What happened to the quad mix?

I would assume Disc 3 has both stereo and surround mixes.

This is the domestic U.S. release, Thanks.

[Bob Romano]

I don't get how this is a domestic release if BS are on Warners in the US. I doubt it would be released as an SACD by Warners as well given that they have done only DVD-A and recently as DVD DTS2496 only.

[Spencer1812]

These are Universal releases, thru Sancuary UK. There are 2 different sets, Redbook for the US, SACD for the UK. So if you want the SACD you will have to buy the import. I have yet to see anything that amounts to an official press release.

[Baker]

3 sides SACD surely means : "there's the usual CD layer, the SACD stereo layer and the SACD quad layer. As usual. That's one disc for sure. But let's make it three. That sells."

The good point is, that makes sense : one SACD, three mixes of the same album, three "layers" (well, two layers and three sounds), very plausible. Not to forget that Paranoid is a hell of a great record, and the SACD stereo alone could be worth it for those who have worn out their 1970 LP to death !

[Spencer1812]

Could be a Dual-Disc (2-Sided). I E-Mailed CD-WOW this morning for a little clarification. I'm curious about the Quadraphonic Mix. 4.0 ala Moody Blues SACD's would be awesome. I'll post my findings. I want to get my pre-order in this week.

Hope PARANOID is mastered better than the Moodies SACD's....

Exactly.

What is wrong with the Moodies mastering? What's everyone's opinion of them?

I'm expecting $80 bucks worth of Moodies from Amazon to complete the collection before they go OOP because of the change in their catalog coming up.

[timbre4]

They sound fine and I enjoy them. Put up against other issues, some flaws might be apparent. EQ, compression, the usual...

Though not perfect I have no problem with the sound of these.

That's why I have four titles on their way for the same reason you state.....now that the non SACD versions are flooding the shelves it's time to get the SACD's before they're scarce

[Spencer1812]

While the mixes may be different from the way I remember these songs, I seem to hear something new every time I listen to them. I've also changed my audio set-up on my Oppo and my Onkyo, speakers set to small, crossover at 80Hz, new sub, now these discs are truly 5.1. Sure glad I picked up all 7 of these.

[Spencer1812]

Well, here's CD-WOW's response to my question about thier Black Sabbath SACD.

Hi Mike, Thanks for your e-mail message.

Our suppliers have advised us that the 3 sides means 3 parts of the whole SACD (therefore probably dual layered). And Quadraphonic mixes means 4.0 SACD.

If there is anything else I can do for you please don’t hesitate to get back to me.

[wavelength]

I've also changed my audio set-up on my Oppo and my Onkyo, speakers set to small...

Thanks very much for that. I usually set all my speakers to large. I had resigned myself to the fact that there was no subwoofer signal on the Moodies discs. Wasn't expecting any miracles but I took your advice, set my speakers to small and got a nice surprise!

[Spencer1812]

Yeah, I picked up that little tidbit over at the AVS forums, when I was re-searching my new subwoofer. Well, I'm off to Pre-Order the Black Sabbath/Paranoid SACD, $26.10, Free Shipping from CD-WOW.

Yes, "Brain Salad Surgery" (Deluxe 2CD+SACD Edition) is a new release.

http://www.music-wow.com/shop-item_d...?id=UNI%208519

It does not contain - according to the song details - "Lucky Man” that was a bonus track on the DVD-A, but it will be the first time that this title will be released on SACD. The omission of “Lucy Man” on this new SACD version will mean that the DVD-A will probably still go for big bucks.

Amazon has it listed as pre-order status...

http://www.amazon.com/Brain-Salad-Su...9934868&sr=8-2

Their price is quite a bit higher than Music Wow.

[splinter7]

The Amazon price is hopping around quite a bit. It started off at $48.00 and then went to $38.00, down to $36.00 (I pre-ordered there) then went to $38 with linked purchase of ELP and now $43.00

[Analogueghost]

Interesting. Amazon.com shows it as "$35.98+$8.00 sourcing fee" I'll stick with my Amazon.co.uk order which has it at roughly $25....

It also looks like the Black Sabbath release slipped a week, back to October 13th.

[Spencer1812]

Just got word that this release has been delayed until 03/10/2009.

bummer having to wait a whole year !

[beached]

Just got word that this release has been delayed until 03/10/2009.

I'm hoping it's a typo: Should read 10/3/08 for US &/or 3/10/08 for the rest of the world.

[wavelength]

Actually, according to the ISO 8601 standard, it should be 2008-10-03 for the rest of the world.
