RHINO QUADIO batch #6 - Speculation Extravaganza!

[Michael Marshall]

We'd eat up those unreleased 5.1 mixes, too, please!

Yes, yes we WOULD!!!

Likely commissioned during the heyday and cancelled as releases were being phased out.
Same as what we went through with DVD-A's - got a handful of those gathering dust.

Wouldn't be surprised if FM's Tusk wasn't one of the DVD-A that was ready to go, but only to be downgraded later on to DVD-V.

Does that include the two Doors concerts mixed to 5.1?

Seems about right.

So many reissue programs for surround music that fizzled out after very promising starts like DVD-A and Sony’s original SACD line. Here’s hoping that Quadio on BD keeps them coming for a much longer extended period.

I'm pretty sure that's the case for all the Fleetwood Mac 5.1s released on DVD-V in box sets (save Rumours, which made it out in-period on DVD-A, of course).

1975 S/T and Tusk were holdovers from the DVD-A days, but the Mirage 5.1 mix was created specifically for the 2013 box set (there’s an interview in either Tape OP or Sound On Sound where Ken Caillat mentions this).

I was going to suggest that might likely be the case. The 1975 S/T is a very strong album so far as the material, and I love the 5.1 mix, a solid 10. Higher resolution might take it over the top, to a 12 actually. It's that wonderful of an album. 5.1 brought out some extra fidelity over the stereo mix imo. Outstanding material, wonderful mix in 5.1
