Sonny Rollins - Way Out West Fantasy Hong Kong 2003 SACD multi-channel

[Steve Bruzonsky]

I just ran across this and had never heard that this came out in multichannel back in 2003!

has anyone heard this and how is it?

I'm pretty sure that this is a typo - I live in Hong Kong and would have bought this, if it was really multichannel.

There is some (marginally relevant) discussion here:

This disc is truly in surround, from what I see online.

@soundboy might have info on the mix?

Yes it is a surround mix.
I'll pull it out and refresh my memory.
Stay tuned!

And the prices for the 3 for sale listed at Discogs are rather expensive

Don't take too long! The suspense is killing me/or I'm peeing in my pants with excitement!

Thanks for reminding me to short my "Depends" stocks!
Anyhoo on to the mix..
It's a fairly conservative 5.1 front heavy mix.
There is some panning but from memory it seems to track what was already in the stereo mix.
Nothing spectacular at all.

Thanks. I'll scratch this off my wants! I already have the stereo Analog Productions SACD and the much later stereo Craft Recordings 192-24 , the latter which I've read sounds the best and which I have verified on my system as well.
