Suggestions for Audio Fidelity Multichannel SACD Releases

[fredblue]

maybe with all this Bowie/STS type chat we're getting away from the topic in hand of AF MultiCh suggestions? although will they ever release anything in Surround again?
seems kinda doubtful, sadly, they put out some great stuff.. who knows maybe they will make a dramatic comeback to our scene in 2018..! :yikes

I just heard transfers of some Motown stuff and it is fabulous. I'd love to see AF issue those mixes (if they can find them).

Maybe Dutton could get on this.

you might find the 5.1 cheaper by grabbing the promo set (i picked one up on eBay a couple of years ago, much cheaper and smaller than the box and no vinyl.. hooray! arty )

That really doesn't look like a legit release.

thanks Snood mate, that's reassuring its probably the real deal after all :upthumb (shocking to see its going for about as much money as the box now though so not worth pursuing as a cheaper alternative to the box anymore, halbroome et al, sorry for leading you up a blind alley! :yikes )

Where can I find this?

I wouldn't call it an upmix if multi stems were used. An upmix is from stereo.
May not be authorized, but it's a mix.

please check your PMs

(you're right its not an upmix, it's a 5.1 mix from stems. there's been some dispute as to its' origins, etc but people who have heard it have expressed enjoying what they heard all the same)

the Motown Quads are indeed excellent candidates for AF or DV MultiCh SACDs!

personal favourites are;

1990 : Temptations,
All Directions : Temptations,
Diana & Marvin : Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye,
Greatest Hits : Supremes,
Last Time I Saw Him : Diana Ross,
Let's Get It On : Marvin Gaye,
What's Going On : Marvin Gaye

I've not heard the Jackson 5 Hits Quad so can't comment on the mix.

The various Motown Live Quads I picked up on CD-4 I found underwhelming from a surround pov., i never play them whereas I play a number of the above studio Motown Quads often.

The Supremes Hits Quad may be a bit too revisionist/removed from the familiar hit mixes for some (unlike the other Motown Quads I've heard which I found to be pretty faithful to the Stereo, albeit all with some different elements and edits from their Stereo counterparts).. still i enjoy The Supremes Hits Quad all the same, its a lot of fun!
