Thanks Stephen but this ain’t no freakin’ rumour!
(I’m gonna move the thread to the Esoteric section)
This release should be fabulous!

Excellent album,looks like a great set. I’m in!

Well, wow! I have all the BJH multi-channel titles, I have to have this. And, look.....Stephen did the mix! This will be epic....

I got the quad mix on dvd, but I cannot pass up Tayler's handiwork.

 

[DuncanS]

This was one of my first quad LPs bought back in 1977 (I think), so a new 5.1 mix by Stephen is definitely a must buy

 

[sjcorne]

Nice! I have the 2011 CD/DVD set with the quad mix and it's definitely...interesting. The lead vocals throughout the song "She Said" are completely isolated in the left rear speaker.

 

[Healthcare29]

Must admit was never impressed with the Quad of this, so a most welcome remix...

Excellent news, keep em comin Stephen! When I saw that the release date was January 2023 I thought that was ages away, then I realised that its November already, how did that happen!

Just logged onto QQ, after a lovely day with our grandson George.
And to top it off, I find this fantastic news.
This is a must buy!!

Just pre-ordered from Cherry Red.

I missed this last time so woo hoo.

You guys are killing me! First, BJH and then Caravanserai! As @Clement would say, “we have you surrounded comrades!”

My favorite BJH album is “Eyes Of The Universe;” KZAM in Seattle had it in heavy rotation when I lived in Tacoma in the late 70’s. Would love to see Stephen Tayler do a remix in 5.1.

Although I grew up with all the others, I think it's mine as well (it was released late 1979 just after I finished Uni), "Love On The Line" is a great track, really rocks. So if Stephen could do that album, it would be brilliant.

The new release date is today. I've got the box. Well done Stephen!

And Cherry Red did a nice package. Format is really nice. The booklet contains some nice pictures from the album launch event. The Barclay guys seem that they had a lot of fun.
Cherry included the old stereo and quad mix too. The BD offers enough space. And on CD3 the stereo SQ quad mix. Now we have a test-CD for SQ quad decoding!

Finally: The price is ok.

Record Companies: this is a good example how it should be! Content, quality, package, price.
Not like those giga mega deluxe edition from Rush, Kiss, Pink Floyd (DSOTM 50) and many more. Or lossy crippled surround (Atmos) streams instead of a physical release (Beatles - Revolver !!! Still very disappointing!) .

I had no expectation on this release and the only thing I was quite sure about: the 5.1 mix will be not disappointing.

I like it.

..even the Quad Mix sounds interesting. How the guys did it in the golden seventies!
A lot of tape saturation is audible. Quite common those days.

It was one of my first SQ LPs after I'd built my decoder, looking forward to this version

This new version blows the socks off the previous mix.

Mr Tayler, I take my hat off to you. Your expertise and attention to detail shines through on this fabulous release.
And you are credited with your work in the notes!!
