Nice discs, there, Fred!
The last few days' post have brought me:
Queen- The Game (DVD-A)
Elton John- Captain Fantastic (SACD)
(traded the two above for a copy of Tangerine Dream's Rubycon which I found cheap but was never going to play.)
Also:
Sting- Nothing like The Sun (DTS CD) - price, well not exactly cheap but half the amazon price. That completes my Sting surround collection, although I wish there were surround discs of Soul Cages and Mercury Falling.
Seal- Seal (1994) CD&DVD-A: £18 from eBay US.
Depeche Mode- Tour of the Universe (Blu-ray)
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense (Blu-ray)
Moloko- Statues (SACD) - £30 from eBay Netherlands.
More on the way, too!
Thanks LF! Tho' none of them are anything special, its nice to have them - and I prefer earlier Talking Heads production-wise so I'm particularly looking forward to giving the '77 DVDA a spin!
The Game & CFATBDC are two of my all-time fave albums (in stereo, surround, played back on old tin cans, I could care less, they're amazing records!!) I've no less than 5 different masterings of The Game and CFATBDC apiece.. so they're pretty much up there for me. The 5.1 mixes on both discs are incredible!
re: Stings' incomplete surround catalogue, I'm sure many feel the same way about just about every artist where more than one of their albums got the 5.1 SACD/DVDA treatment!
Off the top of my head, artists that are complete (or currently near complete) in 5.1 are Nick Cave, Talking Heads, The Doors, Genesis.. there must be a few more but they're very much in the minority, compared to artists where they had say 3 or more albums reissued in 5.1 and then the releases stiffed!
Bjork & R.E.M., while extremely comprehensively represented in 5.1, don't count as Bjorks' career is ongoing and not everything until now has been released in 5.1 and pretty much the same for R.E.M. although Warner Bros retired from the DVDA business before R.E.M retired from the music business..!!
That Moloko SACD is the real steal though! Well done getting that for 30 quid now!!
