Pre-order only at the SDE shop • Specially priced bundle

The pre-order window for the two Bryan Ferry albums on SDE blu-ray – 1987’s classic Bête Noire and 1993’s follow-up, Taxi, closes today.

Both releases feature Bob Clearmountain Dolby Atmos and 5.1 mixes alongside hi-res original stereo mixes. Additionally, each offers a generous selection of bonus tracks (stereo-only) including remixes of the various singles.

This region-free blu-ray audio of Bête Noire features the following audio streams:

  • Bête Noire 2025 5.1 Mix (48/24)
  • Bête Noire 1987 Original Stereo Mix (Bob Ludwig 1999 remaster) (48/24)

Additionally, it features 12 bonus tracks (stereo-only) comprising remixes and edits from the original singles

  1. Limbo – Brooklyn Mix 3.59
  2. The Right Stuff – 12″ Dance Mix 6.37
  3. Bête Noire – Instrumental 5.06
  4. Kiss And Tell – 7″ Edit 4.08

Bête Noire is #63 in the ongoing SDE Surround Series and comes packaged in the same deluxe hardcover media-book packaging used for the Roxy Music’s Avalon and it ships with a free, collectible SDE Surround Series slipcase.

Taxi on SDE exclusive blu-ray

As with Bête Noire, the region-free blu-ray audio features a Dolby Atmos Mix by Bob Clearmountain. It also includes a 5.1 Mix and the original 1993 mix in hi-res stereo.

Audio streams on the Taxi SDE exclusive blu-ray:

  • Taxi 2025 Dolby Atmos Mix (48/24)
  • Taxi 2025 5.1 Mix (48/24)
  • Taxi 1993 Original Stereo Mix (Bob Ludwig 1999 remaster)(48/24)

Additionally, it features 11 bonus tracks (stereo-only) comprising remixes and edits from the original singles. These remixes are actually very good and it’s worth noting that the ‘Sub Aqua Mix’ and instrumental version of ‘I Put A Spell On You’ are released physically, for the first time, on this blu-ray. ‘Are You Lonesome Tonight?’ was featured on the soundtrack of Honeymoon in Vegas (and was a Japan bonus track on the original album). This blu-ray is effectively the only expanded version of Taxi ever released!
