Anyone heard the Toshiba EMI Pink Floyds


My new flyer from Music Direct claims these new Japanese masterings are "the best digital versions we've ever heard." Has anyone heard these? There are 11 of them!

Thanks, Charlie

Listened to the "UmmaGumma" tonight. As usual, was blown away... The Floyd has always been a carefully recorded group so should you run out and scoop the new ones up?
Well, this issue is very strong sonically and certainly very quiet (low noise floor). There was no background cover included other than a blurb about Doug Sax mastering the material in 1994 (so why is it just being released now???) I don't know, if you DON'T have the albums you CAN'T go wrong with these but I wouldn't suggest ADDING these to what you already have (unless you are a collector/rabid fan, etc... (P.S. Belinda Carlisle naked in Playboy? Somebody pinch me!!!)
Warning: The Toshiba_EMI UmmaGumma outer jacket is larger than a standard CD case and therefore does not fit into my storage cabinet... Surprise!!!
