I have recently acquired the Pink Floyd Immersion Box Set and I have to tell you that I think that a Floyd fan will really enjoy this.
I am not a reviewer or a critic and I don't normally "endorse" products but all of you know what a Floyd fan that I am.
Disc 1 - CD Album digitally remastered by James Guthrie (do we need yet another remaster? With the MFSL, the 40th Anniversary, ... I don't think so but others may
appreciate it.
Disc 2 - CD The November 1974 Wembley concert recording by the BBC of The Dark Side Of the Moon. The famous BBC 11-16-1974 concert is included (without "Echoes") so I will have to locate and begin removing the unofficial releases that have already been posted here presently (hint, hint).
Disc 3 - DVD (Audio Only)
James Guthrie 2003 5.1 Surround Mix (previously released only on SACD) in standard resolution audio at 448 kbps
James Guthrie 2003 5.1 Surround Mix (previously released only on SACD) in high resolution audio at 640 kbps

My favorite aspect of this release is this early alternate mix of the album. Though the similarities to the final product abound there are enough differences to make it seem as though you are listening to it "again like the first time".
