In viewing the Acoustic Sounds site for upcoming new releases, I noticed a scheduled release date of April 17, 2015 for Sparkle in the Rain on Blu-ray.

It may mean the problems on the Stereo and 5.1 mixes have been corrected for this release.

Good catch and question Rick. I wrote to Acoustic Sounds and they will answer me on Monday.
Here is what I wrote:
Question regarding Blu Ray Sparkle In The Rain.
There are known issues of poor quality pressing with the first Blu Ray release. These issues where told to the public that they would be corrected with a new pressing. Is your April 17th release the corrected copy?

Good news, Acoustic Sounds has written back to me and says:

"Thank you for your order. Yes, when they arrive they will be corrected copy.

Thanks and have a great day!"

Even though I really didn't order, I still think I will hold off until I hear some confirmations from Netters.

Hey there,

Has anybody received their replacement disc yet?

I noticed on Steve Hoffman Forum a post dated May 6th by Plan 9 (Mastering Engineer) that corrected discs have been approved.

The Discs will have to be manufactured so actual shipments are probably some time off.

Acoustic Sounds has it listed as Back Ordered.

Thanks for the update, Rick.

Do you know if there will be a US address in which to exchange the disc for a new one?

I purchased mine over a month ago from Germany and it wouldn't be worth it for me to return the disc and try to obtain a new one.

Ralph,

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I originally ordered from Amazon.uk third party vendor. I requested a return on defective product plus return shipping cost. Vendor told me to keep defective disc and refunded me including my initial shipping cost.

There must be some contact point to do an exchange when new discs are available. Try obtaining information from a site like Burning Shed.

Sorry unable to be more helpful.

Rick

Thanks for the uptdate!



@ Rammie, on Superdeluxeedition.com there is a whole topic devoted to this. http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/news/universal-music-to-replace-faulty-simple-minds-box-set-dvds/
In the update the runner if the site stated that it will not be necessary to return the discs. You can (see the address below) but you do not have to.
There is also an email address provided, where you can get this confirmed and contact Universal for a replacement.
Hope that helps.

My replacement copy just arrived!

The new disc is predominantly fawn coloured whereas the original is more cream coloured. Apart from that however, they look almost identical.

I put it on for a brief spin and although I never played the original, it doesn't sound collapsed into mono at all regarding stereo and surround mixes, as the original reportedly was.

I'll rip it later for playback but now, it's lunchtime after some sunny cycling :)

Thanks for the update Ear. I just emailed them and as proof of purchase included the bar code on the BD~A case. Hope that suffices. I did notice that it said DVD~A replacement but took a chance anyway requesting a replacement BD~A (although I wouldn't mind the DVD~A 5.1 w/o having to spring for the box set).
