ELO-40 PROMOs



It appears the advance promos for the 40th Anniversary edition of 'Electric Light Orchestra' have been unleashed.  UK release day for the real thing comes 12 March 2012 on CD/DVD and vinyl.
Meanwhile, Spin CDs is saying the album has been remastered again...
ELO’s eponymous debut album has been painstakingly remastered for its 40th Anniversary and expanded with over two hours of bonus material. Now spanning a CD/DVD double, the album includes the original Quad mix in DTS 96kHz/24 bit 4.1 surround sound, the original stereo master in high-resolution 96kHz/24 bit PCM, the original ‘10538 Overture’ promo film and extensive liner notes charting the history of the release.
If there's a substantial improvement over the 2001 edition, I will be surprised... unless they are just referring to the DVD...

Thanks c-eling...

Has anyone been able to decode the full-sized images on Amazon? I've not been able to find any higher-res images of this...

Jer just received my copy today, the cd portion is indeed the 2001 remaster and the 5 bonus are from the 2005 remaster as indicated in the booklet, I posted the dynamic range info over at steve hoffmans forum, I haven't been able to listen to it yet, I have company over,lol
