This is what he tweeted a short while ago. He also tweeted the release dates of Larks Tongues in Aspic and Thick as a Brick, plus this:
"More 5.1s on the way..."

I still have the albums I bought from them. Led Zeppelin I, Blind Faith, Idlewild South, John BarleyCorn Must Die, etc.
I think you got like 6 albums free for joining helluva deal.
Of course, that's why I stuck my tongue out.

Yep, saw the price and while sad (along with the lack of DVDA-lossless) it won't deter me because TAAB has been in the #1 spot in my musical heart since the day it was first released, and just like Aqualung I will get it. Besides I will most likely get it through Amazon like i always do and get it cheaper (as the price almost always comes down) with no shipping (...although most likely at a later date...as they are almost always deleyed) but like I said with the ELP discs I am a patient man so in the end it will be worth it to me. It's friken' TAAB in 5.1, the one I have been dreaming of in 5.1 forever!

Would love to have BSS in 5.1 - but at ~$60, I'll pass. Bummer.

I have 'mixed' feelings about this (pun intended). Although I think he did ELP really well, I am disappointed in the quality of Tarkus. However, if the quality of ELP would be maintained, I would love to see the rest of the ELP catalog completed.

Mel Collins, Tony Levin and Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree drummer) play on the album with Fripp and Jakko does all vocals and keys, also plays guitar and appears to have written the lyrics and developed the material from initial improvisations with Fripp and Collins (sax). Recorded in 2011, I find the 5.1 mix and SQ excellent IMO, sounds very much like a Steven Wilson mix but his name is not in the credits. Credit is given to Jakszyk and Fripp for mixing and production, Simon Heyworth did the mastering and Neil Wilkes authored the DVD. Both 96/24 5.1 and 2.0 mixes in MLP lossless are on the DVD-A. Music is kind of jazzy prog with both songs and instrumental passages. It has really grown on me with repeated listening. This is all I've heard of Jakko's work, but based on the surround mix on this album, I think the next ELP albums should be in good hands.
