you're welcome
don't they look cute!
to me, pretty much everything about these releases is done with an eye for detail, even down to things like the colour schemes used on the spines and the inlay art on the rear of the jewel case being a close match for the art on the old Quad LPs in a couple of instances!
across the board the sound quality is (imho) second to none, the Pure Prairie League is the 'brightest' sounding of the new August foursome, to me it sounds like the master tapes were absolutely pristine, it has a touch more top end sheen to the sound than the RTF, Santana & Jimmy Castor but they're all a joy to listen to.. the Return To Forever needs a good crank of the master volume to really kick in that wow factor on my setup but its so superior to the SQ LP and the Q8 conversion I've heard its not even funny (and they to me are excellent examples of SQ and Q8..) the Jimmy Castor walks all over my 2 copies of the CD-4 LP, both in terms of fidelity and separation .. and the Santana, weird as it is as an album (imho) the surround mix by Glen Kolotkin is --- awesome, I think you're all gonna love the mix...!!! the liner notes are now full of interesting info and commentary and genuinely worth reading. I do try and read liners as often as possible but sometimes you're a paragraph in and you just know its gonna be a snoozefest, ok I'm biased somewhat but Dave's essays for Dutton Vocalion ably straddle that line between the factual and the anecdotal keeping it an interesting read along while you're listening to all that glorious sounding Quad music pouring out of all the speakers (and whaddya know they get it all in the right channels too! ).. keep up the exemplary work DV.. and roll on September!! :upthumb
Awesome!!!!!
