Michi says: Non~Sequitur: Philips DST compressors are heavy........perhaps the American SACD pressing plant is gearing up to start doing again what they initially started out to do: Press SACDs??????????? I can hear those little 5" golden hybrid discs crying out: "Rumors of Our Death are greatly exaggerated!"

And to make the pot sweeter, there will be other forthcoming QUAD titles from the Columbia catalogue as well!
Stay tuned........

Would that include Bach played by a Mr. Biggs? :-)

Fortune cookie say: your SACD collection increase in classic rock titles in 2010 and 2011.

I wonder if the new rock titles will be released on AP or Classic Records...

Hi .. I'm from Brazil

Please Columbia Records .. I Want the SACD Simon and Garfunkel

Must be very nice listen in Multichannel SACD Simon and Garfunkel

Especially the song Bridge Over Troubled Water in Multichannel 5.1 Surround

The Voice of Garfunkel alone in Center Channel must be very Special

And the sound of the piano of Larry Knechtel only in Left and Right Channel - Front Speaker


I WANT THIS SACD PLEASE


This Video have a Instrumental Original of Bridge Over Troubled Water

Agree - but hopefully in a better quality, than they made in the 'original'.
Garfunkels voice is so "distorted" especially in the last part - the "grande finale"
I have the original vinyl, an "Mobile Fidelity" vinyl-edition, and finaly an normal CD. All of them are distorted.

Short Story: Roy Hallee, S&G's original producer was a customer at the Audio store I used to frequent in Scarsdale, NY and he told the proprietor that the Simon and Garfunkel mastertapes were in dreadful shape (this around the early '80s) due to extensive splicing.

Hopefully, the Quad mastertape made in the early 70's (assuming it has not been tampered with) should be in excellent shape but that distortion at the end of BOTW might just be oversaturation ( perhaps Pro Tools can work their magic.....)or they can call upon Art Garfunkel to re~dub (not likely since he can't possibly hit those extremely high notes at his age)

IMO, I don't think AP will release a less than stellar product but of course, there will always be exceptions.
