I wonder why they only did 1 5.1 mix per Sector. Were there insufficient tapes for any other mixes? Will Rush ever release more albums in 5.1? Will they hire a great mixing engineer to do future mixes? @:@:
One of my absolute favorite surround songs, Africa, is on this album. Took me a long time to find a reasonably priced copy. Worth the wait!
I think it was definitely a combination of (missing) tapes and time that factored into the decision of only mixing one album in 5.1 surround for each Sector box set.
How on earth did a quad mix this discrete and fantastic sounding go unreleased for over 40 years? Recommended for anyone with even a passing interest in classical.

Hmmm. I'll have to check my NAS and see if I have that one....I honestly don't recall. Thanks for the endorsement.
Nope, didn't find it. So......
ORDERED! I'll have it in 2 days.
Awesome! I'm not alone in thinking it's perhaps the jewel of the Pentatone Deutsche Grammophon remasterings. Kind of crazy to think that they made a quad master of every recording they made from 1970-1976 (some 400+ records), and none ever saw the light of day except for a few test pressings. And the recordings they made in Boston in particular are quite adventurous with the use of discrete information in the rear channels.
