Latest Stones ‘From the Vault’ sets currently offer great value.
Now seems as good a time as any to get your orders in for The Rolling Stones‘ recently announced ‘From The Vault’ release because these are a bargain at present on the UK Amazon.
The Marquee Club Live in 1971 is available as a standalone SD blu-ray and this is under ten pounds. The blu-ray features restored visuals and audio newly mixed by Bob Clearmountain, including a 5.1 mix.
There is no blu-ray combo option available, but remember this footage isn’t truly HD being upscaled for the blu-ray (hence ‘SD’ blu-ray). That means that the CD+DVD options or the LP+DVD options are reasonably attractive since you’re not really missing out on much in terms of the visuals.
The LP+DVD is an extraordinarily low £12 on Amazon UK at present and the CD+DVD is a bit cheaper still at a shade over £11 (note: Amazon have mislabelled this as DVD+LP but it’s definitely the DVD+CD).
If you want to tick all the boxes you could pick up all three of these sets giving you benefit of DTS-HD Master Audio sound on the blu-ray (region free), and the full flexibility of owning the audio on LP and CD and you’d have the DVD as well. That lot would be less than £33!
From The Vault: The Marquee Club Live in 1971 is released on 22 June. Prices correct at time of writing (6.30pm 28/4/15).
