The Collection: An Adventure In Sound - Audio Fidelity 4.0 Multichannel SACD (May 2016)

[rtbluray]

We will know what we're supposed to know when we're supposed to know it (or shortly before then anyway)
Otherwise, Audio Fidelity would end up being like Acoustic Sounds/Analogue Productions or Mobile Fidelity with announcements of an SACD reissue followed by months (if not years) of waiting for an exact release date.

BOC, The Isley Bros, E,W & F, Santana, The O'Jays....!!?

In the meantime, don't forget the Multichannel SACDs now available from Audio Fidelity.

I'm happy to say that I'm basically all caught up on getting the Audio Fidelity Multichannel SACDs I want, with "Muscle of Love" and my repurchase of "Blood Sweat & Tears" on the way. Not really that interested in Judy Collins and the R&B titles, but I did put Sly & The Family Stone on a Christmas wishlist.

Getting 'em all "day one", not gonna miss one of these blighters -- they're already going out of print..!!! :yikes

Yes! Anything off the album would be wonderful!

Did you try the SQ of that track thru your Surround Master? It makes a good fist of it I reckon!

Tbh those two BOC Quads have become some of my most played SQ LPs, the mixes are super active and up the entertainment levels big time.. though I think some may take issue with vocal vs instrument balances being a bit out of whack if the Quad tapes are the same as the LP, certain things are pretty pulled back and others more upfront relative to the stereo.. but as a hugely engaging and exciting alternative to the 2-channel it's quite a thrill ride!

Above all it would be nice to finally hear it no longer hamstrung by SQ decoding and limitations or "features" of old vinyl and the erm.. limitations (etc) of Q8, well just without it being on Q8 or SQ LP really would be great..!

Yes - I did ... sounds great via the Surround Maestro SQ Vinyl

This compo sounds like a winner...

Does anybody know when that AF surround sampler with Isleys, O'Jays, etc is coming out?

A little bird told me Summer of 2016.....or was it a wise old owl?

Speaking of samplers...does anybody remember this one

That's also what I remember hearing, Summer 2016. Hope that's still when they are shooting to have it released!

This is an early rough draft of the front cover that Brian Moura posted:

Keep in mind however that the exact artists and content of the SACD are still TBD, but regardless, it should be great!

As soon as I or Brian get permission, we will post the jpg of the final cover. And a new thread will be created specifically for this disc, as it will generate a LOT of questions!

Until then, save yer pennies...........

Hehe

Gene Genie you have NOOO idea how pant-pissingly excited I am at the succulently juicy mouth-watering prospect of Quad selections of Harold Melvin, the Isley Bros, the O'Jays, Santana, etc.. Fresh from the master tapes and given the Audio Fidelity surround SACD treatment... Roll on Summer...!!!! :banana:

I (heard through the grapevine) that more than one various artists collection was being worked on. It could be a one-two punch release schedule. It probably depends on how many tracks can be cleared for takeoff.

I just want more album rock and hard rock releases. But I can't complain because we got Alice Cooper and that was an important one to get other than the fact that there was a decent Q4 conversion already out there.

So anyway, the Columbia vaults are just begging to be excuvated for some Rock & Roll. R&B is great, but I want to rock and let my neighbors know that I have not mellowed out one bit!

Johnny, Edgar, BOC, Aerosmith, the real stuff!!!! You see, Shock Treatment and Get Your Wings were never on dsd SACD!!! And Saints and Sinners I like a lot too. BOC I would expect to sound killer as well.

You see how this line of quad-super-discs has a long way to go yet! Just getting warmed up yet.

It certainly would be cool if Audio Fidelity could manage to pull off two Quadraphonic Sampler SACDs, one from the Sony catalogue (which would be the one pictured above) and one from the Warner catalogue. Both labels' catalogues have lots of great tracks that could be exploited on sampler collections, so hope springs eternal once again!

There is a list of artists from the ad on Page 53 of the Winter 2015, Edition 0.9 Acoustic Sounds catalog, but no song titles yet.
