Wow!! I wonder if their source for the unreleased Hard 'n' Heavy quad mix is a Robin Reel?
 
Those two Guess Who titles might be the highest profile albums they’ve done thus far

It'll definitely be interesting comparing the tracks that overlap with AF's Greatest Hits Vol. I disc from a few years ago. The quad mixes are all the same.

Indian Reservation is the one I'm really excited over - it's a demo-worthy quad mix, especially the title track.
 
Mine shipped already as well. What a deal!

We have companies like MFSL that announce years in advance, keeping folks waiting and wondering, and then at the complete opposite end of the spectrum, we have D-V, who announces AND SHIPS the same freaking day!!

Cheers for Michael and Co.!!

Talk about a DEAL, Jon. Considering D~V has released 6 bona fide QUAD SACD titles my order came to $53 [incl s/h] which comes out to $8.91 per QUAD remaster!

Separate thread for classical? Three releases there also (although really one classical two soundtrack). It's on the edge, but enough to get me to put in a long-delayed order.

https://www.duttonvocalion.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=CDLX7364 - Finishes the set of Rubinstein playing the Beethoven piano concertos, accompanied by a much younger Daniel Barenboim conducting the London Philharmonic. The quad mix is almost surely standard concert hall sound, but the playing is the appeal - I'm guessing Michael Dutton is a fairly serious Rubinstein fan. This is bolstered by the fact that he made his own mix of Rubinstein's recording of "The Hunt" sonata for solo piano, made when Rubinstein was 91. Hank Drake's review of this album (as reissued as part of the complete Rubinstein edition: https://www.amazon.com/Rubinstein-Collection-Vol-79-Beethoven/dp/B00004TG7J):
The Beethoven Sonata Op, 31, No. 3 was always a great favorite of Rubinstein's. This recording, made about a year after the Concerto, turned out to be part of Rubinstein's final album. By this time, the pianist was almost totally blind due to macular degeneration. But I would defy anyone to guess that listening to the recorded evidence. The first movement is played with a charm usually ignored by more academic pianists. Rubinstein, is it worth noting, was a musician, not a musicologist. He was more interested in getting to the heart of the music than in the intricacies of "correct" ornamentation and other pedantic details. Rubinstein tears through the Scherzo with a vigor which would be the envy of pianists one-third his age. The slow movement was a favorite encore in Rubinstein's early years, and it is lovingly played here. The Finale is a boisterous, rollicking conclusion to a wonderous performance.

Caveat of course that for the piano sonata is only for one instrument - we'll see what Michael Dutton did with his mix. This was the original album issue: https://www.discogs.com/Artur-Rubin...-Op-31-No-3-Fantasiestuck-Op-12/master/620298

Two Gerhardt soundtrack albums as well; the Rosza album has a bonus track of the Julius Caesar Overture from a stereo release in a Michael Dutton mix.
