For some reason, that one always sort of bored me. But, I WOULD NEVER SELL IT CAUSE I'M AN ELTON JUNKIE!

Yeah, I get it, probably due to it not having any well known hit songs on it. Not saying that it matters really, but maybe subconsciously we all have a little of that "Hititis" thang.

And now, back to my weirdly scheduled programing

A severely underrated album!

BTW, Clement, this was a companion Silverline MLP DVD~A 5.1 disc with two funky versions of Rapper's Delight! Bought it from AmazonUK!https://www.discogs.com/Sugarhill-Gang-Best-of-the-Sugarhill-Gang/release/3233833

the usual Silverline dross, i imagine..
i do have the disc but i don't remember ever playing it, which isn't usually a good sign, especially when its my kind of content.

Good day people!

Today I’m FINALLY getting to listen in 5.1 surround to ...

Dave Grusin - Two For The Road on DVD-Audio
https://www.discogs.com/Dave-Grusin-Two-For-The-Road-The-Music-Of-Henry-Mancini/release/5827541Yayyyy!

This has been a long time coming for me. Several years ago, I ordered a used DTS 5.1 copy of this disk. I love Henry Mancini and Diana Krall and was anxious to hear her sing Dreamsville and Soldier in the Rain in surround!

https://www.discogs.com/Dave-Grusin-Two-For-The-Road-The-Music-Of-Henry-Mancini/release/6307848
I received my order, opened the case, put the disk in my player, and proceeded to listen to some unknown classical music?!?! What, this is NOT Peter Gunn?!?! I checked the disk and it has the correct label for the Dave Grusin DTS disk but it has the wrong music recorded on the disk. It has 4 classical music tracks in DTS surround sound. This appears to be a factory labeling mistake. I didn’t feel I could successfully complain to the shop I bought this from since it certainly appears to be the correct Dave Grusin disk I ordered. So I decided to take my lumps and try again. I found another used copy listed, ordered the disk, recieved the disk, and once again it was just like the first with 4 classical tracks! Aggghhhh! Well, that was enough for me so I ordered a standard stereo CD of the album so I could finally hear these songs....

Years pass....

Recently, this album has been brought up on this thread along with Grusin’s West Side Story. I bought the West Side Story DVD and thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought it’d be nice to follow it up with the Two For The Road disk so I searched through my collection and found the two mislabeled DTS disks and the stereo CD...but no surround version. I’d forgotten that I’d given up and bought the CD.

So, I found a seller on Discogs that had a new in shrink wrap copy of the DVD-Audio disk that I bought...and now finally I get to listen to this music in not only surround, but lossless DVD-Audio...yay!

nice one! congrats getting the pot at the end of the rainbow!

how bizarre and how unlucky were you with not one but two dud DTS CDs of it!!
i had the DTS some years (with the right tracks on it! phew!) but had the DVD-A on the wishlist and well a lot of that stuff fell by the wayside when old Quads took over life and all reason!! still, great score on a nice album and decent mix if i remember

all these colours are searing my chakra! or as Ralphie would say; i'm verklempt!

is this thing in 5.1 or Atmos?

 

[EricKalet]

With the EJ chat earlier, I'm putting these into rotation

 

[fredblue]

The only surround elton i don't have

its maybe not as good as the others but it's still good in its own right.. and those classics are a tough act to follow.. some nice tunes and a solid mix

My oppo's shuffling through another EJ beauty -Anything look familiar?
What's interesting is just how great these EJ SACDs really are, as I hear various other titles, the rear channels in the EJs are just so tastefully mixed with the instruments popping out discretely in a good way!

lets hope so! i've had enough of this year as it is, it'd be a blessed relief to just eat an apple and snuff it!

"take a bite dearie.."

"..her breath will still,
her blood congeal
and then i'll be the fairest in the land..!!!
ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaa!!!"

ugh, i need a lay down, i'm verklempt!

"snow..
cement..
and ivory young towers,
someone called us Babylon,
those hungry hunters tracking down the hours..
but where were all your shoulders when we cried,
were the darlings on the sidelines
dreaming up such cherished lies
to whisper in your ear before you die.."

that's the poetry i studied right there, i should've been doing Homer instead of homos but Freddie and Elton were more epic than the Audyssey, i mean Odyssey!

BECK .... ODELAY ......

I played it just to piss Snood off!
