This is allegedly an HD remaster. It looks awful and grainy to me for a lot of the video. Have I missed something?

None of the recent “HD remasters” are actually HD sadly. The Stay one in particular doesn’t look great. I guess they’re artificial HD rather than actual scans/upgrading from the masters
They are HD I think.
All the video clips were very grainy and don't work that great in HD as the are supposed to have a b-movie low quality look to them.....to the point in the video the actual film tape is eroded and damaged.

What a song. I still remember being blown away - before ever hearing the album - that the b-side to one of the greatest singles ever could be that good too.
Dear Customer,
It has been brought to our attention that there is a printing defect on the cover of your copy of 'Hormonally Yours' 30 Year Edition CD/DVD. This was due to an error at the printers on the initial run of stock and unfortunately we have been made aware after it has shipped. We are working hard to get you a replacement sleeve as soon as possible.
We are so disappointed this has happened - a lot of love and hard work has gone into this celebration of 30 Years of Hormonally Yours.
Please accept our apologies and thank you for understanding. We shall have news soon on your replacement sleeve and when you can expect it
Thanks,
London Records
Ddd.
There is always some f*ck-up (+ delay) with new SS product, it seems.
I hope they haven't buggered up the Blu-Ray audio exclusive from the SDE store.
Gutted the CD singles box has sold out, only found out it was being released this week.
I am so glad I did not ponder and wait before ordering this set. Hopefully, with the Royal Mail strikes I will receive mine sometime next week.
It's bonkers they were so limited.
Record companies IMO really do not have a clue anymore. For me the Singles Box set was the logical format to buy as it has everything except for the DVD which I think was a mistake along with the amount of sets available.
Does anyone remember how many units of the singles box were manufactured? I can't remember if the exact number was announced at the time.
To be fair, these are niche releases and they surely calculate how many to produce based on the number of pre-orders. If they over-estimate the demand and produce too many, that would just eat into the limited profits. So you should always snap them up when they come up for pre-order.
It would perhaps be helpful if they gave a warning to pre-order by a certain date though.

Hormonally Yours exclusive Blu Ray audio from SDE has arrived. In a very nice slipcase too. Wasn't expecting that.
I’ve been hammering the blu-ray all afternoon. It has a correct version of Are We in Love Yet on it (hooray).
The 5.1 really opens up the mixes and I heard loads of extra details. I think that some alternate vocal tales were used? Or maybe the mixing makes some background vocals more prominent e.g Marcella’s line leading into the bridge.
I also got the single box and haven’t even begun to get my teeth into that. Hoping desperately that the rinsing of fans on these releases are financing new recording sessions!!

Yes, the slipcase was a nice surprise - and almost chucked the packaging in the bin when I spotted something else - a slipcase for the Tears For Fears Tipping Point Blu-Ray! Gifts that just keep on giving!
I wasn't the only one surprised by that then!
My new challenge: how to keep the white sleeve spotless and dust free.
The atmos mixes are up on iTunes if anyone is interested.
