Assuming it's the right disc - it looks like it in the pic on Discogs - it's on its way to me, very cheaply indeed at less than 2 Euros, from Finland.I'd give anything to hear Nathan Jones in surround!
fwiw they're not the original Motown versions but "all new" re-recordings (by mostly the original artists) that to me sound like they were done on the cheap with few if any real instruments.. but they're good fun with some decent vocals and most tracks give a great surround effect in PLII Music. i imagine they'd be alright through a Surround Master in Involve mode as well but tbh i never checked.Assuming it's the right disc - it looks like it in the pic on Discogs - it's on its way to me, very cheaply indeed at less than 2 Euros, from Finland.
When It arrives I'll have to figure out a way of playing it.
Is there a way of translating Dolby Surround into 5.1 flac on the computer?

Thanks to all for the heads up on the Macini Dolby Surround discs! I love Mancini's style, and have bought all of the Dutton-Vocalion releases. Now I've two more discs to look for.It's a good one with the Surround Master. The Pink Panther album by Henry Mancini in Dolby Surround is even better with the Surround Master.
So if I were to manage somehow to get a Surround Master to England I would be feeding 2 channel analogue sound into it from the Oppo 2 channel output as it plays the RCA Dolby Surround CD, having passed through the Oppo DAC; it would be converted to digital for surround sound synthesis and then through another DAC and the resultant 5.1 analogue output fed into one of the sets of 5.1 inputs to my Parasound P7. The intended Dolby Prologic won't have been used.It's a good one with the Surround Master. The Pink Panther album by Henry Mancini in Dolby Surround is even better with the Surround Master.
You imply you think it might be difficult for some reason - it isn't, several of us UK based QQers are very happy owners!So if I were to manage somehow to get a Surround Master to England ...
Maybe this should be the start of a new thread, but does anyone have an answer for @watsontr 's question? Are there in fact any (freely available, consumer-grade) software decode scripts for the "old" Dolby Surround? All I'm finding is SurCode, which is standalone commercial software that looks to have a $600 price tag.Is there an AA3 script for Dolby? Actually, could someone please let me know just what AA3 decoding scripts are available in the wild for surround decoding? I'm out of work so may have some time for fooling with such things, Once I've flogged Abbey Road to bits that is
Looks very promising, Pupster as long as her wonderful gravelly voice isn't grating to your sensitive puppy ears!Maria Muldaur - (it's her gravelly voice!) We'll see how this sounds through the SMv2

The Mancini Dolby Surround CDs aren't ambient for the most part. And they really shine with the Involve Audio Surround Master decoder.At the end of November, prompted by the prior posts about Mancini in Dolby Surround, I picked up this whole swathe of Dolby Surround discs. Many were discovered through the liner notes of "Also Available", and the two non-Mancini's must have been sitting on the Bullmoose shelves just waiting for me, because it was by shear chance that I happened to take them off the shelves in the first place:

A lot of these may be ambient surround, but they'll be worth finding out when I'm able to.
Oh, fantastic! Because some liner notes say: "...assembled from three concert albums...recorded for RCA Victor in 1964, 1967, and 1971." and "Newly remixed from two-, three- and four-track tapes for Dolby Surround." I assumed ambient.The Mancini Dolby Surround CDs aren't ambient for the most part.
And they really shine with the Involve Audio Surround Master decoder. Since it takes the standard Dolby Surround encoded mono surround track and splits it into separate Right and Left Surround channels!
Pro Logic II, as developed by Jim Fosgate, was also designed to split the Dolby Surround encoded Mono Surround Channel.Oh, fantastic! Because some liner notes say: "...assembled from three concert albums...recorded for RCA Victor in 1964, 1967, and 1971." and "Newly remixed from two-, three- and four-track tapes for Dolby Surround." I assumed ambient.
I look forward to playing these more now. I wondered how monaural rear channel Dolby Surround would sound through Pro Logic II, or as you mention, the Surround Master.
