The surround mix of Rush MP with lossless audio is on the 2011 CD+DVD(-
A :-) and CD+Bluray Deluxe Editions. On Avax the surround mix is only
Dulby.

I bought the DVD version for £15.93 (total) at Amazon UK in April.
That's OK for me.

That 2112 + Moving Pictures combo is a documentary, not a high res/
surround remaster.
The Moving Pictures Blu-Ray + CD is the new remaster and 5.1 mix. If
you saw it for $15 (which is comparable to what you paid for Mojo)
what are you complaining about? I paid $21 to have it on release day.
Or am I misunderstanding something? Are they charging more for Moving
Pictures? I think I'm misunderstanding your point.

You missed out when it was new; At Best Buy I bought the DVD-A pkg for
$17.99 and the Blu Ray version for $19.99.
Unfortunately these are rare releases and priced accordingly. If there
was a rack of 50 titles maybe they'd be $15.00. Untiil then just shop
harder!

I got mine for GBP9.16 (about $14 Australian) from Amazon UK sans
VAT. Got 3 copies so they added to GBP25 and got free shipping as
well!

I have mixed feelings about the moving pictures. I was really jazzed when I picked it up but like all band member remasters (Alex) it seemed to put the guitars up front and put the bass and drums back too much. I loved playing with the mogg files and seeing what a true center point I was abel to create. Same with the 21-12 moggs. I would love to hear a Permanent Wave DVD-A! Of even Signals imagine Countdown!!!
