[^ This is NOT correct > see more details below with an asterisk & also see the double asterisk for details on obtaining a 'fixed' copy of the Blu-ray. This box set Blu-ray was supposed to contain the Mick Ronson 5.1 mix from the 2004 SACD of Tumbleweed Connection as the 1st Track presented on the Blu-ray & then followed by the full album. But this box set Blu-ray incorrectly contains 2 instances of the same 5.1 mixed track from the 2004 SACD of Madman Across The Water > as both the 1st Track of the Blu-ray and within the 5.1 Album itself]

Box Set Book (see picture attached to this release) also states:

* Blu-ray contains a mispress where BD-1-1 and BD-2-1 is mistakenly the Album Version of Madman Across The Water, rather than the Mick Ronson Version as listed in the booklet. Times shown above reflect the correct timing of the first track for both audio sections on the mispressed disc.
** UMC will issue replacement discs to rectify the issue, purchase details request should be sent to [email protected] .
