Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[bookofsaturdays]

Wow, I didn’t know that that one even existed in 5.1!

If I’m not mistaken I believe it was derived from the original quad, similar to their Abraxas release.

It sounds wonderful but would definitely benefit from a Dutton~Vocalion sonic makeover as the used prices are pretty steep

By this time based on previous release history, BTO should be right in Mr. Dutton’s wheelhouse.

MOST especially in view of D~V's exceptional release of this two~fer from the UMG vaults which I am currently spinning:

Bachman-Turner Overdrive & Bachman-Turner Overdrive II​

[SACD Hybrid Multi-Channel]​

I know, I wouldn't mind having a copy of that. Dutton Vocalion?

All the more reason for the DV treatment in beautiful, original Quad!

Just say YES to NOT FRAGILE!

YES CLOSE TO THE EDGE [Panegyric Records/BD~A LPCM 5.1 96/24 and Stereo remixes]

This one is CRAZY fun! Recorded in Melbourne in 1973, it makes perfect sense that @chucky3042 SM v.2 would bring it to life! I'm LOVING it! Broke the seal – pristine copy!

Bachman~Turner Overdrive NOT FRAGILE [Polydor/DTS Entertainment/DTS 5.1]

I found one online for $4.00 (good condition) and ordered it. It is this picture with the DTS Surround, sure hope it is correct. Otherwise, Paypal will refund me.

Hey Clement, now we know what you’ve been smoking!

Hey Clement, now we know what you’ve been smoking!

I wish! I mos def would if i could! But i can't, so i shan't . . . instead, i'll follow my multichannel music addiction! Stay Surrounded, Comrades!

Oh My Goodness! This one sounds absolutely phenomenal through the SM v.2. And somehow, i scored an SQ Quadraphonic LP that may have been played once! Sounds pristine! The songs are top shelf and the mix is SO discrete and engaging. Somehow, i can't find a poll thread for this one. I think it deserves one. And a physical digital release – Michael J. Dutton? Highly recommended!

May be I should go on Discogs and buy an SQ LP...... what normally happens then, is that sometime later its released as a Quad SACD (Sony, Dutton-Vocalion or as sadly in the past on Audio Fidelity)

So my SQ LP turned up today, and as my trapped sciatic nerve seems to have improved (shouldn't have cut the grass on Sunday which is when I did it ) I could get the Hi-Fi plugged in and running! The LP is in pretty good condition, some distortion/sibilance in places but for a nearly 50 year old LP its not bad at all (Discogs vendor had it as VG+). Decoded really well by the good old SM2. A really nice mix, always liked the album in stereo, its worthy of a Dutton-Vocalion Quad release.

So if my previous Quad LP purchases have been anything to go on it'll appear on SACD shortly

I searched long and hard for this one, using the @edisonbaggins patented Life In Surround search method. It took a LONG time to find at a price i was willing to pay, but WORTH the wait!

9.54 on our poll thread

I've it on this CD - was it a single inventory SQ Quad? I'll try see how the CD decodes with the SM2 next week

Its always good to have a known source to compare with, and this CD is definitely not Quad encoded.

Well, now that We have BOTH bought it, let's hope We've increased the odds of it becoming a D-V reality!

GENESIS - A TRICK OF THE TAIL SACD .. still sounding great !

That’s the “Booger Bear” of spending significant amounts of money to acquire quad releases in their original formats. Just like @edisonbaggins jinxed himself with his purchase of “Caravanserai.” At least Baggy didn’t spend too much on that one.

 

[djstephan]

Up next .. Deep Purple - Machine Head the Quadraphonic mix from the SACD ..

Good opportunity to give a hearty round of applause to the best Quad (and other surround) discography in existence IMO; from what must have been a Herculean and long journey into the unknown, by our very own @Mark Anderson

I utilize his excellent database almost daily!
