The Moving Pictures 5.1 surround sound 30th anniversary deluxe edition hit stores a couple of weeks ago and shot its way back into the Billboard 200 at #137 for the week of April 9th thanks to a slew of pre-orders. Then it promptly fell off the charts for the following week of April 16th. But it wasn't done yet! Billboard just released their chart for the week of April 23rd (thanks John at Cygnus-X1.net) and Moving Pictures is back once again - this time it has moved all the way up to #51! Quite an amazing feat for an album that released over 30 years ago. Initial reviews of the remix have been very positive; Big Picture, Big Sound gave it their highest rating of 4 stars: Outstanding. You can read all the details and find out about some other reviews in this post. The CD+DVD version of the Moving Pictures remix is available via multiple retailers but the CD+Blu-ray is only being sold exclusively through Best Buy for the first 30 days; other retailers will have the Blu-ray version on May 3rd. In addition to the 5.1 remix, the deluxe edition contains an extensive gallery with previously unreleased photos from the original recording sessions, new liner notes by music journalist David Fricke and 30th anniversary artwork by original album designer Hugh Syme. You can get more details regarding the Moving Pictures deluxe edition in this post and order your copy at Amazon (CD+DVD, CD+Blu-ray).
