Ooh that's tight....she cried
Took a couple of attempts to get the slip cover to fit.

We had a little break so took time out to listen to this release in Atmos.
This is good, really good. Bob pulled out all the stops with this one.

I hope his house/studio was insured and he didn't lose too many of his life memories

There he is!

My copy is just leaving the UK so it will be awhile before I get it. I still find it hard to believe we don't have more of the Roxy Music catalog in 5.1 or Atmos, or even more of Ferry's solo output for that matter. I've got Avalon, Boys and Girls and Frantic on multi-channel SACD, but that's it. Why they stopped with those titles is a mystery to me. Hopefully sales of this retrospective will convince someone to put out more of this stuff in surround. Unfortunately, the box set of Roxy Music S/T with 5.1 on DVD was just too outrageously priced for me.

SUPERB. Just superb!

SDE interview with Bryan and Rhett Davies.

Ferry: “ I’ve never been into surround sound, particularly, but when he played me Avalon, it sounded incredible. And I thought, wow! And [to Rhett Davis] we’re gradually doing the catalogue now, aren’t we?”

Do we dare dream ...

Later in the interview they mention how excited everyone was with the deluxe/surround edition of Roxy Music S/T and wondered if/when For Your Pleasure would be done. The response basically was "Its time will come". So, the good news is that Bryan Ferry and the folks around him all seem to be very excited about Atmos (as opposed to 5.1 surround) and are open to remixing both the Roxy and Ferry solo catalogs. The bad news for us aging fans is they seem in no hurry to get around to it. I was also happy to read that they feel the albums Flesh + Blood, Avalon and Boys and Girls represent a high point for studio production. All of these need to come out on physical media in Atmos, asap.

…better than hearing the 4 words for “small”:

Is it in yet?!

 

[Mesozoic Mike]

Ordered. I'm going to need a side job to pay for all these new releases.

Ordered. I'm going to need a side job to pay for all these new releases.

Yes, I know. I thought I'd made a decision not to order this as it's on Tidal. Yet, somehow, I have.

 

[madscot]

As a small weird aside, I have close to 300 surround albums and this is my first Bob Clearmountain mix!!! He’s a mixing legend and I find it so strange this is my first

Bryan Ferry is older than you are.
