In the September edition of Positive Feedback Online, I wrote an article about plans by Chad Kassem of Acoustic Sounds to record his 17th Annual Blues Masters at the Crossroads Concerts in 8 track DSD for future release as DSD Downloads. (See the article at http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue75/super_hirez.htm).
The big news today is 6 of these blues performances will be going live on the Acoustic Sounds Super HiRez web site tomorrow – Friday, February 20th – for purchase in both Stereo DSD and Multichannel DSD. It will also be the first series of Multichannel DSD downloads on the Super HiRez site. This set of new albums will include performances by blues masters including “Mighty” Sam McClain, Marquise Knox, Joe Beard, Sonny Green, Lazy Lester, Rip Lee Pryor, as well as Moreland & Arburckle and Big George Brock.
Each of the downloads was recorded by a team headed up by Gus Skinas, President of the Super Audio Center along with engineer Katsuhiko Naito and assistant recording engineer Travis Scanlan. Chad Kassem, owner of Acoustic Sounds, oversaw the operation.
The Stereo DSD Downloads will go for $9.98 each – or all 6 for $49.98. Multichannel fans will be excited to learn that Super HiRez will also be selling the 6 concert performances in a combination Multichannel + Stereo DSD offer for $14.98 each or $74.98 for all 6. The Multichannel + Stereo editions will be large file sizes but you will get both Multichannel and Stereo editions for one low price ($14.98), a good deal.
