Just what I need, another copy of Band On The Run!

Your comment pulled me up short and made me realize how many copies of BOTR I have..
Vinyl copy from 1973 bought when it just came out
First-run CD copy from the early 1990s
25th anniversary edition
2010 deluxe edition
Just think if Paul and Linda hadn’t been robbed and the demo tapes taken, those would probably be in there somewhere. Bring on the underdubs!

Me too with all the copies! Just pulled out my 25th anniversary edition.... My eyesight struggling to see the CD2 additions.... Although this does include Helen Wheels.... But I can see the price tag... Cost $40.95 back in the day.... which was a lot, back in those days!... Sadly, these days, CD's are on their way out.... certainly cannot listen to them in a car! Hopefully the "stripped" versions make them interesting. But I won't be buying it. I pay for the streaming capability, so I will give that a go!

Have the 25th and that is enough. Hate to say it but as great as this album is I have become very tired of it. The title song and "Jet" have been played to death by radio and Paul live. I can't remember the last time I played it at home. These re-issues are just a money grab for the most part and not worth the money IMO.

My 2016 Honda CR-Z still has a CD player. I know the newer cars don’t which makes me sad!

The five disc CD player plus reliability are probably the reasons I keep driving this 2007 Toyota Camry as the original owner.
My wife, not a strong fan is probably happier as the Macca CDs are played there. Her 2020 Honda CRV is naturally devoid of a CD player. -
Underwhelming might be the best word to describe the underdubbed mix of BOTR. Not significantly different so those expressing doubt on the 50th anniversary edition are probably right to do so.

The one thing I have garnered.... A lot of us drive Hondas!... Me too....

I’ve had just about every type of Honda they make since 1997: Accord, Civic, CR-V, Odyssey, and CR-Z. Had several of each too, except only 1 CR-V and Odyssey. Had a 2003 Civic Hybrid, 2011 CR-Z hybrid, and currently a 2016 CR-Z hybrid. My mom also had a Civic and 2 Fits.

I just heard it and thought it was a lot different. But I’m still not buying the album!

I heard some of the "UnderDubbed" de-Visconti-ized" and sounds like a nice alternative indeed.
I'm a buying!
Looks like the double vinyl is already sold out through the offical store... or the first allocation of it.
Weird though, to buy the double CD it's currently showing a hefty shipping charge of nearly $12 for a cd?
I assume it's a tempoary error on the offical store site?

Me too! I love the Honda!... I am loyal to brands I like.

@njr I will probably be a buyer as well, hopefully through Amazon but isn’t up on there yet.

3 cd releases of BOTR is my limit thank you. I'll listen on Spotify/Youtube when it's available. If I'm feeling naughty I'll download. I figure since I've given quite a bit of money to MPL I won't feel guilty.

I said I was NOT buying it, so your reply to me is confusing.

Sorry, when I saw your assessment that it is significantly different, I hastily assumed you were buying it.
I understand you are NOT buying but please note that I AM. -
I bought the double vinyl with the underdub mix disc from SoundOfVinyl. First time buyers use WELCOME20 and you will receive 20% off.
I also bought the SHM-CD format from CDJapam. The SHM CDs are made with better quality material in Japan and typically sound better.

Just put in a pre-order with Amazon. Ordering the CD, one of which is the released version, the second CD is underdubbed. $21.38 total. The vinyl states it is a half-speed, same sort of thing done for Wild
Life, and costs an additional $10.00 or so. No mention of underdubbed versions.
