Avalon SACD is so fabulous I wouldn't add the atmos version to my collection were it available.
Roxy Music -Avalon 40th anniversary Dolby Atmos Mix??

To me there's nothing that can't be bettered with a good Atmos mix.
I was fortunate to get my copy of the "Avalon" SACD when it first came out. It's clearly one of my favorite demo discs. The surround mix is superb.

Very unhappy with the Avalon sacd because I dont have one!!!! Please reissue
The Eagles have their entire catalogue being released on Mo-fi SACD!
Steely Dan have their catalogue released on Analogue Productions SACD!
The Doors whole catalogue on Hybrid Multichannel SACD (Analogue P)!
Roxy Music have announced their entire catalogue on Half-Speed vinyl for their 50th Anniversary celebrations….why not also re-release their catalogue on SACD/Blu-ray

Bob Clearmountain just said Avalon Atmos for July on BBC Radio 4!
Would make for a great addition to SDE's Surround Series, along with the old 5.1 mix.

I was literally just typing the same thing.
C'mon @PaulatSDE!
A Blu-Ray with the remastered stereo mix, 2003 5.1 mix (from the SACD), and the new Atmos mix.
That would be a major winner of a title!
I have the 5.1 SACD mix, and think it so utterly superior to many classic CD's that have been given the 5.1 treatment, that I wouldn't bother with an ATMOS version. If i didn't already have the SACD, I'd order the new version in a heartbeat! One way or another, make sure you own one of them - fantastic!I was literally just typing the same thing.

I would be hoping , that the Atmos of Avalon is the start of something positive , like more albums in surround , by Roxy Music .
Sure would be a treat to have Roxy Music's : For Your Pleasure, Stranded , Country Life , and Siren .

For Your Pleasue - for sure. Would sell my left arm for that! Oh I did, already, for the Pink Floys boxset.....(type with 1 hand)....
I wouldn't get super excited just by hearing Avalon coming in Atmos...because the SACD is so good and I happen to own one haha.
However, when you add "Bob Clearmountain Atmos mix" then I'm immediately giggling like a little kid with anticipation. For me Bob is easily in my top 5 surround mixers list.

Any announcement yet for the physical release?

I'm in the just as good camp.
Wonderful news really, especially for those of us who have become surround enthusiasts, these past few years, unable to pick up a copy of the SACD, now asking exorbitant prices. Also, hoping for some news of a physical release soon, along with the remaining catalogue 
I spoke with Clearmountain in Nashville on Wednesday - he said he has finished the Atmos mixes both Avalon and Boys and Girls, and Avalon should be out next month on streaming services.
I asked if there was a physical disc planned, and he said not that he was aware, so I told him about Paul Sinclair ad Super Deluxe Edition and their Atmos BluRay releases and how much we all love them - hoping to get the ball rolling ;-)

File under: Who Cares. I'd much rather listen to my sterling SACD 5.1 Avalon than the (mostly) crappy, fake Amos lossy bitrate versions that are proliferating (read: clogging up) streaming services because no one buys physical discs anymore--even though they are just vastly superior. So sad.
But I.should expect that from the clueless General Public who let SACD & DVD-Audio flounder even though I distinctly remember that even though they sounded a million times better they were the same freaking cost as the regular CDs ($14.99 @ BB)!!

The vast majority of Atmos mixes on the streaming services are not fake.
