Def Leppard - Diamond Star Halos (SW Atmos mix; SDE exclusive blu-ray in February 2024)

Am I the only one disappointed that bands who are 30 years past their sell by date release new stuff on surround or atmos but not their great albums from the past?

Nope, you're not the only one.

What's weird is I thought I remembered a 'Kick' Atmos mix appearing on Tidal and presumably Apple as well and now the Tidal one seems to have gone away.

Thanks for the link, the first two singles are really catchy! The Atmos mix (played on a 5.1 system for now) reminds me a lot of what was done for Guns 'n' Roses' Appetite For Destruction, lots of double-tracked/backing vocals and percussion in the rears plus the occasional guitar lick. It's pretty dynamic but the overall fidelity is not stellar for me, the cymbals throughout the second track in particular sound grainy. I'll second the call for a Blu-Ray from SDE, with a dedicated 5.1 mix.

I didn’t know Hysteria was mixed in surround… was it SW?

It wasn't so he didn't...

Let's see if Paul is there on Monday...

I've asked SW to tell Paul there's a lot of US interest in getting a BR of this done. At first thought he was not sure it would be Paul's musical bag.

My mistake. We didnt have internet in the 80s but sad no physical release. Just sucks

unfortunately, I'm not on Twitter, so I guess I'll have to write in to SDE's website to confirm my interest in a single-disc HFPA Blu-Ray.

It. Everyone else can PM Paul on Twitter and make their views known!

My comment is awaiting approval but I did ask that if this indeed comes to pass, I hope a 5.1 mix is included as well for those of us who do not have Atmos systems atm

 

[madscot]

Can I email a request for “Hysteria” in atmos? I’m fairly certain that would sell in big numbers, much more so than this new album

Not on Twitter either and just sent him a message on sde, fingers crossed.
