Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[4-earredwonder]

My copy should be arriving soon.

Listened to it last night in 7.1. LOVE this album especially their brilliant rendition of George Gershwin's "It Ain't Necessarily So." Haven't delved into the copious bonus tracks yet but I think you'll enjoy it immensely.


SO Good!

Gladys Knight & The Pips - Imagination - Discrete 4-Channel Reel-to-Reel => FLAC

51 years ago (October, 1973), Gladys Knight & The Pips released Imagination on the Buddha Records label. It peaked #9 on U.S. Billboard Top LPs and #1 on U.S. Billboard Top Soul LPs. Besides producing their only Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit single “Midnight Train To Georgia”, it also produced other successful singles, including “I’ve Got To Use My Imagination”, “Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me”, and “Where Peaceful Waters Flow”. A Rolling Stone critic stated that the album lacked “Imagination”, on the other hand, Rolling Stone listed Gladys Knight as one of the Greatest Singers Of All Time when she was declared the “Empress Of Soul” in 2007. The only way to listen to the quad mix was by listening to the reel-to-reel or the 8-track cartridge. A couple QQ members have the reel-to-reel, but I’m unable to find any comments and there is no QQ poll. To my ears, it sounds pretty good. 2016 saw the reissue of Imagination on 180 gram vinyl in Europe and it is still available on Amazon. I’m unable to find out who did the QUAD mix on Imagination--maybe someone from this group knows. Buddha is currently handled by Sony Music Entertainment and I would love one of their surround mixing engineers produce a Blu-Ray reissue. Maybe Stephen W. Tayler?

mixed by Chuck Ainlay, IMHO, Phenomenal

Since joining this fine site, I never looked to see who mixed an album. Now after I start the music, it's the first thing I look for after climbing in the recliner 😀 4-words....Old dog, New trick
