Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[J. PUPSTER]

Crisp, cool, clean...

Played me some Chicago Quad tonight,X and VIII.Not my favorites,but some good songs and good fidelity.And now for something completly different:
Poulenc:Concerto for Organ,Strings and Timpani in G minor.Gillian Weir organ,English Chamber Orchestra.
This was recorded in a chapel and the organ is behind you and the strings in front as it is in real.Nice and some deep bass.

This entire book set is great. Give Me Strength (4.0 & 5.1 BD-A 24/96 for 461 Ocean Boulevard.)
The 4.0 and the 5.1 are two different listening experiences. There is also a 4.0 only for There's One In Every Crowd.

Just acquired this one on eBay from a seller at a reasonable price. Can’t wait to check it out. Have the SACD - loved the music, wasn’t super happy with the very sedate, reserved surround mix. Looking forward to giving the Scheiner 5.1 mix a spin!

E.C. Was Here is one of my all time favorite live albums, but, after hearing the extended versions on this set, it made me realize that the original LP performance I had always loved had been substantially edited. But still remains one of my favorites, and OK it's not in surround.
I'd bet you're also familiar with that album Kid, what do you think?

Interestingly enough, the original press release for the Give Me Strength set listed an unreleased quad mix of E.C. Was Here, yet it was not included on the final product. I wonder if it actually exists, or it it was just a mistake?

That 'original press release' for EC's "Give Me Strength' does credit Tom Dowd as remix engineer and in looking over Wikipedia's Dowd bio it seems credible that Dowd indeed may have done an [unreleased] QUAD remix of EC was Here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Dowd.

He was the engineer for Layla [and other love songs], introduced Atlantic Records to Eight Track Multitrack Recordings and was a pioneer in the recording industry.

Anything (almost) is possible I suppose, and I believe in the 70's weren't some of the "King Biscuit Flower Hour" radio shows broadcast in Quad? Which would have been around that time. I even have a couple of those I recorded on my Reel to Reel back in those days (albeit in stereo.) If so they should have taken the time (if possible) to mix / master into that set. Personally, don't think It'll ever happen.

Mandrake, I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist etc. etc... and to let them sap and in-purify our precious bodily
Sorry, just channeling my Sterling Hayden angst for a moment

Actually, ah hem, I meant to say; I can't always disallow the civility, confidence & discretion afforded to me, and wildly divulge all my deepest secrets to the masses.
However, if you're brave enough and have the balls to take that dark turn to a place like Snoodville ; you may also be brave enough for a journey to the past. Such is the case of this otherwise Spartan journey into another realm, where the utmost purity of essence is not only required, but demanded:

P.S. - I just love a good cross thread union.

Pupster, by the mid-70’s I’d given up on Clapton. It was too difficult to reconcile this new, laid back Eric with the guitar god he’d been in Cream. So this will be the first time I give the E.C. Was Here album a listen!

The 70s are my fav era for Clapton, what’s interesting to me in listening to that album, is it’s hard to tell when Clapton or Miami George Terry was playing. I could chat for hours about that era Da Blues - Da Blues
