Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

RED

I've gone all this funking way, to end up back at the start.

Rhino pulled the same shit with the Stone Temple Pilots CORE ..... they downrezed the MLP DVD~A 5.1 to DD 5.1 for the remastered set. The question is WHY?

They didn’t “downrez” anything. They just grabbed the standard DVD layer that was created for the DVD-A release years ago and reissued it. As for why, it’s very simple: Warner does not support the DVD-A format anymore. Clearly they feel that it’s no longer a viable release format.

Lossy or lossless, I just never really cared for the surround mix on this one.

Oh, man! I wanna bust out the BR of Red from The Road to Red boxset, but it's way too late for the volume I desire, so I put some Hiromi on instead; her subtle stylings, transcendent technique, and carefully crafted compositions (all originals on this release) don't require nearly as much volume . . . and there is some red on the cover!

 

[Goona]

Listened to Steely Dan Gaucho DVD A and then Avalon 5.1 couldnt get much better.

Now Clapton 461 Scheiner mix and TOIEC from the Give Me Strength Boxset.

Now Clapton 461 Scheiner mix and TOIEC from the Give Me Strength Boxset.

I need to revisit this title, as I never liked the album much (TOIEC), but it's needing a new listen by me.

Finally got my old Boston Acoustics rear speakers hooked up in the office (for the SMv2); and with the passing of Leon Redbone, this is the first thing I pulled out to try on the old 4.0 system - music seemed appropriate to Leon somehow:
A conversion Q8 - sounds great.

Damn, this is a good mix! I wish this had lead to a series of Allman Bros releases

A Brothers & Sisters set with a new 5.1 mix by Kevin Reeves and the unreleased quad mix would be a dream come true.

JP, I have this album on Angel Vinyl. Is the Q8 conversion at all discrete? Would make a great QUAD SACD title, IMO.

Q8S-36060 (Q8) SCOTT JOPLIN: The Red Back Book (Schuller/New
England Conservatory Ragtime Ensemble)

JP, I have this album on Angel SQ Vinyl but was never able to properly decode it. Is the Q8 conversion at all discrete? Would make a great QUAD SACD title, IMO.

It seemed to be, however it was my first time hearing it and I was working on cleaning up the office and wasn’t closely listening for evaluation. Might just make a great D-V release and I loved the music!

Thanks for the reply. BTW, I thought my Vinyl edition was SQ but The Red Back Book was ONLY released as a Q8. How memories fade with time...........

Unfortunately, Warners now owns all those Capitol/EMI/Angel Classical masters so doubtful D~V would have dibs to this title!

I’ll definitely be listening to this one again soon, and just happy to hear it because we may never see this out in the wild (new) again.

Congrats to QQ for 1000 pages of this surround thread.

Red Back Book is a Q8 I never bought. Still, I've enjoyed listening to it on CD and 45 rpm abbreviated album (1 disc.)

A surround SACD of this would be most welcome.

When I search "mccartney multichannel" on Discogs, this does NOT show up--I would NOT have known about this release were it not for Quadraphonicquad! And now I'm soaking in it! Thank you, QQ, for all you do. Peace

It does talk about it in the notes, but yes, not the headings.

I might have ordered this recently. Not sure. I have a problem!
