Hello all,
I have been a member but my email had changed and such so I ended up re-registering so I made it back.
So the other day I was going through a bunch of CD's and organizing them that I had in a box. Throwing out old stuff that I had replaced with either HiRes discs or BR. I came across several duplicate discs that I had DL years ago.
One such duplicate or two for that matter was Animals by PF. One was a surround version that I remembered sounded like crap that someone had done so I handed it to my wife and said toss it. About an hour later I came across another Animals disc that I must have DL in surround and was ready to toss it as well but one thing I noticed I had actually printed out the CD cover that was part of it as well as i put a label on the disc. I decided to check it out.
To my very delighted surprise this had two recording on it. One was from the Q8 and the other was from an SQ recording with all kinds of graphics that came up on the screen (DVD Audio). I was caught off guard because I can't remember if I had listen to this after I recorded it. I only had the SQ version back in the 70's and never could find the Q8. Whoever did the cleanup before uploading this did a remarkable job as it sounds so clean. The Q8 is absolutely beautiful and the surround is done so well. In fact the Q8 version when it came to Pigs on the Wing pt.1 and Pt. 2 was one complete track with a soaring DG guitar solo in between the two parts. I never heard it this way since the recordings I have had had Pt.1 at the opening and Pt.2 and the end after Sheep. I have been waiting for the surround release but it seems both DG and RW can't agree on anything. But after finding this in my stash of old recordings and how good it sounds I' won't have to wait until hell freezes over to hear Animals in surround.
And to think I almost chucked this into the trash.
