Linda, is the Atlantic Records CD~4 of the Modern Jazz Quartet's LAST CONCERT discrete? I've been considering the Warner/Atlantic UHQ MQA encoded CD. Though of course not surround, I have found the UHQ~CD MQA encoded discs to have EXCEPTIONAL remastering.

Carpenters SINGLES 1969~1981 [A&M/UMG/Multi~CH SACD] Every once in awhile I need a dose of sunshine and this phenomenol sounding multi~CH SACD personally remixed by Richard Carpenter from the original A&M multis fits the bill nicely. And sadly, the last time those Carpenter Multi tracks were utilized as they perished a few weeks later in the Universal Fire!
