Sorry, I didn't see your post. Exciting release. Hope Intervention releases JJ's NIGHT AND DAY on hybrid SACD as well.Joe Jackson- Body and Soul SACD now up for pre-order at IR. These Kevin Gray mastered titles have been amazing thus far on vinyl.
Body and Soul CD/SACD (SHIPPING NOW!)

The album was recorded on a 32 track digital PCM digital multitrack and then mixed down to 16 bit/44.1 kHz PCM - it's this stereo mixdown that Kevin Gray remastered from. I'm sure this will sound good from a remastering standpoint, but unlike digitizing an analog master tape, there's nothing really to be gained from the SACD format on this one given that it's just a CD-quality digital master.
I don't think I have any SACDs from Intervention. How good are their titles? They're releasing Joe Jackson's Body and Soul soon, which is one of my favorites.
Shane cares a lot about the sound and the music so you're in good hands with him and his label. It's a labour of love to him.

Thanks! I will probably invest in the Joe Jackson title.Shane cares a lot about the sound and the music so you're in good hands with him and his label. It's a labour of love to him.
I like this one a lot and I used to own the first US album pressing years ago. Late Again sounds simply magical.

Me too. There was some discussion about this title recently on another thread. (I don't want to stir up the dust again, but the disagreement never really got resolved, as people seemed to be talking at cross-purposes.)
Sure is well done, but dreaming and wishful thinking IR would do some multichannel along the lines of what Dutton is doing.Shane cares a lot about the sound and the music so you're in good hands with him and his label. It's a labour of love to him.

I get what you're saying but Vocalion is a well established company whereas Intervention is still in its infancy and may not be yet able to take such risks.
I’m paraphrasing, but Intervention has stated it has no interest in multichannel because 1) the owner literally has no interest in multichannel 2) their vinyl sales far outpace SACD (they had dropped SACD altogether but circumstances appear to be resurrecting some titles) and 3) the multichannel market as a subset of the already small SACD market is really small.
2nd now. Long time lurker. Probably will stay that way for the most part.
They are as good as it gets. Buy with confidence!
