1st user vinyl review I've seen on SHF is extremely positive

I didn't place an order for the box set...but I had the vinyl version in my cart via ImportCD's. I was hoping they would give me a $5 discount trying to get me to finish the order...but alas....

Mine arrived from Walmart this morning, and I'm loving it !!!!

When Tears Of Rage began, I was afraid it was going to be front-heavy. I even put my ear up to both rear speakers, and only heard the faintest of echoes. But then, the rears do come into use, and have stayed in use since.
On Caledonia Mission now, and the rears are being used for the piano, and organ.
On The Weight, Levon's drums come from the center channel, with everything else coming from the other 4 speakers.
We Can Talk opens in the rear speakers, and uses them for the vocals throughout, along with the fronts, and center.
Long Black Veil opens in the center, tuba in the rears, harmonies in the fronts.

You mean 269 ? And yes, I just posted it here, above your post in fact.

Yeah, thanks, I edited it, but you're too quick on the draw for me.

Keep 'em coming!

I Shall Be Released begins in the left rear !!! Bob Clearmountain did a beautiful job. I'm covered in goosebumps.

Not bright at all. Has 100% more bass and drums than that pathetic Big Star SACD.

And Myke or MikeZ

I'll be happy with what you described...BUT...I'm sure the "instrument police" might not like the drums being in the center..or this instrument being over here or thereanything but what they "imagine" it should be kinda throws them for a loop...thanks for the early report...now Milt can relax and open up his package as soon as it arrives

Who knows he didn't say. But it's kind of hard for me to believe that Bob Clearmountain's mastering would be that radically skewed depending on format or number of channels.
I happy that there's a least one dissenting opinion although I have no doubt that many will not be happy with the SQ of this set.
Just look at the vilification of Pepper & Giles Martin and even more so for 1.
Personally I think it has as much to do with shitty systems and set ups as not understanding the process and being ignorantly\overly critical.

Who "he" are y'all talking about ? That online review that claimed it was so bright your teeth would hurt ?
