Ordered The Guess Who.

I think you will be happy with it.
The 4 Surround SACDs arrived here on Monday. Best of the Guess Who, Volume 2 was the highlight of the pack for me.

Mine were waiting for me when I got home last night (Guess Who, Herbie Hancock, and Donald Byrd) ordered a couple of minutes after the first post). 10 day turnover, not bad DV Thanks!

MFSB and Guess Who arrived on Swedish soil today \o/

Looks like MFSB had another Quad release, Love Is The Message, apart from Philadelphia Freedom, curious why those two didn’t make up a two-fer? Or maybe another two-fer a la one quad and one stereo only will pop up?

I was wondering about that myself - unfortunately, it seems another label beat them to the punch on licensing Love Is The Message:

Philadelphia Freedom would have been a 2fer with Love is the Message but it is (or at least was, at the time that D-V enquired) under license to another label in the UK at the moment so it wasn't avaiable. I'm sure if the situation changes in that regard in the future that it will definitely be on D-V's radar, especially if the Philadelphia Freedom/Summertime disc sells well. So there's no nefarious reason for this happening, and it's not due to any missing master tapes either, I can put that supposition to bed.

I have to say though, now that I've heard them both in discrete form, I definitely think Philadelphia Freedom is the superior quad mix. Love Is The Message has a bit of an odd layout with the drums diagonally spread across the room.

Which do you think is the better album musically?

Musically I'd vote for Love Is The Message.
It's a classic.

Received MFSB and Donald Byrd today. That's the fastest ever for a DV shipment.

Enjoy Mike. Looks like D~V has finally got 'the shipping act' together. Likewise received mine in record time. EUREKA!

My four arrived From DV today Hancock guess who blackbyrds and MFBS. Unfortunately 3 of the 4 cases are broken with the guess who case in Pieces and the tray card bent up. The disc looks ok. I have occasionally received a cracked case from them but never this much damage. I have let them know.

Unfortunately, jefe, my previous order from D~V consisting of 7 discs contained three cracked cases [nothing serious, though] and I did comment on this current order and they wrapped this shipment in bubble wrap before shipping them out. Still, only a minor crack in one of the cases this time around. I really think D~V should dispense with their present thin corrugated shipping material and resort to something a bit more sturdy....most especially those being shipped internationally.

I was pretty surprised myself! I think the last batch took closer to two weeks.

Am I the only one here totally unfamiliar with any of these releases, except for may be the Tomita ? I see all you folks rraving about these discs and I haven't a clue about what they are or where to start. It is easy with the classical release at least since I have familiarity with the repertoire, but the rest ??????

Sounds like you should go on YouTube, discogs, Amazon Music or elsewhere and just sample the music in stereo first. As far as access to basic music content like on YouTube, that ship has sailed long ago.

Just received my D-V package in the afternoon mail. I'm in Massachusetts, in case anyone's wondering. I ordered 5 discs(the 4 new releases and Tomita's "Firebird") and there was a slight crack in the Guess Who case per the "GOS rule of packaging" LOL. The DSD file ripping begins tomorrow!

 

[H.A.L.]

My two batches arrived today! Haven't opened yet to check it out . . . too many items ahead of it.

They release Classical albums on the Dutton Epoch label and the Popular albums on the Dutton Vocalion label.

I'm guessing that more people on QQ are familiar with this batch of releases (The Guess Who - Rock/Pop, Donald Byrd - Jazz, Herbie Hancock - Jazz, MFSB - Soul) than the Classical ones from Dutton Epoch.
