What's really interesting is that no reissue company has ever gotten a shot at Aerosmith's catalog, surround or stereo. All reissues have come from Sony themselves. What's worse it that they seem intent on hoarding it and doing nothing with it, aside from two SACDs released almost twenty years ago! Maybe there's an artist approval issue? But that hasn't stopped record companies in the past. I'm not trying to start a conspiracy theory or anything, but it seems like there's something else going on here. You'd think MoFi would've taken a shot at any of these titles already (without the quad mix, of course).
I'd agree that the only way these will come out is through Sony themselves, and I'm really not optimistic about it. Fortunately the QLPs and tapes sound pretty good. You can find me rambling on about how amazing the
Rocks quad mix is
here.
