Re: Collectors Edition TSRTS

[Steve Thomson <zeppelin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I scoured the stores in Montreal for the last couple of days and found a
good soldier at the local Best Buy who was willing to dig through their
stock in the back to find a copy of the regular edition 2007 release
(other stores where I'd been had sold out the first day).

I haven't watched the full movie yet but I did watch the extras last
night. I'm still stunned. OTHAFA is so good. Ditto CD. In these and in
every menu, there seems to be beautifully restored footage that's better
quality than the movie itself. There are a lot of nice candid shots of
Bonzo with his facial expressions. In fact, all four members seem to be
very expressive. There's one of JPJ in OTHAFA where he looks hard at
work concentrating (and the bass in absolutely stunning on this new
release. So clear. So punchy but not boomy).

I just can't say enough about it. The sound is kinda maximized but not
as bad as a CD release. All instruments and voices seem very clear and
detailed.

Well done Kevin Shirley, art people and of course Jimmy, Robert, John
Paul and whatever Bonham's were involved. It's a beautiful restoration.
Damned shame you couldn't touch the movie itself.
