According the quarter page ad in the latest Goldmine (Alan Parsons cover), the Bill Withers - Just As I Am DualDisc will have a Dolby Digital surround track. The label falls under the Columbia Legacy umbrella.....
Bob Romano said:I don't think it was actually released. It is not listed at DualDiscs page and I couldn't find it in three different stores. I really wanted this one too.
Bob Romano said:So... how is the mix???
Got around to playing this one last night, and what a mixed bag!
The videos 8
The CD side 7.5
The DVD side 2 ch PCM 8
The 5.1 DD 4
The 5.1 DD is such a dissapointment! NOTHING in the rears but ambiance from the fronts. Very little in the center too. On the first song "Harlem", I kept hearing something like sandblocks. Upon check the PCM version, they turned out to be CYMBOLS. Damn compressed formats!!
I played the PCM through DDPL 2...MUCH BETTER!!
dualdiscs can be cheaply had these days, for some reason.
