First let me say that I don't have any insider information or am willing to assign a % figure to a possible new surround version of Avalon.....the word I used in my post was MIGHT.....BUT...they are doing a complete re-issue of the Roxy series with a 2014 master to work from...the fact that Avalon has a great surround version might not be a factor for the record company that has already committed to the re-issue of the series...

Sorry, but I'm not following your reasoning at all.
Labels remaster stuff all of the time, but rarely do they spend the time or money to remix something unless they are creating a surround mix for an album that doesn't have surround to begin with.

Grateful Dead - Workingman's Dead (DVD-Audio)

Excellent sounding disc.....not a huge fan of the Dead. But, I can appreciate their place in music. Obviously....

Kodo Mondo Head SACD, this sounds great and is a lot of fun:

Tumbleweed Connection SACD. I haven't worn it out... yet.

Great sounding disc...

Great sounding disc...

All the EJ's sound fantastic. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is, imo, just slightly below the others as far as fidelity goes. The electric guitars on that one are a tiny bit harsh on my system.

I think your comments are spot on. GYBR, while good, is the weakest of them all (SACD that is). All others are absolutely so warm and genuine sounding. I will never get enough of Rocket Man on SACD...it just soars....

Thanks for that, I've been meaning to grab the Honky Chateau SACD for a while now. It's still reasonably priced.

Rocket Man is surround nirvana.

It sounds SPECTACULAR! A workout for your subwoofer. There are more Kodo SACD's that are Japan only. This cover on this looks a bit different in Japan:

Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds Disc 1

Hi. I have this and only recall listening to it once. There were also particles polluting my lungs, so says my wife. She's cool. Is she right? Serious question. I'll listen to it agains, but it's way down on list. Happy wife, happy life. Maybe I should burn it.
Probably room for nuance.

Listening to a sweet, true 5.1 DD of some really great songs -- if you're a Billy Joel fan. For purist audiophiles, sure there are nitpicking criticism I can make (like live performance of Piano Man and a few videos.), but I guarantee at a minimum most will be pleasantly surprised

Especially with the new SACD arrival, trust me this is worth a buy and then some. The videos are all well mixed discretely in surround. And, you get to see Christie Brinkley prior to her brother stealing Billy's bread. So, buy it for that!

You would enjoy American Beauty and the unknown surround that is amazing. Sunshine Daydream. It's on blu ray on Dead.net

The Creamery concert was cool, what pray tell is the "Unknown Surround"? American Beauty has been available as a DVD-A and dualdisc for years.
