Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend. My afternoon listening selections suggested by my old quarantine buddies Eeny, Meeny, Miney and Moe. They assured me these were the original quad mixes.

Had to play another one. Forgot Moe’s pick.

Talking Heads - True Stories

Wikipedia: True Stories is the seventh studio album by American rock band Talking Heads. It was released on September 15, 1986, by Sire Records, around the same time as lead singer David Byrne's film of the same name.

that is not where I got mine. I think they may be the same. The Asian one claims to be 96/24, but you say its dts ( dreaded 1411). Is that true?

Is this the one you have?

or it could be this upmix: The Beatles - Rubber Soul (1965) DTS 5.1 (Upmix)

I think Talking Heads was a highly underrated band with the general public. Well thought of by the press but looked over as just another punk band by most radio land.
Beside, Tina Weymouth was pretty darn hot, specially when she'd wear those short short skirts.
Just looked her up, shes still married to bandmate Chris Frantz since 1977. How rare is that in the "business" ?

LOS LONELY BOYS [EPIC/DUALDISC DD 5.1] Not much going on in the rears but a very solid album

It's a great album and in particular, a great summer album. However, it's possibly one of the worst surround attempts ever. I don't even bother filling it with my surround discs.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo: Long Walk To Freedom (SACD 5.1)

Like all LBM albums, the fidelity and surround mix are off the hook. This one comes with a great guest list and is sadly the closest we will ever come to hear Paul Simon's - Graceland in surround.

Odd that one; it says mixed by John Porter, who also mixed the excellent SACD- Keb' Mo' ‎– Just Like You.

But Los Lonely Boys always sounded a bit like a bad up-mix.

I think Talking Heads was a highly underrated band with the general public.

Just listening to Yello - Flag upsampled to with DTS Neural :X, sounds pretty good.
But my point is how similar I'm hearing some of their cuts sounding to Talking Heads.
Maybe I'm just too stoned. LOL

Sonically, it sounds damn good but even a decent upmix would've had MORE REAR ACTION. IMO, no attempt at utilizing the surrounds AT ALL!
