Better Than Ezra - How Does Your Garden Grow? 5.1 DVD-A released 4/27/13

[gloco]

London Calling is another album definitely worth releasing in 5.1.

 

[The Bright Side]

Supertramp's albums. The more of them, the better, but I'd pay through the nose for Crime, Crisis, Quietest Moments (!) and Breakfast.

A list which, I just realized, sounds like the plot of a Film Noir.

Camel - The Snow Goose, please!!

I won't speculate on what title's coming next, but I can say the choice has little to do with the labels pushing their artists and everything to do with my original list. I have pre-cleared several 'out of print' titles directly with artists and their management and all of the major labels are on board to assist with the licensing process.

Very excited for what's to come!

This is very exciting indeed! Super that you started your label and working hard to get those titles in print again and remixing new titles. Thanks!

I couldn't see an option to send e mail on John Branca's website, or else I would have.

I love the list of favorites...keep them coming!

I'm approaching this new venture really from two fronts.

One - Re-Releases: I find it a bit silly that we're all paying a premium for our favorite titles on ebay or Amazon. Avalon, Hotel California, Rumors, etc are all great titles and deserve to be readily available to those newcomers that realize they have the ability to play the 5.1 titles (either in their 'Surround' equipped cars or in their home theaters).

Two - New Mixes: I made a list of titles I would love to re-mix in 5.1 about a year ago. Better Than Ezra 'How Does Your Garden Grow' was on that list. There are several others...and each meet a certain criteria. I can tell you that how that title sold is way down on my criteria list. Like all of us with good systems, I've seen the light bulb go off every time someone experiences 5.1. To me it's the format where people will take chances and listen to different generes. That gives me a bit of flexibility to the direction I go with things.

I won't speculate on what title's coming next, but I can say the choice has little to do with the labels pushing their artists and everything to do with my original list. I have pre-cleared several 'out of print' titles directly with artists and their management and all of the major labels are on board to assist with the licensing process.

Very excited for what's to come!

You Sir are amazing and I salute you and wholeheartedly support you in your sterling efforts.

I for one will literally buy every single title you see fit to release in surround sound DVD-Audio.

Heartfelt gratitude for your passion in your new enterprise. You have great knowledge of your subject - I'm in awe of your energy and expertise.. what a combination!

Congratulations on your first release, here's to many more surround music triumphs for you and Music Valet.

I posted this short blurb about the disc on avsforum:

Gave the album a good listen last night. It sounds great, a job well done! The vocals are strong out of the center channel, so that might turn some listeners off. I didn't mind it one bit. The track changes are off, imho. I've listened to the stereo CD a hell of a lot and I noticed on the DVD-A that the transitions often roll into the next track. Not really a big deal as the album does have a sort of interconnected feel to it. Some of my favorite tracks are Happy Day MãMã, Pull, Beautiful Mistake, Under You, Waxing or Waning?, New Kind of Low a.) Low b.) Coma and At the Stars. All in all, it's precisely what I was hoping for. I can't wait to see what Music Valet has up their sleeves for us in the future.

Not available in the UK, it seems.
Can someone please get me a non Amazon.com link where I can buy it?
(I will no longer use Amazon.com as they refuse to pay their VAT, and I get lumbered with VAT, Import Duty & handling fees which really ramps up the cost)

Tried to find the company, but do not use FaceSpace either......struggling to find me a copy.
UK Amazon only has the regular CD version
