this old thread chaps, but other than the seller discussed in this thread, does anybody have any other UK/European sellers taking pre-orders on the SACD format of the re-issue?

Hi Scott,

I want to order the vinyl from your site but your email says £41.99, website £44.99, I prefer the former. What date (providing it is actually released on 24/07) do you think you'll be able to dispatch?

Another good source Darren is Spin (http://www.spincds.com) and a link to their Amused to Death offers can be found below:

I've used them for successfully sourcing 180g vinyl for other artists which have not been available elsewhere...
