From Steve Wilson's webpage:
Amazon have now listed the 3 disc edition of Caravan's In the Land of Grey and Pink, so I guess it's now official - this is out in June on Universal. I don't know the exact track listing, but I did a new stereo mix and a 5.1 mix, plus mixed a whole slew of out-takes and alternate versions from the master tapes. By the way, this is not the "very famous 70's progressive album" I referred to in my earlier post (I wouldn't describe Caravan as very famous, though I personally love them).
Steve doing a 5.1 mix of this great prog album? oh boy! And how about that "very famous 70's prog album" he's also working on?
Thank God for Steve Wilson!

Wow Steven Wilson is involved, now I'm in ! Every prog band will end up in PT 5.1 sound, he he
He is truly amazing at surround sound. He seems to consistently know where to put everything in the mix. A lot of surround producers/engineers just separate various sounds into different speakers, but the overall sound doesn't work. I'm definitely in on this Caravan reissue if it includes a Steven Wilson 5.1 mix.

Caravan is an excellent band. JohnG and Ranasakawa, report back as soon as you hear these. I have already two version of this album but if you guys give the thumbs up I'm in. With Steve Wilson it's got to be killer!

REVIEW
**** out of *****
I agree with other reviews about the sticker across the cover instead of the usual slip case, they are trying to save money all the time. The music inside is what counts and it has never sounded better. I was very happy with the 5.1 mix. It is up to the usual Steven Wilson standards with the instruments well balanced in the mix and sounding great!
The booklet does contain some great info and is a nice read. The bonus material is enjoyable as is the 2 additional video clips. I can't complain about the price for what you get.

The Caravan "In The Land of Grey & Pink" 3-disc set & the Black Sabbath "Born Again" 2-disc set both arrived today, and I'll play them tonight. In both cases, removing Universal's wraparound sticker peeled off part of finish from the packaging, in the case of the Black Sabbath, surprisingly, since the package was printed on semi-matte paper.

If you're not nice
No, it's Dolby Digital. It still sounds good, IMO, but that might be more a function of Wilson's surround mixes. I haven't listened to the stereo mixes on the DVD.
