Beach Boys SACD Remastered Series from Acoustic Sounds

[britre]

I'd guess Surf's Up and Carl & The Passions.

Agreed. These were the ONLY two matrix EV encoded. My Sansui QS decoder works very well for decoding. These are however Electrovoice encoded for Dynaquad ect...

Weren't there a couple of tracks on Sunflower that were EV encoded also? I didn't know anything on Carl & The Passions was (lousy album anyway except for Marcella).

Here's a terrific video of Kevin Gray cutting the vinyl lacquer master of "Surfer Girl" for Analogue Productions. He also mastered the upcoming SACD versions.

Kevin Gray is one of the best mastering engineers in the business. The Beach Boys Remastered SACDs should be very good.
Looking forward to these!

An update on the Beach Boys Remastered SACD series from Acoustic Sounds.

I checked with Acoustic Sounds today and was told that the Beach Boys SACDs will all be Mono and Stereo - no Multichannel SACDs. The listing of Pet Sounds as a Multichannel SACD is an error and will be corrected on Friday. The original plan to issue some Multichannel SACD editions in the series were scrapped during the licensing process.

Brian - any word on release dates for the SACDs? I noticed that some of the vinyl will be available in January.

Not yet. They usually wait a few months after the Vinyl editions before releasing the SACDs. Sometimes longer.
We will see.

Disappointed.

Disappointed.

As always, it comes down to what can - and cannot - be licensed.

If I was them I would have just scrapped the project at that point.

I've got the SHM SACDs on the way. And a platinum SHM CD of one of them too.

I don't get the Platinum SHM CD concept...the SHM CD's already have a different surface layer...sounds like marketing to me...does it make a difference in the sound quality?

They're less reflective than the standard SHM, so that should help the sound. They've got the green tops too, like the SHM SACDs. I'm fine with the extra $5 these cost.

I was just curious if you could actually detect any difference in the sound...thanks

How would I know. I don't buy both SHM CD versions.

So that was just a typo in your previous post?...So let me ask you if you can notice a difference in sound in any Platinum discs...

These are not the SHM SACDs. This thread is about the SHM SACDs, not the future APO hybrid SACDs.

Sorry. Got confused.

All I care about is the upcoming Analogue Productions versions. Not the overpriced SHM SACDs. Nothing to see here...move along.

Fair enough. I'll move your comments to the Beach Boys Remastered SACDs from Acoustic Sounds thread.

Yes, many things are magical in the world of SACD and DSD music!
