Please post your thoughts and comments on this new Blu-Ray Audio release of the classic Curtis Mayfield album "Roots".
Released as part of Rhino's ongoing Quadio series, this new Blu-Ray Audio release features the first release of the original Quadraphonic mix in over 50 years!

Surround mix is bland. Audio fidelity seems muddy to me. The songs are good and Curtis is in good voice, but I'm not connecting with this very well. Packaging is consistent with previous QUADIO releases. Rated 7

I voted 9.
Reason, I just felt it was a little bright, which bugged me a bit.
Blu Ray rip-4.0 FLAC file-24bit/192Khz DTS HD MSTR-DR's are 13's, 14's, 15, 16's, 17.
I own now 3 Roots, 2 Superfly's, and 3 other Curtis discs. Roots is a strong piece, but the best of Curtis is Curtis, Curtis Live and Superfly.
Listening to the new 4.0 Quadio, was nice and Quad centered, no reverb rears, in fact would be ideal to put your chair in center and spin around a bit. One thing about Curtis is his very strong fuzz bass playing, very signature and engaging.
Don't overlook this title, it is a surround collectors must for their library.
