We're still awaiting content details, but the Amazon UK pre-order link is active now, and as WAN might imagine the price is considerably cheaper than the USA -- about $40 cheaper at the moment:

i will gladly follow your lead, rick... i've been comparing and buying from amazon.co.uk, .de, .fr, and .es for years.
this will likely be the only SM deluxe box set that i'll be purchasing. as for me, this and the recently issued 3cd anthology will suffice nicely. oh... and all of those multiple cd-single "themes" sets... oh... and the gorgeous colored vinyl edition of New Gold Dream... oh... etc.

i've always ADORED this album (as you may already know). i replaced the original cd of this with the remastered 2003 edition - which i thought was quite nice and i'd give it an A-. imagine my chagrin earlier today as i eagerly opened-up my box set and popped-in that cd to listen to the new 2016 remaster. and what did i hear? a quiet, muddy, and dim reincarnation remastering that i'd rate a B-. i'm selling my box-set and keeping my 2003 remaster. as for the rarities: my 12" singles and "Themes" boxes will suffice. i'm actually hoping that others out there who've bought this new box find it to be extraordinary. honestly, i hope your ears hear it differently than do mine.

I still haven't received my box yet. Out of curiosity, who is given mastering credits?

mastering was by Andrew Walter at Abbey Road.
ADDENDUM: after a side-by-side comparison between the 2003 and the 2016 masters, i can hear little dfference. so... given that, i will give both masters a B+, and chalk-it-up to unreal expectations. my apologies.

I have the box, arrived during the week. I'm enjoying it except there are many versions of basically the same song. I would have hoped for more out-takes and videos. The 5.1 mix has vocals up front a bit more than I'd like but it's enjoyable.
