4 New Quadio releases coming in June!

Not an authority here, but Mark Waldrep (Dr. AIX), who has authored dozens of 24/96k DVDs, has noted that the bandwidth of DVD-As won’t handle five uncompressed channels, so he used MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing) to make them work.

MLP is pretty much standard, or was, on DVDA. Of course if it was authored as a "Hybrid" disc, that is the DVDA lossless side, and a Video side for compatibility with non DVDA capbable devices then the Video side can use DTS or AC3, or pcm.
I don't author DVD anymore so I don't author "hybrid" discs, just the lossless DVDA mlp encoded. Don't see any point in it. Everyone has an Oppo, right? J/K.

Those who purchased the bundle, what's your batting/listening order? When I get mine, I go from least familiar to most familiar. I'll start with JGB, then JS, BS and end with AC.

 

[mandrix]

I'm thinking Black Sabbath first.

That "out of stock wait" time is never accurate, you didn't really think so for one minute did you.

Gosh, I really have no idea how Rhino announces stock levels or replenish times nor how accurate those announces would be. I have only ordered from them directly twice (Quadio bundle and Chicago Quadio) and twice via Joni Mitchell’s page.

Are they accurate with their “in stock” status for items? All the latest Quadio discs and bundle still show that.

I will go in order of interest for me:
JS, BS, JGB, AC (the last album I haven’t ever heard before in any format, so it can wait until last).

Definitely Mr Tony Iommi and them fantastic guitar licks,

Talking of which, I'm watching Slash ripping it up, as I recorded last night's Rose's show, at Glastonbury.

BS, AC, JS, JGB. My tastes mirror the tastes of most as evidenced by the sales numbers Foraging Rhino indicated.
There is a chance the BS disc will be listened to several times before I move on to the others. Black Sabbath is in my top 10 all time bands (with Beatles, Floyd, Zep, Rush, Yes, Hendrix, Stones, etc.).

That's been known ever since DVD-Audio arrived as a standard.

You mean Gaffer's tape?

Correct! My gaff here.

The question was asked, so I answered it.

Black Sabbath shaped my musical journey from fairly easy listening to the wonders of Heavy Metal, with Paranoid

It was released on September 17 1970!!

Blimey, where have all those, nearly, 53 years gone!!?

 

[par4ken]

I assume you mean, 1 hit wonder in the UK. They had multiple hits in the US across several years. Honestly, I never was much of a fan, never owned any of their albums.

Yes they had multiple hits in the US and Canada for sure. For me their real hit was "Love Stinks"!
I have the Nautilus "SuperDisc" LP regular version and the dbx version!

Edit: I never cared much for the hits "Freeze Frame" or "Centerfold", pablum for the masses IMHO. Both were overplayed at the time as well. I actually do have the album "Freeze Frame" which contains both hits, I think I got it in a lot from a yard sale. Also have the CD-4 of "Nightmares".

I wonder which of the 4 releases is the best seller so far...

As "Paranoid" was not only the best seller of the bunch originally, but they pressed more of this title, I would venture this is the best seller. Or, at the very least, Rhino expects to be

Let's get the topic of this thread back on to the subject of these four releases, and not politics, brexit and/or the merits and drawbacks of import duties please. Any further off-topic posts will be deleted on sight so don't even waste your time typing them out.

Sabbath, Cooper, Starship & Geils, in that order!

I got to that post eventually.

I still remember the first time I heard "Paranoid". My girlfriend was taking some night courses at the junior college in 1970 and I would go with her. During a break, we were lounging in the grass outside and they had music piped in and played it through speakers mounted on the building.

What's weird is I never bought the album until now.

I thought that everyone had at least a cassette copy of their friends LP at that time! I discovered the first album shortly after "Paranoid" and liked it just as much, maybe even more, also made a (mono) cassette copy! I had the LP of "Master of Reality" long before actually purchasing the other albums for myself.

Also I just ordered the Quadio set!

This is my first Black Sabbath purchase ever.

 

[edisonbaggins]

Ordered 2 sets. Probably should have ordered 3 or 4. This is an insane value.
And the start of something huge, my senses tell me.

Expect extensive Life in Surround coverage.

Bring it on.
