Listening now to this symphony release in 4.0. Exquisite. From Dutton Vocalion. I purchased this as an add on to the new 6 discs from DV, why? I do like the DV surround discs that they have which are movie soundtracks and on this disc the 10:41 Track 7 The Thing From Another World attracted me. I am enjoying all of it. The Guns Of Navarone is also included.
I have to bitch here a little. I purchased the expensive Pink Floyd box set, I did what I did, not going backwards, ended up being disappointing, not necessarily for the money spent, but for the content. How many ways are there to listen to Shine On You Crazy Diamond? When I compare the Floyd set vs the 7 discs I got from DV, the value is incomparable. For 1/4 the cost I have got much more to listen to and in good quality surround or stereo if I want. My DV collection is now almost as big as my Audio Fidelity collection and I am more happy about Dutton Vocalion than any other release. Outside of the 2019 release of The Beatles and The Band my gems of 2019 have been the DV surround 4.0 discs. I also have really absorbed the whole quadraphonic thing, 4.0, that I didn't fully understand before, tapes, records, etc.
