Do you mean "Night Passage?" That's stereo only.
Abraxas is a great album but there's no quad or 5.1 SACD that I'm aware of.

It's still not multichannel, though. Doesn't belong in this thread.

Tale Spininn' by Weather Report is indeed a quad release on the Vocalion label.

Since its initial stereo release on vinyl, Abraxas has been one of my all-time favourites. The DTS CD I bought was immediately disappointing. The 5.1 mix didn't seem at all intent on recreating the original character, especially with regard to matching reverb and presence. David Frangioni missed an opportunity.
I have been listening to multi-channel less than a year, although collecting since the 40th Anniversary Anniversary King Crimson releases started.
Everything is a revelation to me so my top 10 changes with every purchase.

- The Dukes Of Stratosphear Psurroundabout Ride. (Not even a genre I enjoy but the mix is so infectious that I find I listen to it frequently)
- Queen Greatest Video Hits (yes I wish I had actual albums, but as mentioned all over the site, this is a great audio)
- Opeth Deliverance & Damnation
- Ayreon The Source
- Chicago Quadio, Chicago if I need to pick a single album.
- King Crimson Red
- Jethro Tull Aqualung
- Marillion Brave
- Tears For Fears Songs From The Big Chair
- Yes Close To The Edge

You do realize that you have 2 kidneys...I mean you could live with just one....just saying
Kidney prices are a relative item, just depends, here’s some
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers* - The Live Anthology, I believe I got one used in excellent cond. several years ago off eBay (pictures help) for around $70, couldn’t order it fast enough
Looks like low $200’s is about the cheapest now & make sure it’s got the Blu-ray in it with surround. A beautiful box set (and I typically loathe box sets!)
* Edit, of course if you only want the BD out of it, you might get lucky and find one

I am far from my collection right now, and the list changes with my mood in any case, but here are some of my favorites that I can recall. These are in no particular order and are either blu ray, SACD or DVD-Audio. And yes I am going to slaughter the titles but hopefully not beyond recognition!
1. Depeche Mode. ”Violator” and “Music for the Masses.” But in reality most of the DM releases are very well done.
2. Elton John: “Honky Chateau” and “Goodbye YBR” are great to me.
3. Jazz titles I like: Chesky released a “Best of NY Jazz” several years ago, a live setup with a simple but high quality recording chain. Gene Harris Quartet: ”Listen Here!” Or something like that. Brubeck’s “Time Out” and the live one he did somehwhere in New England - the recording actually picked up the sound of crickets chirping at the venue. They are very subtle but I can occasionally pick them out.
4. Classical titles - there are a lot of them, and many are well done. There is an RCA Living Stereo recording of Billy the Kid which I recommend. Even though I like a lot of Copeland, I think the performance on this one is outstanding and the fact that it was recorded 60 years ago just blows me away. Another I like which was recently recorded is ”Lost Voices of the Hagia Sophia“ by Capella Romana (or maybe Romano?) which is an Atmos/Surround recording of Byzantine Chants in a digital acoustical replication of the famous Hagia Sophia church in Istanbul, which was the seat or religion in the Byzantine Empire.
5. More popular: anything Talking Heads, Dutton Vocalion has released some I think are great, e.g. All the ones by Garfunkel, BW Stevens, Earth Wind and Fire. More that I can’t remember. Mark Knopfler “Sailing to PHiladelphia” is also very good.
There are just so many, and it is very hard to keep it to a “top 10.”
Have to stop now and eat breakfast.
