`Just got home from being out of town for the holidays. Had a lot of free time to surf the web, so my mailbox was overflowing with surround music by the time I got home. Currently listening to my first JSP blues purchase, Byther Smith Addressing the Nation With The Blues. Great blues with nice surround mix. Have not got through the entire disc yet, but so far, so good.

The Marmite of mixes!
Listening now. You're not kidding! :yikes
Nosound - Lightdark. My first buy of what I hope will be another bumper 5.1 year :banana:. This is good stuff. A very good surround mix. Excellent music too. Reminiscent of Floyd in places. Also some similarities to Crippled Black Phoenix, an excellent band with some fine albums, but unfortunately none yet in 5.1.

BRAVO! :banana:
One of my favourite albums of all-time and one of my favourite modern (post-Quad) surround music mixes
So many clever little bits in the 5.1, like the vocal panning in "Feel no pain (no pain) no regrets (no regrets).. when the line's been signed you're someone else.. do yourself a favour the meal ticket does the rest.." still gives me the heebie-jeebies all these years later!
and I'm guilty of loving and hating it! when I got the DVD-Video, I loved it.. then I got a DTS rip of the DTS CD and hated it.. then I got an SACD rip (as a DTS CD-R) and loved it again.. then I got the SACD itself and hated it.. then I got the DTS CD and loved it!
@:These are very weird, very inconsistent, aggressive mixes that don't always make sense and my own reactions to them at various times over the years have been similarly all over the place.
At least they're not just ambience or double stereo but they are possibly David Tickle's low point in his surround music mixes (the John Hiatt/Bring The Family DVD-A/SACD Surround mix he did OTOH is superb IMHO).

It improved as the album wore on. The first few tracks had me checking whether my sub was on or my bass redirection had been altered. I pulled the disc out, stuck an EJ disc in, sounded great, put The Police in, bass light
But as the album wore on, things improved. The alternate version of Da Do Do Do... threw me a bit! I'd forgotten that version existed (with good reason!). But, it's not a diabolical album so I'll persevere. I do like how I can hear far more detail in these songs on this album though.BRAVO! :banana:

Looking forward to listening to this tonight
Wonder where the other three discs have gone? I ordered them all from the same Amazon Marketplace seller at the same time

In the 70's about 77 or so, we went down to NYC for the day. Got lost trying to find the GW bridge, and stopped to get directions at a toll booth. After getting them, this stretch limo pulls up to the booth, I just happen to look, and in an open window is Sir Elton himself! He looks up at me smiles and says hello. I say hi, not fully realizing who it was. I turned to go back to my car and it hit me. So, again I turn around and look and he is still looking at me with the Elton John grin. I didn't know what to say! He was ready to talk to me, so I say "Hey! Your Elton"-he says with the grin, 'I am" And this-he says turning to his passenger is Bernie" At that point they drive off. I must have stood there an eternity, In disbelief. When I got back to the car and told my friends no one believed me. It did not matter, because I know he spoke to me!

Who's the seller? I've known some of them send stuff individually even if you order it all from the same seller at the same time.

Dodax Online UK. They claim to be UK based but I think they get around that by having a UK based forwarder. I'm sure the product comes from Germany to their UK forwarder, who then sends it to a UK address and can them 'legitimately' claim to be a UK based seller.

Definitely one of my favorite EJ discs (tied with GYBR). When I start singing "Tell Me When the Whistle Blows," my two youngest daughters (10 & 12) sing along with me (that's how much play time it gets on my ELS system in the Acura). Recently found a copy of the live version ("Midsummer Music" at Wembley Stadium, 21 June 1975) of the entire album that is worth a listen, too (not 5.1). I met Phil Dunne (remixing engineer for both CF and Blue Moves) back in 1984 in FL. It was interesting talking to him about how he remixed both albums.

Before it got released legit there was a bootleg of the whole (notorious) Wembley 75 gig out there (in terrible quality, I guess it was an audience recording) for some years, which I managed to track down some 15-ish years ago.. it had interesting things that were in the setlist (*) at the time (incl. Dixie Lily and the then unreleased Chameleon which had originally been written the year before for the Beach Boys who never recorded it and didn't appear on an Elton record until next years' Blue Moves).. when the bulk of the gig appeared on the Deluxe Edition of CFATBDC (in superb quality) it was quite the revelation as it was commonly held among fandom that the soundboard of the gig hadn't survived.
Ultimately however that day belonged to the Beach Boys who, legend has it, brought the house down and it was a rare colossal flop of a gig for EJ with reported droves of people leaving thru his set as he persevered in playing the entire new album from start to finish (something he never repeated).. still it is worth tracking down if you're into Elton for curiosity's sake if nothing else (the extended vamp/jam in "Curtains" is incredible and gives a pointer to the sort of sound the Westies' band would soon cook up on the more uptempo numbers on ROTW & Blue Moves) and a real rattle thru Pinball Wizard.. SNAFF with Jeff Skunk Baxter making a guest appearance is very loose and all over the shop.. definitely historical, at times hysterical.
(* Setlist: Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding; Rocket Man; Candle in the Wind; The Bitch Is Back; Dixie Lily; Philadelphia Freedom; Chameleon; Bennie and the Jets; Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds; I Saw Her Standing There; Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy; Tower of Babel; Bitter Fingers; Tell Me When the Whistle Blows; Someone Saved My Life Tonight; (Gotta Get A) Meal Ticket; Better Off Dead; Writing; We All Fall in Love Sometimes; Curtains; Pinball Wizard; Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting)
