Archives Vol. 1 1963-1972 (Br) [Blu-ray]

This is not a review of the product but a warning about being very specific; I know the material and have no doubt it will be five-star material; I preordered and received a set promptly. Unfortuantely I was shipped the DVD version, not the Blu-Ray version; this will be replaced at no cost but take care in ordering to be very specific about this as apparently some at Amazon do not understand the difference. The Blu-Ray version has better sound resolution, better (full HD 1080p, basically) resolution, and most important interactive and updating features via IP that are not possible with regular DVD discs and players. That's why it costs more.

The extras are almost endless but the gorgeous HI-Def sound only comes to you via blu-ray and is definitely worth it. How else can you get master tape quality-plus sound....from the era this material was laid down? Don't bother with the CD version of this set and quite frankly, the Blu-ray version is that good it is worth the extra money over the DVD version; especially for die hard fans. NY has set the bar real high for all other box sets to come.
