My Stars and Garters!
What an unexpected delight!
Here is my Missing Persons Audiophile story:
1987 Farm Aid III concert, Lincoln, Nebraska
Memorial Football Stadium home of the once & future
National Champion College Gridiron Football
University of Nebraska Cornhuskers
As 60,000 plus fans awaited the start of the concert...
the audio crew faded up their reference music track...
to verify the sound system was dialed in at FULL CONCERT VOLUME!
Slowly, to the delight of the crowd, the music swelled to full volume to reveal...
Missing Persons- Destination Unknown (from their debut album these Atmos tracks are from)
The full-spectrum slam of the former Zappa power trio tested every frequency range from sub to super-tweeter.
And lo, it was good in the sight of the crowd and the whole of creation.
It's been a reference track for full-blast rock for me ever since that day.
Just used it now, still works for me!
A virtual plastic cup full of ice cold Pepsi
(No beer sales on university property until last month)
to any folks who can identify any of these three 1987 celebrities
from (L-R) ~Sports~ ~TV~ ~Film~
who came out to make fundraising speeches between acts.

I saw Terry Bozzio live a few years ago having no idea about his MP connection. His one man show with an incredible drum kit was amazing, and now I listen to MP in whole new way. An incredible artist.

QUAD kick drums duly noted.
To stay on topic:
Sure hope some more Missing Persons or Zappa tracks show up before I'm past caring.
This was an odd mix on some songs, seems like the drums were only in the center speaker, other songs it was spread across the LR speakers. You lose lots of the low end thump of the drums, at least in my setup (played in my car). The stereo versions don't seem to have the same low frequency cutoff as those in surround. Maybe it is a function of the car's crossover setup and there is a freq. cutoff to the center speaker, but there are only certain songs that are mixed this way, not the entire album. That said, good to see continued release of more and more classics in surround.
Wow, a great disappointment to me downmixed to 5.1.
Had to turn it off less than a minute into the first track.
Starts off promising with the guitar intro RR, drums enter LF.
Smokey's vocal seems to have a harsh treble boost, uh-oh...
By the time the chorus starts 0:45, so distorted and bright, like ice picks stabbing my damaged, high-frequency deficient eardrums.
Fail.
One man's perception, YMMV...
A shame, as these are such classic tracks.
It was a reminder to me that the early Miracles were uniquely a guitar-driven Motown band with the wonderful writing and playing of Marv Tarplin.
I tried the stereo 24/48 flac streaming on Amazon, and while I still hear excessive treble boost, it seems smoother, less distorted, with more solid bass upmixed to 5.1.
I guess I do hear things in the Atmos I've never heard before, there's that.
A good reminder that one can always go back to the stereo mixes.
Unless they start to disappear in the brave new world of streaming.

Hopper
That's not Ralph Malph. That's Officer Renko from Hill Street Blues!
Charles Haid.
And we have three winners, thanks for playing.
Quite a 1987 collection of "where are they now" celebrities.
Some days it's hard to believe it was 35 years ago, other days, not so much.
Stereo CDs were as audiophile as it got, multichannel Atmos blu ray undreamed of.
Didn’t recognize him. Looks like a business man, not a biker ( Easy Rider) or Vietnam reporter. (Apocalypse Now)
its Kyle McLachlan, Walter Mercado.. and.. err.. Dennis Hopper's non-identical Twin Brother, Topper Hopper?!

This one snuck in under the radar. Fronts-forward (the source tapes were probably 3-track?). Also includes Bernstein's own Symphonic Dances from West Side Story and On the Waterfront Symphonic Suite.
