If the 801 and earlier Manzanera solo SACDs are any indication, this bundle will be worth getting!

Yes - just ordered them!!!! CDJapan only has 1 of the 3 available, Burning Shed has all 3! I'm listening to the SACD of 801 Live right now, using my Surround Master v3. Very nice!

I am so tempted by this

Likewise.....and will probably purchase the bundle....always liked Diamond Heads

I hope none of them suffer from the really annoying noise reduction on the 2000 remasters.

Can't believe that's 25 years ago now!

 

[Steve Bruzonsky]

I certainly don’t hear any noise reduction on the SACD of 801 Live! It sounds wonderful!

801's version of TNK is one of the best Beatles covers
Just to be sure, are these all stereo only? Tempted either way

Now that you make me think about it, I can't remember if the overdone noise reduction affected anything other than Listen Now. But it's annoying enough there that I still play the old one and just consult the remaster for the extra tracks.

I have read that 801 live due to the recording technology used was the best live recording of its time!

Thank god things have improved. But it's all good!

True...though I'm pretty sure there were plenty of studio fixes. For one thing, check out the vocals on the bootlegs.

Which isn't to say that it's not an absolutely great album!

 

[Steve Bruzonsky]

801 Live: The album was one of the first in which all outputs from the vocal microphones, guitar amps and other instruments (except the drums) were fed directly to the mobile studio mixing desk, rather than being recorded via microphones and/or signals fed out the front-of-house PA mixer.[citation needed]

I always wondered if the sounds heard at the beginning of the opening track (Lagrima) is from a mic feed in the audience and then synthesized?

 

[H.A.L.]

These arrived today! Along with a massive storm to delay things. Look great, bundled well as a threesome.
Will listen after storms pass. . . .

Just listened to these SACDs. LOUD. Fantastic!
