there's an old Warner DVD-A of Fourplay in 5.1, wonder if they recycled the mix or its a new one..?

 

[fredblue]

also, we didn't get a Bob James MultiCh SACD yet, the last one turned out to be Stereo only! hope they don't make the same mistake twice!

Can't really tell from the description in the link.

i see the word "reissue" and then mention of a bonus cut in Stereo only and i start to doubt its a new mix..

 

[J. PUPSTER]

Lots of typos- ie 5.7 surround. I’ve got the DVD-A so pass on that one, probably same mix. Did Evosound ever correct the first James mistake to stereo?

Probably the same one. The Warner MLP DVD~A 5.1 sounds spectacular ... so why duplicate? As for the Stereo SACD of Bob James Feel Like Making Love LIVE, definitely IN. Those Evosound BJ SACDs sound AMAZING.

I aso have Fourplay ENERGY in SACD 5.1 from the Heads UP label

i don't know why they'd duplicate it Ralphie, maybe the DVD-A's hard to find now so there's demand for it? or they just needed to pad it out with value content.. or it may be a new mix by the fellow who did Mr. Big?

tbh its been years since i last gave the DVD-A a spin but i don't remember it being anything exceptional in Surround terms though, is it better than i remember?

wonder if the Bob James Live's Stereo only after all? the blurb seems to suggest its 5.7? i mean 5.1 of course.. but do they?

I take it the 5.1 on the live album is pretty much confirmed now:

JP, I actually opted for this edition: MQA~CD and BD~V. The way I look at it, for a few dollars more I'm sure the BD~V has the same discrete mix as the SACD and all those MQA~CDs I have sound SPECTACULAR!

That is assumming it's a "LIVE" Discrete , Ralphie.
I would say not too many live discrete 5.1 albums have been released , live discrete is kinda 5.1 in the minority.

So hoping it's in the minority.

You're probably correct, Fizzy. But I would imagine that EVOSOUND will utilize the same mix that's extant on the BD~V as the multi~CH SACD ..... for a few dollars more and the tracks on both from James' 70's/80's output are, IMO, worth the investment!

Knowing you Ralphie, you'd just do a quick turnaround double-tap and order the fully surround SACD anyway right?

During one of Deep Discount's 15% OFF Sales, why not? I WANT IT ALL!

And whatever Ralphie WANTS ...... Ralphie GETS!

This gets confusing now I don't know if I ordered this title, will order from Amazon in case I double dipped.

 

[mandrix]

I've got the DVDA and the SACD, the only two others I've been able to get were dd5.1 "Live in Tokyo" and dts5.1 "live in capetown".

I recently found another SACD I mistakenly double dipped on; you’re with me on the “Pisser Alert - Wish I’d joined the GOS spreadsheet accounting method!”

Just saw my importcds receipt for the new Bob James SACD, it said it will be released tomorrow 11/12, they better deliver this one or else I'll be one unhappy camper with importcds!

You mean the stereo one? Or is there anyther one floating about?
