SDE #34 Bryan Ferry Retrospective [Bob Clearmountain mix]

[fredblue]

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

ooh ee's got loadsamixes!!

I've heard it often said there are few decent surround mixes of the Stones. There's quite a few on that first list. So don't they cut it? (I'm not a big Stones fan, so I don't have them.)

I have the UK one and Bob Marley. The Bob Marley is highly recommended if you don't have it.

Oh actually, I have that Duran Duran one and Howard Jones as well. I think he might have done the Grace Jones BR from a while back too. It's all stereo, but I succumbed to it.

I wouldn't let him in my house unless he's given up smoking!

Bryan Ferry-Retrospective SDE#34 arrived yesterday. Ripped last night, listening to Atmos now.
Just started, so I can't comment except the sound/fidelity is real nice, love the drum sound.
There is quite a bit to listen to, will have to be in chunks.

Bryan arrived at my house this afternoon too. A digibook packaged disc with a slipcover? I'm a prodigous collector of physical media and this is the first time I've seen this. In any event, first listen-through in progress...

Mine arrived at local Logistic Center 4 days ago. Asked me for documentation for import customs. I provided immediately.

4 days later, they are still checking documentation at customs.

BREXIT, what a wonderful thing.

Thompson Twins was like that too. I'm not sure it works that well due to the form. Maybe a slipcase closed on all sides but one would make more sense.

Like with the 'Crowded House Gravity Stars' #23 release. The dimensions of which exactly matched the previous releases. Unlike Thompson Twins #29 and Bryan Ferry #34

Unfortunately, the digibook format seems to be fixed - the Richard Wright BD had the same larger width.

I was thinking of Crowded House but that one is closed on all sides, and can be opened at the top and bottom. What I'd like would open to the side (left or right), akin to something like this:

I almost ordered him by mistake, too. (Ordered his Blu-Ray instead.)

10
I try not to give out too many 10’s but this release just sucks you in. Agree with HenkG. Excited to see if some more Roxy comes out. The speakers get a great workout.

Thanks for the great news! Hadn’t gotten my notice yet. It’s a good day for music.

I liked it, but in my 40Hz-up subwoofer-less condo system, I could have used a bit more concussiveness. I voted a 9. Just two of my favorite songs, too—was expecting a couple more.

Well with today's news, I will be 100 % satisfied.

Correction , It is a glorious day for music!
