This has probably been answered in the thread but I'm clearly lazing on this sunday afternoon - how many multitracks did they use for this record?

Electric Ladyland was recorded in a 12-track studio.

Electric Ladyland was recorded in a 12-track studio.

Thanks! Now I'm even more excited.

In a time when we are supposed to be nearing the end of the physical disc era...we now have 3 of the top 5 releases in 1968(at least on the source I used) with the White Album...Ladyland...Music From Big Pink....the other 2 were Astral Weeks(Van Morrison)and Beggars Banquet(Rolling Stones)….not bad for this tiny surround community

I'm actually surprised that there hasn't been any kind of 50th anniversary release of "Beggars Banquet" yet this year.
It could still happen of course, but I highly doubt it would be in 5.1 surround though...

Although the Stones do have quite a few titles on hi rez ...only one that I can think of right now that was multichannel.... and its not an album..it was that Sympathy for the Devil remix...Beggars Banquet did have a SACD version in 2002 and universal had a SHM-SACD....the Stones don't seem to issue their titles like most of the labels...I don't think they are as anniversary oriented as the other bands...

That Sympathy for the Devil 5.1 remix is AWESOME and goes to show what could be done with the Stones back catalogue. Perhaps with the impending Beatles White Album and the Hendrix 5.1 remixes, the Stones will see the light.

Not that Mick 'n the Boys need the dough, though!

Clint, that's the reason I ignore all of the prognosticators on the Internet forums and just buy what comes around.
The forum Expert Texperts think they have it all figured out when in fact no one has anything figured out.

Sure there are trends & demographic shifts that we all know about but they're not absolutes & ends.
As long as there is enough of a market for special releases they will continue to happen.
Trying to predict what media companies are going to do is a waste of time as they don't know what they're going to do.

I'm happy that we get what we get.

An Astral Weeks 5.1 would be killer

but how does that explain this:

 

[4-earredwonder]

but how does that explain this:

Do you realize how much $$$$$ the Stones were paid by Acura for using this track? As QQ moderator bmoura asserts: Top Acts can command a minimum of $250,000~$350,000 for licensing one song so why should they even consider licensing their single albums to reissue companies for a paltry $30K?

In 1967 money, doubtful Santanic Majesty even cost that much to initially record! That way cool lenticular cover was probably the BIG budget item!

With the money paid to the Stones by Acura, they should hire Steve Wilson to remix Santanic Majesty in 5.1 ............and have $$$ left over to remix Beggars Banquet!

I would do very bad things to acquire that...

Like WHAT?

Haven't you disturbed the Universe enough?

 

[Jim the Oldbie]

Good grief.

I had a dream last night that I got my copy of Electric Ladyland, and the surround mix was all screwed up!

Dreams are so weird...

Quite enough, but my focus is shifting toward Disturbing Our World...

Van was "unique"...even in 1968....along with the talent came a lot of baggage....he was quick to get upset and walk away from a music session....he was frustrated by a contract owned by the "mob"....but someone saw thru all of that and recognized his talent...an interesting overview of the times and situations that evolved around "Van The Man" HERE

Van did not like the idea of Moondance being mixed to 5.1 or alt. versions coming out in a box set of that album. Warner Music offered him a deal that "he couldn't refuse." So he took the cash, and the perks, and grumbled all the way to the bank.

So there is always the chance he could be swayed again.

 

[Ninecats]

Van has stated that he, while not entirely, but largely tours because of the cash. So give him another offer and get that Astral Weeks masterpiece out in 5.1 too!

Van Morrison isn't known for being agreeable or pleasant.
