4 More Quadio titles coming in October!

[cbmmm3]

I got lucky
When AF went out of business they had a website for direct, online sales. sealed copy 002 was available for about the same price as used copies on ebay.
I could not pass this up

but realistically I assume there will be no sonic difference between 002 and 1763

No time to scroll back. Has an announcement been made?

 

[Bill B]

The bundle deal will be available on Rhino.com just like last time (with everything shipping together!) No idea if what the UK Dig! store will take.

No. Just another hint.

Ah, cool. What are the hottest possibilities?
What are the possible groaners?

My AF Spectrum is #949

 

[key_wiz]

I agree nearly 100%....other than maybe The Spinners as the Atlantic R&B. I'll be happy with either!

yep. I'd be happy with either as well. I just prefer AWB because it's a stronger album (IMO) than the Spinners stuff, of which I have little interest in beyond the hit singles.

My hope is we get then ALL eventually, and that this is just an exercise in which-comes-first.

 

[key_wiz]

No. Just another hint.

I think ForagingRhino enjoys torturing us all with his teases.

 

[edisonbaggins]

I predict I'll get all four. Would be fun to do a comprehensive review, after a year or so. Maybe have @ForagingRhino on Life in Surround to talk about the logistics of producing the series.

Ooohhhh. You might get nominated for a QQ Emmy if you get that to happen!

He can only divulge so much in advance of the official launch. And we're on our way soon enough to knowing what the real deal is.

Copy #1222 for Spectrum, and I absolutely prefer Rhino to release quads that have not yet been available in the digital domain before moving on to albums that have already received that treatment, such as Spectrum. It would seem that they have a long list to go through to meet the demand for quadio on Blu-ray. I know I would love to have the Joni Mitchel and Paul Simon albums as an example.

Paul Simon albums as an example

Paul Simon isn’t going to happen, at least with Rhino. His quad catalog is with Sony. We might see a Sony Japan SACD release but unless something’s changed Paul doesn’t want his quads to be released

Is Carry on a hint?

Crosby, Stills, Nash

"Carry On / Questions"

Carry on, love is coming, love is coming to us all.

I'm sure I'm not alone among UK readers in hearing Sid James' laugh in my head at that statement. "Ooh eer Matron!" etc.

They is why the otherwise wonderful Sony 7” SACD series pisses me off bigtime, nearly every other release is a previously available 5.1 or 4.0 master. And they want $50 a pop plus shipping. I would say every 3rd release is a title we’ve already had the opportunity to purchase.

Others state they are fine with the repeats because they are just glad that the series continues.

 

[quicksrt]

Ah, cool. What are the hottest possibilities?

We all think Seals and Crofts, and Gordon Lightfoot are two expected. The jazz and R&B are likely Spinners, and Mingus or Ellington.

But your guess is as good as anyone’s here.

Not to be contrary Mr. T, but I for one am glad that Sony Japan gives us both previously unreleased Quad albums on SACD and picks a few previously released gems for their 7" SACD series. I was really happy to buy the 2 Billy Joel 5.1 albums and Toto IV, all with the lavish packaging their other releases had been treated to. I'm hoping they give us the 3 Billy Joel Quad albums in this series as well.

Sure of course you liked them, then add in a Jeff Beck Group title, and a Mahavishnu Orch, and you’ve got even more repeats. Bet my top and bottom dollar you didn’t buy those two.

Yes to Beck, no to Vishnu. That's a half dollar then...
