I liked the first lp 4 channel dynamite, about a 9, but the second one ion this cd big band 30's I didn't like at all. But glad I got this SACD. The first one is really a fun quad mix. Lots of discrete 4 channel, and instruments changing channels, and movement. So hard to rate this, I guess about an 8.

Well, I did get a chance to run this past the speakers and ears about a week ago, and I think it's remarkable. I really like the first half, but the big band part was a bit of a downer, so it's a 9, simply because I like some of more than others.

FWIW, I held off rating this mostly because it's not up on discogs. It is now. Tell me about what I effed up.
