Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs New 5.1 and Dolby Atmos Mixes!!

[fizzywiggs41]

Hopefully if Bridge of Sighs sells well [which I predict it WILL], we'll start to see Procol Harum remastered for ATMOS/5.1

My thoughts exactly, Ralphie.

I'm gonna guess Richard Whittaker.

Don’t like hearing that, Jonathan. Whittaker’s surround remix of Vagabonds of the Western World was inconsistent at best and left a lot to be desired.

Itchy trigger finger this morning. Ordered immediately! I need an intervention!!!!

Yeah, you and me both. Let's start a 12-step program–only for us surroundaholics, it'll be 7.1.4 steps! Stay Surrounded, Comrades!

I had the same reaction mostly. Here is my hope. It's my belief that Bridge of Sighs as an original release, has real nice, punchy fidelity. My vinly copy sounds just super. Vagabond, on the other hand....personally, I've never felt the stereo version sounds as punchy as Bridge does. My opinion again.

So, worse case scenario, the surround mix is conservative. Add a conservative mix to a great sounding title, sit in the sweet spot, crank it up. I feel like for $40-45 (import will likely be under $40) you get to hear some live stuff, maybe some out takes, instrumental version and a new Atmos/5.1 mix of one of my very favorite titles....with a 24 page booklet and pics......

I'm still very excited about this. And who knows, if it is Whittaker, maybe he'll be motivated since this is a classic title of great importance. (that's my take on the album's place in history, lol)

Even though it was a 3 piece band, the sound was so dynamic on Bridge of Sighs I feel there are opportunities existing for a great mix.
But since stereo mixes CAN sound more dynamic (not sure that's the right word?) , I guess we'll have to wait and see how well the mixer was able to open it up and spread it around.
Personally, if the mix has good action in the side surrounds I will probably be happy.

I couldn't order fast enough. Just listened to my Japanese SHM CD two days ago.
Smoking weed, in my car in the 70's, what a great, great, album.

On May 17, Chrysalis will help celebrate that 50th Anniversary of Bridge of Sighs with a brand new Stereo Mix and Remaster of the album, and coupling it with outtakes and rarities never heard before, and a CD of a live US show in its entirety from the period. Additionally, a Blu-ray will be packed into the box with 5.1 Surround Mix, Atmos mix, and a collection of outtakes, and instrumental tracks. Sounds like a grand party to me!

The 50th Anniversary reissue of Bridge Of Sighs will be issued in the 3CD/BD Box that will host a filled 24-page booklet, and be packed inside a media book housing. A 2LP set with Half-Speed Mastering, pressed on 180g-weight black vinyl that will be housed in a deluxe double gatefold jacket is being offered. You can also expect DD offerings as well. Pre-order here!

This has been on my wish list forever! And it's priced reasonably. I was lucky enough to see him in his prime back in the fall of '76 at the Spectrum in Philly and a few times after that. Unfortunately, some of the later shows I saw were after James Dewar had passed away, and his was a voice that just can't be replaced.

Immediate pre-order. One of my all time favorite albums from the 70s. This has been on my surround fantasy wishlist for a long time.

 

[GOS]

Any idea who did the mixes?

@sjcorne made a guess with Richard Whittaker, though I'm not sure if Jonathan knows something, or simply just a wild ass guess.

I never heard of him.

 

[GOS]

I never heard of him.

I do know he did the recent Thin Lizzy release, Vagabond of the Western World

 

[trkarp]

I asked Microsoft CoPilot who did the Atmos mix. This is the response:

He also did the Atmos and 5.1 mixes for Kiss Creatures of The Night

 

[J. PUPSTER]

Yeah, he did Vagabond I think. Which, didn't trip my trigger too much.

This is not giving me a warm and fuzzy feeling either (lots of opportunities with swirling fuzz tones though!)

I find that hard to believe since he died in 2018...

 

[The Hoople]

Immediate Amazon preorder on this one.

And if we’re trading concert war stories, the first and only time I saw Trower, the trio was the opener on a 3 band bill with Jo Jo Gunne and headliners Mott The Hoople on their last stateside tour with Mick Ralphs. I don’t think Sighs had even been released yet.

 

[The Pink Floyd]

Instant buy for me. Love this album 1000 fold.

I was lucky enough to have seen him twice. The first was on the Victims of the Fury tour in an old Chicago Theater. The second was at the Park West in Chicago. Both shows were amazing.

I have always considered him in a class of his own.
