Reality check=fantasy MCH releases come true

[kap'n krunch]

OK folks, since at this point in time most of my (our) favorite/ seminal albums have become a reality thanks mostly to good 'ole SW, list the one(s) that were in your "wet dream list", let's say, 10 years ago...
I'll start:
Yes-Close to the edge & Relayer
King Crimson- LTIA & 3oaPP
ELP- Trilogy & Tarkus
XTC- Skylarking & O+L
Beatles-SPLHCB & TWA

 

[LuvMyQuad]

The Tull catalog, especially Thick as a Brick

 

[Odys]

Roxy Music’s first album

 

[HomerJAU]

Hendrix - Electric Ladyland

 

[edisonbaggins]

I didn't know about surround music 10 years ago...

 

[wavelength]

Aqualung in lossless...especially after Steven Wilson said at the time that it would only be released in a lossy format. Hearing that, we bombarded EMI with an email-writing campaign and convinced them to change their mind. Those were the days...

 

[HomerJAU]

Here’s another three I went completely bonkers over when I heard their announcements:

Bob Marley - Legend
Bryan Adams - Reckless
INXS - Kick

 

[Hamilton59]

The Beatles
King Crimson
Pink Floyd Immersion Box Sets
Pink Floyd The Early Years, Atom Heart Mother, Meddle
Tomita
Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac

 

[winopener]

All of the above + Guess Who Best 1/2

 

[DoctorO]

Yes--Yes album and Tales

 

[JediJoker]

For me, the biggest dreams come true have been Steven Wilson's Gentle Giant mixes. They're my favorite classic prog band, and he's my favorite mixer. A match made in heaven.

 

[sjcorne]

Chicago Quadio - All their quads in one box?! Unreal. I would've gone crazy just for the Greatest Hits.
Fleetwood Mac S/T - I had that Acura sampler DVD-A with "Monday Morning" for ages, figuring that was all we'd ever get to hear from it.

 

[Plan9]

For me that was Aqualung... or anything Jethro Tull.
Also, anything XTC.

Abbey Road and Sgt Pepper... but I'm not 100% satisfied with these!

 

[SHB]

Caravan In the Land of Grey & Pink

 

[winopener]

Chicago Quadio - All their quads in one box?! Unreal. I would've gone crazy just for the Greatest Hits.

Sure the winner of Best Bang For The Bucks contest.

What is SW?

 

[winopener]

Steven Wilson

 

[quicksrt]

Blonde on Blonde
Just As I Am
Rough Mix
White Album
Quadrophenia

(To name some I really like not all already mentioned)

 

[JediJoker]

What is SW?

Steven Wilson

Just to make that answer clear.

 

[Frogmort]

I never thought in a million years, we would ever get a Steven Wilson surround mix for a Rush album. That one really surprised me. It also really surprised me that they immediately removed Steven Wilson and re-instated Richard Chycki as the remix engineer, to absolutely disastrous results. Still can't believe we got Farewell to Kings though.
