New DV Releases for January 2021! (Mott the Hoople, BTO, Burton Cummings, Grover Washington Jr!)

Speaking of Cracked CD Cases......Received three of them this week alone from AmazonUS!

 

[edisonbaggins]

Surprising, to me, that I haven't pulled the trigger on any titles from this crop.
I think the only one I'm truly interested in is the BTO. Maybe I should snag it, along with a killer classical title. Suggestions?

Yeah…..it’s hard to tell if these cases get cracked in shipment, in handling or a combination of both.

Well, Perp, at least one of them was the result of Amazon putting three heavy bottles of Crest Whitening Mouthwash on top of a 'delicate' Rubellan CD!

the BTO is excellent but the Burton and Grover sets are to me must-have's also, Baggy Baggster Baby!!

Look NO further, Hot Stuff!

The above reminds me the D-V Tomita quads are quite discrete, if you have any interest in 70s "switched-on" synthesizer style classical.

What do you like? My personal guess given your fondness for prog and heavier stuff (I know, wildly and maybe incorrectly generalizing) is the Mahler 2nd Symphony (aka the "Resurrection Symphony"). The Stokowski recording isn't a discrete-fest but it uses the surrounds effectively IMO. It's massive and powerful and...universal. Just my guess.

I found some of Burton's writing to be off-putting. Forgot about the Grover!

I like Mahler's passion and dynamics!

Good suggestions!

Can you say "Billy Cobham - Spectrum prices"

It appears right now, the safer bet is Jethro Tull.
TAAB was unobtainium before I started collecting, but SFTW, which I don't care near as much for, has exceeded it.

Next up: A.

Suggestions?

Get the Grover Washington Jr. It's fantastic and one of my absolute favorite SACDs ever from DV

Being that you like progressive rock and wildly played pieces in quad, I would go for these two before other classical suggestions. They are a slightly more radical departure from conventional sympnonies.

I'm hurt that you don't know I've had and loved Boulez Conducts Bartok for quite some time!!! I even have it on Quad vinyl, in case anybody wants it!!!

 

[edisonbaggins]

This situation has been rectified!
Grover, BTO, and a couple of classical goodies!
Well done, y'all!

 

[surround.sound.enthusiast]

Sold out and awaiting repress, nothing more, nothing less - and a good sign in my opinion!

A very good sign!

I've been sitting still on buying from this batch because I've been waiting for a follow-on batch to order from at the same time.
Last time I ordered, this batch dropped within a month. I've got to be the karmic log jam in their release schedule because it's
happened at least twice now! "Nothing new until 'that guy' on QQ commits and buys something from the last release."

Hearing about Mott is a wake-up call though - when it comes back into inventory I'll just have to place my order!

 

[uffeolby]

Due to Brexit I still have not received (to Sweden) the Mott and the Burton I ordered as soon as they were announced. Poor Simon at DV (excellent customer service by the way) has now sent me the third parcel with the same content. One of them is lost in the mail space and one has been returned to DV.

But low and behold, yesterday I received a letter from the Customs that the third parcel has actually reached Sweden - never thought I should be happy to pay customs duty, but this time I am

Give it another week and I will have the precious discs in my hand, already three months after ordering them

 

[quicksrt]

Mott was much more accomplished musicians and the songwriting was advanced beyond BTO. No surprise it was the hot seller out of this bunch.

I like that DV gets some good hard rock, and it sells well. Paving the way of the future as it was meant to be.

I can confirm steelydave's statement that it's just out of stock: in a panic I emailed Dutton yesterday to ask if the Mott SACD was coming back and they responded it should be available again in 2-3 weeks.

Very happy to have received a response, especially with good news!
