Suggestions for Dutton Vocalion Multichannel SACD Releases

[H.A.L.]

Am I wrong to hope and pray for a Firesign Theatre 2-fer: I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus & Everything You Know Is Wrong?

I have the second one in surround, but not the first ("squeeze the wheeze")! FT are great, although probably not to the taste of modern youth. . . .

That as good a reason to reissue it as I can think of...lol...

To save Clement shame, I was the one who said it. But heck, a lot of the surround market is going to us old folk (try to get a Gen Z to listen to Paul Mariat ).

Apologies, Halbroome, I'll edit it. Thanks for the correction...

How about ANY Steeley Dan, have Gaucho- great disc!

 

[Bob Romano]

I thought it would be good because a) it’s rare and b) it goes for big money. I used to have it when quad was happening but of course it hit the dust long ago. I really like the album.

Would also like to see 'Remember The Future'. 'Journey To The Centre Of The Eye' has gotten a 5.1 and two different SACD releases, but nothing else except 'Live In New York' as far as I know. Maybe it's missing or unusable... Anybody know?

I have Remember the Future on SACD and it has the quad mix. Goes for big $$ these days though

Remember the Future could be re- done much better by Mr. Dutton. The current SACD was "manipulated into 5.1 and de-noised"
I hate it when they do this.
I would much rather hear the original "Quad" version.

Please make this one available to the masses....
And while you're at it will you please put the vocals in the front channels?

Steely Dan with liner notes by @steelydave. Now how cool would that be!

He did a fantastic write-up on the Steely Dan quads over on SHF way back in 2009. See post #12.

Jonathan, thanks for the link! There are also a few words in that thread from Monsieurs Urban(Jon Urban, a Quad Legend and not an urban legend!) and Geller.

And also release the QUAD MIX in a HIGHER RES FORMAT while you're swapping the channels?????????

How about a Dutton Vocalion T shirt. I'd buy one.

Did Curtis Mayfield 1972 Roots LP come out in Quadraphonic Mix LP?
Be great if that could come out on SACD by the Great Dutton Gentleman.

it came out on Quad 8-track tape only, no Quad LP release afaik.
i think the Curtom stuff may be controlled by the estate now, they may be up for it, maybe not.

Speaking of Earth, Wind, and Fire, I have the Audio Fidelities -- and in the post, the DVs -- and just last night noticed another one of their albums is surround: GRATITUDE.

Any comments on the quality of that one? As a completist, I feel the itch. . . .

I think it sounds great. The live tracks are fine, IMO. Not just ambience in the rears. and the studio tracks are outstanding. More than just "completist" to get this one. I think it's essential.

And yes, the AF titles are good too. I didn't balk at all at paying ~$30 each for those. And, as much as I like those albums, they were clearly just warm-ups for EWF hitting their stride with the next 5.

If only "All n All" and "I Am" had been given the 5.1 treatment along with "Gratitude"...

Oh well... having the 5 that we do have now is tremendous!

Any chance of 'All together now' being released on quad? Really its the only one I am interested in.

Unlikely, as it was not released in quad back in the 1970s.

This one is way up there, near the Tops for me!
