Don't like the taste of that Mofi b!tches brew.. it hasn't got any of that special surround sauce in it..!
What we need now is some "strange brew".
You know I wasn't being entirely serious, Ryan.. (hence the wink! )
Just so long as this is in Surround when it comes I really don't care about a delay (and at this point I don't care what packaging it comes in, bundle it in with free Happy Meals if it helps shift some units opcorn )
Or bundle it with a Quad copy of BLUE OYSTER CULT (debut)...I certainly wouldn't complain too loudly.
Yeah, except that BOC's debut album was never mixed (or at least never released in Quad.)
Now they could have bundled "Secret Treaties" with "Tyranny & Mutation". I think everyone would have been happy with a Quad double-pack like that!
Since they are releasing ST in Quad/Sacd, what do you think the chances that they'll go ahead with T&M at a later date?? @:

Not sure. We do know that the tapes exist and are in good condition because a track from T&M appeared on "The Collection" SACD a few months back.
Plus, T&M has never been released on SACD, so that also bodes well for an SACD release from AF in the future.
I guess it really just depends on how well "Secret Treaties" sells.
..... but Steve Hoffman himself said that what Sony released back in the day is just a fraction of what got mixed into Quad (and he should know) which is both an exciting prospect and something I find slightly depressing at the same time since maybe we will never get to know what those unreleased Quad titles are/were, let alone hear any of them..
I'd read where he said that as well. By perusing the Billboard magazines and whatnot that are available through Google, I've found articles that mention easily a dozen top-tier artists that had Quad albums as coming soon or available now (but were incorrect on that).
Titles like:
SuperTramp - Crime of the Century
Sly & Family Stone - There's a Riot Goin' On (and) Heard Ya Missed Me, Well I'm back!
The James Gang - 16 Greatest Hits
Blue Swede - Hooked on a Feeling
Queen - Self Titled Debut
Poco - From the Inside
Eagles - Desperado (and) Self Titled Debut
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Natty Dread
ZZ Top - Fandango!
Country Joe MacDonald - Paradise with an Ocean View
Joni Mitchell's "Blue"
Gordon Lightfoot - Gord's Gold
Black Sabbath - Sabotage
James Taylor - Sweet Baby James
Deep Purple - Burn
Foghat - Energized (and) Rock & Roll Outlaws
Jimi Hendrix - Crash Landing
Not to mention the ones we've now learned actually did exist!
Edgar Winter's White Trash
Johnny Winter's Self Titled Debut
Laura Nyro - Eli & The 13th Confession
Paul Revere & The Raiders - Hard & Heavy w/ Marshmallow
Big Brother & The Holding Co. - Cheap Thrills
I'm willing to believe that many of the rumours may actually be true other than the ones' where we've been told straight-up by those who have access to the vaults. I think that includes a couple Allman Brothers albums that have been confirmed to have never been mixed.
Ps. iirc QQ Member Old Quad Guy said one time on this forum he was sure he saw an SQ LP of BOC's Agents Of Fortune (and also he came across an SQ LP of Dave Mason's "Let It Flow") which would be wonderful if Sony holds those kind of things in their vaults.. I wouldn't lay money on any other unreleased BOC Quads existing but Steve Hoffman himself said that what Sony released back in the day is just a fraction of what got mixed into Quad (and he should know) which is both an exciting prospect and something I find slightly depressing at the same time since maybe we will never get to know what those unreleased Quad titles are/were, let alone hear any of them..
I know you asked Ryan, Gene.. but imho chances are slim to nil, sadly
Why do you think this? I assumed it was coming when 7 Screaming Dizbusters showed up on The Collection. If I have to, I'll buy The Collection just for this one song, but I'd much rather have the full album.
fredblue said:It was suggested at one point (don't know by who or when) The Collection had stuff on it that had no chance of AF doing it on Surround SACD.
That's not correct.
Tracks on The Collection could be released as part of future SACDs or Multichannel SACDs from Audio Fidelity.
Well then, whoever it was (can't be bothered looking it up ) stands corrected and I retract what I repeated
To be clear, are you categorically stating that there has been a 'volte face' on the AF policy of not reissuing titles which were formerly released on SACD?
