These are three-disc sets which will each include a DVD, so I'm expecting that the hi-res 5.1 mixes from last year's Premonotions box set will be included here:

Please Don't Touch

Cool! :cool:

I bought the box so I'm set but it's nice these are available individually. I brought the box with me when I met Steve Hackett back in November and he was surprised saying it had sold out quickly. So it was nice to have that autographed.

I highly recommend Please Don't Touch and Spectral Mornings especially.

Man, I can't wait for these. I missed the box and had my fingers crossed for this. I like that it is U.S. so I have prime but if the currency depicts a UK order that it shall be. 5.1 mixes by Wilson. WOW!

Got my copies of Please Don't Touch and Spectral Mornings yesterday while I was away. I already won the Hackett box with all the remixes but I wanted the individual copies of my 2 favorite Hackett albums too. :)

Threw on Please Don't Touch last night (to make sure my settings were ok after listening to Quadio) and this album is spectacular in 5.1! Even my wife who is a casual fan of Steve remarked that the tracks that include Randy Crawford and Ritchie Havens sounded superb.
I could listen to this album all day and night.
