HiRez Poll RUSH - A FAREWELL TO KINGS (40TH ANNIVERSARY STEVEN WILSON 5.1 MIX) [Blu-Ray Audio]

[Elad]

I am not a Rush fan my buddy Mike tried his hardest just could not get passed Getty voice until this CD which change d everything for me.
I call this one of my reference 5.1 cds when friends come over I love to play this. Steven Wilson did an amazing job of mixing it and still continue to go back to this from time to time it is that good. I am giving it a 10. I do like Rush as musicians they are extremely talented and for me Farewell to kings is what a good discrete surround should sound like.

I really wish I could afford this - just to hear Xanadu in surround - but they appear to have only done one production run, and used copies are now astronomically expensive. I'll wait a few years and see if the asking price comes down.

Anybody else notice the needle drop in the first 4 seconds of the first song? The source for this Blu-ray disc is evidently a LP/Vinyl. I also hear this on the 2015 remaster...

The acoustic guitar intro was recorded outdoors. Are you sure that's not what you are hearing?

 

[Alex Vlach]

No, it's the needle hitting the record before music starts...

Lol... It's not a mistake, it was recorded intentionally. It can be heard on the original vinyl records!

I thought fake vinyl sounds were a thing of the CD era! Isn’t it somewhat redondant to put fake vinyl sounds on a vinyl?!

The 2015 remaster was sourced from the original stereo master tape, transferred and mastered by Sean Magee at Abbey Road Studios. The 5.1 remix was completed using digital transfers of the original multitrack tapes. No vinyl in the chain, unless it was used back when the album was originally recorded and mixed.

As @JediJoker has said... Of course the Blu-ray disc recording is not "sourced" from a vinyl disk.
