Paul Simon - There Goes Rhymin Simon, that's a great title as well, along with Kraftwerk. And Otto's list says it all too. Just getting titles out has to be a herculean effort with many unforeseen hurdles. So, we must keep that in mind and enjoy the titles we get.
As it is, I'm dying for the titles already in the mail and coming down our way!

Very true. The twists and turns along the way can make you wonder how any of these titles get to the finish line and the market.

The agreement between Audio Fidelity and Elliot Scheiner is designed to get more Multichannel SACD titles to market. Not necessarily new mixes.
But the Christmas album by the New York Voices has a new Multichannel mix by Elliot Scheiner. As for future releases, we will see.
I love Derek's list, have quoted it several times in the past (although a few don't exist like MU) add Uriah Heep - Return to Fantasy while we're at it.
The subtext so far is some existing quads in best ever form as most likely to see the light of day and that is why I requested the Paul Simon title.

The answer is several fold. Artists performing in the Jazz, Classical and Acoustic genres - and their fans - are more focused on quality sound which results in more interest and releases in high resolution audio formats.
I can recall one instance awhile back where a rock band was asking "how to add more distortion" to a planned Multichannel Hi Res audio release.
That kind of request isn't made during a Jazz, Classical or Acoustic session - or by their fans. And it does make you wonder how serious some artists are when it comes to high quality sound.
In order for AF to get a quad title, they have to:
1) Request a surround master from the label
2) Get clearance to release it (artist, label, publisher, etc)
3) See if the market for a STEREO SACD of the title is there (it hasn't been recently released by AF or another label)
4) Determine that the market will support the stereo/surround title enough to validate it's selection
5) Evaluate the source material to see if it's still good enough to use
Things like KBFH and BBC broadcasts have been released (some by Silverline) to little fanfare, and to be honest, the surround value on most of these '70s era live concerts is pretty pathetic.
The window on disc based audio software is closing fast. I think Marshall has moved pretty fast with his surround SACD product line so far. I am very glad to see that the current titles and upcoming titles are getting good reaction here. It's a great compliment to the work coming from the Steven Wilson/Neil Wilkes side of the pond. Between these two sources, we are in better shape than we could have possibly dreamed in 2008, when the well was running dry.
(PS - If you are looking for harder rock, you really should check out Kickhunter and Ogre from Quadro-Surround. These are excellent harder edge surround releases http://www.quadro-surround.de/english/avaiable_productions.html )

That's true in terms of completely new mixes. But if you listen to the Multichannel mixes on SACD so far, you will notice that AF is "tweaking" the original 5.1 and 4.0 mixes in some cases.
To my ears, their tweaks are improving the final product (Breezin', Best of Guess Who, Winelight being prime examples).
Well said.
In 2015 we will see more Multichannel disc releases. And even more Multichannel releases as downloads than on disc.
The 6 Multichannel DSD releases today from Acoustic Sounds are just the beginning of what is to come. More news there soon....
The first Boston album would be great. I talked to Brad Delp at one of his Beatlejuice concerts, and he confirmed a quad mix was done. bmoura, any chance you could put a bug in AF's ear about this possibility?
OK, fair enough. So what unreleased ES mixes are sitting in the vaults?
The ES 5.1 mix of Band of Horses: Laredo has never been released.
LizardKing
2K Club - QQ Super Nova
They could correct the rear channels too....
I'd rather they do the Quads of Live It Up/Heat Is On/Go For Your Guns/Harvest For The World/Survival/Family Reunion first but if they revisit 3+3 & Ship Ahoy instead deffo rejig the rears, yes!
