Looking forward to 2025!

As an afterthought: Jeff Buckley's Grace has been mentioned more often as a contender for a 5.1/Atmos mix. The album turned 30 last year, but alas nothing happened.

Well, this single with Atmos mix happened:

As for Fish, I would love to see a deluxe edition released of his 1994 album "Suits", complete with new 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos mixes

It sounds like Fish is done with both new and back catalogue releases. I'm not holding out hope for any more from him.

Bob Dylan (3)

I know of Nashville Skyline and Planet Waves. What's the third?

Concerning KISS, I still haven't brought myself to get either box set of theirs simply because they are too costly for me when I'm not a big KISS fan but certainly any other surround remixes would be welcome on streaming at least.

Set up searches for just the Blu-rays on eBay. That's how I acquired mine. Destroyer comes in a gatefold cardboard sleeve, while Creatures gets a simpler non-gatefold sleeve.

While my capacitor replacement project os complete on my Marantz CD400B, I still neet to go through it and reset all those internal pots before I get to hear my CD4 copy of Rick Wakeman’s “Journey to the Centre of the Earth” and “Myths and Legends of King Arthur” in their glorious quad.

But, dogone it, it would be nice if I had some sort of digital version of those surround classics.

You do know they were released digitally, right? Questionable sources and transfers—lossy, too—but they are out there.

I had a copy of the “From the Front Row” disc, and it reminded me of the cassette copy I had made from inside my wife’s purse of his Anaheim Convention Center show in ‘76.

I have stereo CDs of both as well, but why hasn’t it been done right?

the other Bob Dylan Quad is 1976's "Desire", mixed by Don Young, only released on SQ-encoded LP

all A&M Quad masters are said to be missing feared destroyed in the Universal vault fire of 2008

when Universal came to tackle Deluxe Editions of that part of Rick Wakeman's catalogue, three albums were reissued with their respective Quads on DVD-Audio disc; Six Wives with a decoded SQ needledrop (OD), King Arthur from demodulated CD-4 LP (UMW) and Journey To The Centre from Q8 tape (AOQ).

Are the original session tapes available? I know the live recording of JttCotE had a lot of manipulating done to it to cover up several damnits.

that i do not know, unfortunately
it seems doubtful there's the will or the budget to go back and remix those records but you never know! i would personally love new Atmos mixes of Six Wives and King Arthur, i love those albums!

not available to stream in the US but available to stream elsewhere:

Somebody was going to check on this but haven't seen any follow up on it.

Pretty sure BIA was played on Tidal, not sure if in the US.

I would not hold my breath either. Perfectly happy with Vigil... and Internal Exile and the show of his farewell tour I saw last year. That is a chapter I am willing to close.

According to this post at R&D, we will get Floyd's Live at Pompeii in May (Blu-ray, no other details are known):

I was expecting WYWH in May (unfounded expectation); I do wonder what we'll get this year

Release date for Wish You Were Here was 09/12/1975 (Sept 12, 1975)
This year, Sept 12 is on a Friday, the day new music releases come out, so it would be a HUGE missed opportunity if they didn't put out any 50th anniversary editions on that date.

Don't know why I thought it was released in May that year, thanks for the clarification.
September indeed seems a more realistic date and there'll be no clash with Pompeii

I said everything was gravy after SPITFIRE, but there is one Dolby Atmos release I am thrilled may be coming: SW's mix of King Crimson's
LIZARD.

His 5.1 mix of the album was the first surround I listened to on my new surround system, oh so long ago it seems. What a revelation!
ItWoP would be fine (it was my first KC after all), but over the years LIZARD has seemed much more forward-going than the
second album of KC that was just a watered down first album (YMMV).
