So glad you are on board, and my most pessimistic pov was not to be.
Lawyers.
FR, what about the PURE AUDIO logos? IMO, necessary to distinguish them from blu ray video discs! And the very fact they are enclosed in Super Audio CD cases, will deter joe Q.Public from thinking they are SACDs!
YES!
That's a very nice mention. The forums and our exciting threads was a great way to get this batch some surround lift-off. And now 6/23 the press kicks in and helps skyrocket the series as an "audiophile" attraction. I like that way that they are not shying away from (mentioning) the fact that these are Quad 4.0 and 70s vintage masters. There is nothing to be ashamed of about Quadraphonic mixes. But some people act like it's bad "damaged goods." Half-inch masters of platinum album titles stored away and in impeccable condition - captured in 24/192khz, I mean please.
And so happy they didn't muck with those ORIGINAL 4.0 QUAD masters by attempting to do neither center nor .1 LFE channels!
I also like that both articles (including the one @Bill B mentioned) say that there’s a stereo option. No one is left out even if you don’t have a surround setup.
Of all the 70s albums in existence, these are all far from my favorites list. Including the two I owned (and still have) on stereo vinyl. I doubt I’ll play any of them more than a couple of times. But I’m happy to own them and definitely want to support the series.
Yes, as those first two early Quadio releases from a hundred years ago had stereo only.
Sorry for getting back on this… so there will be no way / other store to buy these two titles in Europe beside US import ?
That pretty much describes half my collection of cds and to lesser extent other formats. No need to draw the line at these releases. Jump in the pile!
I've seen a lot of product that gets imported into other territories and sold at a slight markup. In fact there are businesses that make their living by buying product by the case, and offering it for sale. Some product from Europe and Asia is manufactured with main intent to export to other countries. So I would keep an eye out, and likely see it appear as an imported item.
