Mine arrived today. Listening to the Montenegro now. Hah. Fun mix so far.
Is the mastering on these jaw dropping good? The recordings should be exceptional, near stunning.

If you're not familiar with the material, look for some of the tracks on Youtube. That will help you make your choices, should the music strike your fancy. As far as fidelity and mastering go, I just wish more labels would offer such great sounding SACDs containing two complete albums at very reasonable prices like these. I have four of the six titles and I'm really happy with them. I played a few tracks for fellow member The Bright Side when he came around last week as he was curious to hear them and wasn't familiar with the artists. I chose Paul McCartney's My Love from Floyd Cramer's Class of '73 and a handful of selections from the Hugo Montenegro disc. He admitted not being a fan of the music, but he was blown away by the sound quality and the amazing Quad mixes.
Let's hope they treat us to another six new titles soon.
Where is the best place to buy them?
Wow....much cheaper than I would have thought.
This won't hurt nearly as much as I thought
Affordable SACDs
Sounds like an oxymoron
LOL! Once you'll have heard them you'll be quite happy with them. Many of us here try to support labels who take the risk of releasing quality Multichannel material and I hope that the good people of the ship Vocalion know how appreciated their efforts are. This is the type of product that gets (unfortunately) ignored by many when it's available. Once it's too late, prices skyrocket and everyone complains that these are hard to find. Well they're available NOW!![]()
Well said..I called Vocalion to check on my order back in January(which i received in 3 weeks time) ,I told them I appreciated their efforts of getting multichannel music out there. I told them i read about them here at QQ. I also asked them if there were any future releases in the works . The answer i got(well by no means official) was that it all depended how well theses releases did.SO , do yourselves a favor get as many of these titles as you can, and appreciate what you have while the getting is good..and just as important, spread the word out there!
That's always the story. If they sell well, there will be more.
I'm definitely interested to see if they continue on with their Multichannel SACD releases.
I'd love more soul titles![]()
Dutton Vocalion SACD's? Where have I been????? This is the first I'm hearing about them. Is there a list of titles?
Jaybird, here's an AmazonUK listing for ALL six titles. Each SACD contains two complete QUAD titles from the RCA catalogue and are meticulously transferred from the original analogue tapes: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb...sacd&sprefix=Dutton+Vocalion+SACD,popular,220
