Dutton Vocalion April 2018 Surround Sound SACDs (Guess Who, Rick Derringer & The Hues Corporation)

[oxenholme]

Thankfully the neighbours are out.

Three gobsmackingly good demonstration material quadraphonic SACDs! They are well and truly superb. I kept on breaking out into a grin as each new delight blasted out of the speakers.

Give me an inch and I want a mile. Please Mr Dutton, loads more like this! I'll get an extension built on the house in which to keep them.

One is over the moon.

I think we can dare to dream now! it's only the tail end of April and already DV have given us two Garfunkels, two Derringers and two Guess Who's, among several other Quad treasures so far this year, who knows what could be just around the corner from this lovely label.. can't wait for the next set of releases, so exciting..!!!

Must wake up soon.

How did I miss these titles ? Two fr The Guess Who and Hues Corp and Derringer....gotta pay more attention in class !!!

I'm really looking forward to hearing how clean the transfer of AAB is? That album has been such a favourite since it was released. Hoping that Jump, Jump, Jump sounds like I can hear it in my head!

Just ordered all three.
Can't wait to hear "Rock The Boat" in quad !

BTW, Adam, how do you rate D~V's stereo SACD of Weather Report's Night Passage?

So glad you enjoyed D~V's latest batch of QUAD SACDs.

No offense to Q8 and SQ/CD~4 vinyl lovers but there's probably NO comparison between those older formats and Michael Dutton's superb remastering from the original QUAD masters.

Thanks for the reviews, Adam and Oxenholme!

I'm still able to get new Classical MC SACDs, but ambient sound only gets you so far. Sometimes ya gotta have the full immersive experience.

Really looking forward to some groovy Quad to rock out to. Thank the stars for Dutton Vocalion

Oh hell yes! I’m buying all of these! Including the Weather Report because I love Weather Report and I want to support DV as much as possible!

Nothing here in quad I was clamoring for, but I’ll take what I can get and who knows what sort of enjoyment I might find!

I was totting up how much I'd spent on trying to get acceptable sound quality copies of the old Quad LPs (and more recently Q8 tapes) of this latest batch of SACDs.

just taking the example of the 2 Rick Derringer Quads (4 x SQ LPs & 1 x Q8 of All American Boy, 2 x SQ LPs & 1 x Q8 of Spring Fever) cost me £189.50 in all.

when you look at the 2-fer SACD for just £11.99 + shipping.. unbelievable.. makes these SACDs to me even more staggeringly great value.

 

[fredblue]

£55 in total for 2 copies of the CD-4 of #10 and 1 x CD-4 of Road Food vs £11.99 for the 2-fer SACD.. I don't regret getting the old Quad LPs one bit, I love them, just for sheer value for money, plus you're getting master tape quality discrete surround sound, better than the CD-4's could ever be, to me these DV releases are awesome!

That's incredible, Adam. Thanks for sharing! Don't worry. You're not the only one on here who's spending a fortune on music. There's a lot of that going around. LOL!

Yep DV is sure bringing home the bacon.

Just one question,

What was thinking Rick Derringer with the Spring Fever album cover?

He really looks like a bad imitation of Brooke Shields in that cover

I was thinking Suzie Quattro!!

 

[sperezmore]

or maybe.......

Farrah Fawcett

I really got "Spring Fever" with her in the 70's

I will never forget how Hot and Beautiful she was when Lionel Richie sang "Three Times a Lady" sitting next to her in a concert back in the 70's

Poll threads are now up for all three titles!

I'm a little slow on the draw. Ordered Guess Who and Derringer. I only know Hoochie Koo from Derringer, but may recognize others. Will be fun to get familiar in quad. Supporting DV was paramount. Love the Guess Who, have the Greatest Hits SACD, but would buy all of their album pairs from DV.

Clap for the Dutton man!
