Titles in this section are TBA/TBC titles – these might not have a firm RD yet, maybe they turn out to be just 2.0 or the 5.1 mix might not be up to QQ standards eventually; let's confirm this first before these get moved to the main release list.

Other titles (rumoured to be in the making) can be found in @rtbluray's thread Looking forward to 2021.
Thank you @steelydave for conferring with me on the new layout!

 

[Sashaaa]

I'll be dropping my debut full length on a label and everything this year (hopefully by the mid summer). Planning to do a Quad Mix and 5.1 Surround mix, and gonna try to do a limited edition blu ray (24bit 96khz Lossless). That's all I'm allowed to say for now.

The little tidbit which caught my eye is that George Harrison's ALL THINGS MUST PASS was completely remixed and will be reissued THIS SPRING with no further indication that it will include a Surround Remix! Hmmmm!

Let the SPECULATION begin!

 

[haikubass]

Let the SPECULATION begin!

Fingers crossed there's a positive confirmation soon - btw we've already got 2 dedicated threads to ATMP:

Hi Garry, it's a small world...I worked with John Carver on a sunday night show at 3PBSFM in 1993/94 and you were on our show talking about (I think) digital editing..I still have all the tapes of the shows I did !!

Ha! Forgive me if I have only the vaguest of memories of doing so

 

[ChristopherLees]

yes well 27 years is quite a while.!. I think one of the topics was digital editing ...I think using dat machines at the ABC FM classical department..and it was around the time you were experimenting with putting (I think) a gain booster on the stations transmitter, around the time they did some deal on transmitting power with a supermarket chain(at this point my memory gets very hazy)

 

[ChristopherLees]

getting back to music I bought Garry's music and it's really well recorded and the surround is great.Music reminds me of Kraftwerk.

 

[Patrick Cleasby]

We can take The Underfall Yard off the list. Cancelled due to *****-related financial strictures unfortunately. Greg told me on Monday. Just announced. Maybe later on a box set...

The john Mayall box set surely would be great, but it is just too expensive.

 

[esimms86]

I like Mayall but I’m not an overwhelming dedicated fan. I honestly would never find the time to listen to 35 Mayall CD’s, even given that some of them are CD singles. I have the Clapton Beano album, A Hard Road with Peter Green, The Turning Point so I’m all set.

Thanks, sorted - but the mix is done, right? I for one hope things are going to look brighter when the new album is ready.
