SPOTLIGHT 6 Vocalion Surround SACD Releases - Argent, Blood, Sweat & Tears, BW Stevenson, Guess Who, Buddy Miles & Santana, Don Sebesky (Dec 2019)

[The Rang]

now that is verrrrrrrrryyyy interestingggg....
i'm gonna go catalog number wabbit huntin' and see if there's any gaps prior to xxx8560..
(it won't tell me anything but it'll keep me off the mulled wine!

Tracking the missing catalog numbers is always fun, makes you realize that some discs take longer to materialize while others die on the vine.
There were some big gaps in the Audio Fidelity catalog sequence too, some consecutive. I’d love to know what didn’t get released even though it would be torture

Her Majesty's a very nice girl..
but she's fermented in the bottle!!

Cheers, I've got a new hip! Watch from 5:02 if my link didn't work right.

 

[J. PUPSTER]

A ROYAL SHOUT OUT TO THE KING of QUAD {ADAM BLUE} AND THE WONDERFUL WIZARD of WATFORD, UK!

I swear she looks just like my mom in her 80's; except for those Steely eyes of Her Majesty- at least for an ex-military mechanic and truck driver I guess

4:46 was fun too!

 

[Q-Eight]

My Maria's the rare tape with the hit, Calabasas is the common one with no hit!
and yet.. i really enjoyed the Calabasas Quad! its terrific but soooo overlooked!
looking forward to hearing it free from its CD-4 vinyl chains
i suspect our man Q-Eight will be happy! he has remarked about the B W Stevenson Quads on here in posts gone by! roll on Christmas!!

I'm just shocked that I called this one, but I guess all the signs were there. I'm 100% in for B.W. Stevenson and the Guess Who two-fer. Booger Bear I can live without.... not my cup of bovril. Better get my order in but no chance I'll get them by christmas! lol

 

[esimms86]

B.W.(Buckwheat) Stevenson and Wheatfield Soul in the same batch. Hmm.

I also see listed on amazon.com that there’s a shop in Pennsylvania offering up a sealed quad 8 track of Booger Bear for 90 bucks. Well, Michael Dutton just ate their lunch.

I also see that at least a couple of Amazon reviewers bemoaned the poor sound quality on the Stevenson and the live Santana/Buddy releases and excessive crowd noise not edited out of the Santana/Buddy Live album. Hopefully, Mr. Dutton worked a little magic on those two.

So now I can order all three and make a guess at which case will arrive cracked...

Just a thought but should the post beginning with haikubass’ announcement be split off into a new thread titled something like “New Dutton Vocalion releases for December 2019”?

Good idea, and I made it so!

 

[skherbeck]

I'm so excited about Santana and Buddy Miles: Live! Great music with a great, discrete quad mix! I'm in for all of them (as usual)

 

[John Svensson]

The joke that almost won WW2.

 

[John Svensson]

Definite for Guess Who, the Series must be winding down....BW just to get My Maria, never heard anything else by the guy....had the live Booger- Santana SQ and it was decent....that one could be a tough sell given the flip side.

Hot Damn!

Thank you. Ordered Santana. Nothing shabby about this one. Neal Schon gets down & dirty on 2nd guitar.

 

[Mesozoic Mike]

Thank You Mr. Dutton for continuing to feed the endangered animals in the QQ Zoo.

I was gonna pass on yacht-rock and progressive-country forefather B. W. Stevenson (I remember the radio hits, but that's about all)--until I saw that Jim Gordon and Larry Carlton were among the studio musicians on both albums, and that Carlton did a fair number of the arrangements. Where's @steelydave with a custom QQ teaser? I wanna know more!

As for the Buddy Miles: no opinion on Booger Bear, except that it's got a fabulously discrete mix (which I only know from an equally fabulous @ArmyOfQuad conversion). But I'm super excited about the live album with Santana, if only for sentimental reasons. That was part of the initial shipment of cassettes that my brother got from the Columbia House Tape Club--along with Close to the Edge, Birds of Fire, The Best of the James Gang...and I wish I could remember what-all else. Apart from the hits ("Evil Ways," "Them Changes") and the long jams, I remember loving the crowd noise!

The Santana starts out with a guitar intro "Marbles" it's a John McLaughlin tune.

Wow, excellent news!
