So the track listing on that disc begins with that early Mick Ronson version of the title track instead of tagging it on at the end. Speaking of that track, one interesting difference you should expect when putting on the Blu-ray version of Madman Across The Water 50th Anniversary is how the tracks are presented on the disc: effectively, chronologically. Recorded during the Tumbleweed Connection sessions, this is a very different and particularly special version featuring this legendary guitarist whose name some of you might recognize from his time in David Bowie’s band The Spiders From Mars during his legendary Ziggy Stardust era. That said, you can certainly still play the regular album on the Blu-ray Disc which comes in the set and once the replacement arrives you’ll be able to rock out to Mick Ronson’s fabulous and ripping solo in 5.1 Surround and Stereo. If you have a Blu-Ray and want a replacement disc here is what you have to do:
We are having the replacement Blu-Ray disc manufactured and it will be expected to ship early July. We sincerely hope that this will not spoil your enjoyment of this beautiful 50th anniversary set.Īgain, we offer our sincere apologies to everyone who has purchased the super deluxe edition CD set, and for the inconvenience it has caused. The 5.1 Madman Across The Water track featuring Mick Ronson on the Blu-ray is incorrect as it is the album version instead, which we will replace on the new disc. No other formats are affected and we will ensure the issue is corrected at no cost to you. “ Universal conveys their sincere apologies as we have discovered a problem with the super deluxe edition Blu-Ray for Elton John ’s Madman Across The Water which is released on June 10. I reached out about this to Universal Music they have acted on it professionally and quickly, releasing a formal statement yesterday on social media which I’ve re-posted here: I must point out that while reviewing this new set, early on I did notice one minor but significant mastering issue as well as an unfortunate production error on the Blu-ray Disc (hey, mistakes happen, folks).
The stereo mix sounds excellent of course, offering a nice shimmer of brightness yet decidedly rich and round.īut I confess that I am particularly fond of the surround mix and it is my choice when I want to play the album on my home theater system. Both mixes on the Blu-ray Disc in the set are offered in 96 kHz, 24-bit fidelity (PCM for stereo and DTS-HD for surround).
