Ultimate Collection! (UK)

Way cool

As long as it has proper music all through.

And the price is reasonable too - a complete box set of "Enterprise" is around £200, and there are only 4 seasons of that.
 
Looks nice - Season 2 packaging for covers was a good choice - even though the Dean Stockwell image is clearly photoshopped.

Just a shame i've bought Seasons 1-4 already.....

BTW: Just like to say I WAS RIGHT, near X-Mas 07 I said there would be a set, and although it's many, many months after that.....
 
I would want to know if it includes "A Kiss with History" from the Season 1 DVD set. That's well worth seeing and it would be very disappointing if they left it out.
 
The original Play.com ad showed a 25 disc set.

This one from HMV says it is a 27 disc set.

Do we dare hope that the extra 2 discs mean added features???

Oh Boy!
 
At what point does PAL speedup come in? Could the sources they've used for this be used for US discs, or would they have to completely remaster the original materials to make them NTSC? Didn't a single R2 season feature deleted music? It'll be interesting to see if it's intact for this release. I'm just hoping it all leads to a proper, uncut US release.
 
Oh, I have to buy this. I'll wait a few months for it to go down in price (hopefully, it'll be released for half the proce in Asda).

Rasdock, only one R2 season featured replaced music. Season four. I sure hope that the soundtrack's in tact with this new boxed set.

Probably not, chances are it'll be like the Miami Vice set and just be the same season discs but in fancy single disc packaging (Woop!/ Doh'!)

And the picture having 32 discs? Probably just a standard image of a 32 disc boxset with the season 2 cover image photo-shopped on the side.

This set was due out yesterday - anyone of you UKers pick it up to see if there were any differences from the previous R2 releases?

Thanks!

It's not out for a while yet, 08/10/07 is 8th October over here. :)
 
Since I already have Seasons 1-5, the only reason I would buy this boxset would be if it had extras, and I'm talking extras, but this is Universal we're talking about, so that's really a no-hope :)

It will probably be the exact same discs, inside some nicer packaging.

Is that the Season 1/2 boxset? My set fingerprints so easily, I'm afraid of touching it half the time.

I recently watched the "Bushido" episode which guest stars none other than Dean Stockwell! Too bad he was only really in it for around 5 minutes till Castillo shot him :(
 
While I doubt the Ultimate Collection will have any new extras, I can't wait for this to come out. As I only have the first two seasons on Disc so far.

But, i'm also worried that i'll buy it only to take it home and discover it has the "missing music" versions of the episodes!

To confuse matters, if you look on the HMV website you'll see that Season One is being released (re-issued?) again on October 1st. With a completely different catalogue number.

Now i've searched and searched but can't find any information on this release. Now this might just be new packaging (I doubt it'd be new extras). But my main concern is Universal re-releasing all the seasons Region 1 style, without the music. In which case, is that what i'll be getting in the Ultimate Collection!?

Agh, the uncertainty! :banghead

I went and had a look on the Universal Playback site (I was wondering if they had released a UK version of Twin Peaks: Season 2 yet) and I couldn't find anything.

It seems that the only shows I'm interested in watching are on the Universal Playback range. Boy am I going to have to get used to having no extras.
 
Hi,

is there anyone who could tell me if there is another language than English, please?
 
I've not been able to afford it yet.

Both play.com and amazon.co.uk are advertising a box set for just under £76, but the pictures look different. The outer box shot looks the same, but play says it is a 27 disk set, and the open box looks rectangular. All the spines are shades of purple.
http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/3360393/Quantum-Leap-The-Ultimate-Collection-Series-1-5/Product.html

The amazon box is squarer, and seems to have only 14 disks in it (they could have 2 to a sleeve I guess) and there are rainbow colored spines.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Quantum-Leap-Collection-Dean-Stockwell/dp/B000SLR0BS/ref=sr_1_3/026-8106508-9880458?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1193228590&sr=1-3

What is even stranger is that the first two in the amazon box seem to have PG certificates, whilst all the play ones are 15 or 18.

HMV seem to have the multicolored box set, though it says 27 discs, so I guess they must be double sleeves (but they are charging £99.99)

I was in HMV today and saw the boxset - being the good ol' boy I am I took a picture of the set. It bears more resemblence to the Amazon image from Leaper1's link: (Sorry the quality is awful) There was no mantion on the exterior packaging of music replacement but I couldn't open it to see the individual slip-cases so it could be the case.

BTW: Also saw the Miami Vice Boxset (Fan-gasm Alert!)

I'm assuming no one still has been able to purchase it yet? Boy is it tempting for me, but the dollar-pound conversion is brutal! And I'd rather a KitchenAid Mixer for my new house in all honesty. :lol
 
I bought this set just last week, its pretty gud with 27 discs, the cheapest price I found was 59.99 off play.com and it was second hand but hey it still played the episodes =]

I was wondering if you have had a chance to review the episodes to see if there has been any music replacement, particularly for Season 4. Do the episodes have all of the original music or is some of it replaced with generic music?

Thanks much. :)
 
Hi Al or Anyone Else who has the UK Ultimate Collection,

Further to my last post, do you know if any of the episodes have music replacement? While I am interested in all of the Seasons, I am particularly curious about Season 4.

Thanks again.
 
i got this for christmas from bid tv - altogether including p & p it come to £50.

i started watching it about 6 weeks ago.

maybe some of you guys can help me out on this - in series 1-2 when he leaps at the end it is a different person from who he leaps into the programme following on from the previous episode.

is it just a production blip or a dvd blip?

Thanks.

Read the sticky threads, please.
 
just thought that i would mention that the music seems to be on this uk dvd set.

i can't remember the music that goes with which episode - but 'american pie', 'runaway' 'all i have to do is dream' - season 4, 'unchained melody' trilogy, part 2, season 5 and other songs that you have mentioned are on this dvd set.

How about the Foreigner song "I wanna know what love is"? It's from the episode "Temptation Eyes", season 4.
 
that song doesn't ring a bell as being in quantum leap - so i may have been wrong saying that all the songs were in the uk dvd set. give me a few days to check - what part of QL is it in. beginning, middle or end?

thanks!

I don't know what you mean. I've already told you that the episode's title is "Temptation Eyes" and that episode is from the fourth season. Or do you mean what part of the episode is it in? It's right in the middle (I think). It's when Sam "makes love" to Tamlyn, etc. I have the R2 sets, and the Foreigner song is replaced with generic music, but it's the only one from the entire show that gets replaced (not like the R1 sets). But I don't know if the "ultimate collection" is the same thing or what, that's why I asked.
 
So, can anyone actually confirm if the Foreigner song is included in the "ultimate collection"?

You are right Night Terror - i watched this episode last night. The Foreigner song is indeed replaced by generic music in the love making scenes.

Oh, what a shame! A bit weird that they only replaced that specific song in the UK, isn't it? I wasn't too crazy about that episode, to be honest, but that was one of the best songs they could use, in my opinion. I guess I'll have to wait for a rerun to see it properly.

it has. it is on the first disc. i watched it last night. it is a 20 minute doc filmed in 2004.
 
How is the Ultimate Collection (UK)?

Hi Y'all,

I know that this thread started a while ago, but I haven't found my answer yet, so I'm here now.

I watched QL when it originally ran and loved it. A few weeks ago, I saw a re-run (I forget which channel) of my favorite episode, MIA. I could quite put my finger on what it was, but I knew there was something major wrong with it.

I found this site, and now know it was the missing music that made the episode seem so wrong.

I decided to buy the UK set because it seems to be as close to the original as I can get. I ordered it from Amazon uk about a week ago, hoping it will come in a few more days. I live in South Carolina.

Can anyone tell me of their experiences with this set? Do you know any place that I can get a set with all the music still intact?
 
DVD's have arrived!

Hi Y'all,

It took about eight days for the set to come from Amazon UK to South Carolina. I'm thrilled with it. It will keep me occupied for a while. Very nice boxed set.
 
Thinking of getting this set to compliment my US DVDs. Does anyone have any information about what songs are changed/removed and how great the music changes are in comparison to the US releases? I'm particularly concerned about music changes in my favorite episodes, MIA and Leap Home (Parts 1 and 2).

Any details on any extra features would be greatly appreciated too!
