Default New Roxy Music Box Set
Anyone else get this yet? I've only done a few random listens, but it seems to be considerably better than the 1999 HDAD versions. And the packaging is excellent. Could have added a book, but I usually only glance at those once.

Just finished Avalon, and I think these might be the best remasters I've eve heard. More detail, texture to individual instruments, deeper soundstage.... Listening to Manifesto now.

Tempting. I'm a big Roxy fan, though, Avalon is perhaps my second least favorite record of 'em all. I have all the recordings on LP, but I'm weighing my options. lol

Do you have the Avalon SACD? Wondering how that compares. That album ranks as one of my top 10 favorites.
