SACD Wish List

[timbre4]

Matt at Music Tap ( http://www.musictap.net/ ) is collecting SACD wish list titles and I limited myself to one for each band/performer. He suggests listing more obscure titles that obvious mega-star titles.

All titles should be 5.1 surround mixes......Happy New Year! Tim

Weather Report - Heavy Weather

Heavy Weather by Weather Report has been out on a Single Layer Stereo SACD for some time from Sony Music.

They actually had plans to do a reissue in SACD Surround but it was cancelled.

That's true, Heavy Weather is a catalog album that gets trotted out with every new Columbia format. But to me, those 2.0 SACD only discs don't even count. I don't ever buy them being neither hybrid nor surround. Not proceeding with a surround version is a second Sony mistake.

Do you ever hear anything about Edgar Winter Group - They Only Come Out At Night? What a criminally ignored album by Columbia Legacy. It was certainly gold status if not platinum with two hit singles and an existing quad mix that many of us would love to have. There could be at least 3 bonus tracks as well with a B-side and two single mixes.

Yea, I always hated that dts put out some other Edgar Winter title, ignoring this one. This is the best quad title of all of them, or pretty close anyway. It even sounded good thru a lousy Sony SQD2020, at least that one part in Frankenstein. Good SQ show off LP.

When DTS put out Jasmine Nightdreams it was also a title not available on stereo CD in the states and rare altogether. Having said that, it's too bad the tent was folded before the Columbia/Epic quad masters were exploited more fully....

Actually the DTS release was put together by the late Brad Miller when he was working with DTS and his HDS (High Definition Surround) record label.

I suspect he selected the Jasmine Nightdreams title due to lower licensing costs than what They Only Come Out at Night would have run.

We could ask Tad Bartel about that as he worked with Brad Miller on the HDS DTS 5.1 CD series.

Hello!

I have the Mysterious Traveller by Weather Report SACD and it is Multitrack 5.1. Pretty good mix by the way!

Cheers!

It's an interesting one. And the "Celebrating Weather Report" Surround SACD on Telarc is also good if you like some more ambitious Surround Sound and Weather Report interpretations.

Just did a QQ forum search for "Owsley" and found your list, Tim. As you may recall, Owsley decided to leave us one year ago today. My heart still breaks for him.

His self-titled album is one of my all-time favorites, as I imagine it is for all of the few who heard it. What a masterpiece. "Sonny Boy" is filling my room with joy as I write this!

 

[timbre4]

Hmmmm, my reply didn't post yesterday...

No I didn't know that happened. How sad, remember the good.

Interesting mix...prog and others..... I wasn't expecting to see groups like "The Chills, Schnell Fenster & Split Enz" come up in anyones list.... but I'd go for those ....

A couple of these have now been done (e.g. PT and King Crimson) have you thought about doing a revised list?

 

[timbre4]

I haven't really thought about lists in a while, maybe so.

Love those bands!
