This was posted next door. It said the release was on EMI, which I suppose means that it will only be available in U.S. as an import. My question is, since Warner does not have the UK rights to many of its biggest US sellers, are they going to see even more of their hi-res market share eroded by redundant releases like this?
Follow Ups:
But, I dont listen to jazz either (and a lot of SACD is jazz). So I cant care less.On the other hand, hi-rez is supposed to get you closer to the master tapes (whatever their quality). That is what Hi rez is supposed to be.
I encourage all albums to be dumped onto SACD with careful transfers so you are as close to what was recorded.
Talking about old recrdings: SRV and Albert King on redbook sound great to my ears. You can hear tape hiss in the background. I have a cleaned out track from that album on one of SRV compilation cds and is sounds worse. The original redbook is more pleasing to me than some SACDs I own.
The encouragement should be to get "all" (or most) music transferred including the inferior "pop" stuff that (dummies) like me appreciate. I tried for the life of me to get into jazz. Even bought some (for the SACD sound................but I realize I am too uncultured for its sophistication). I used to listen to classical. But havent for years. And dang, a lot of SACD is classical.
Police is something I havent listened to much since my days in college, but now I ahave it on all the time. I liked and bought the Rolling Stones, but they too are gathering dust. Pink Floyd DSOTM was one of their weak points for me. I prefer their flop (The Final Cut) and would like to see that transferred. On the other hand Roger Waters live album doesnt get much airplay at my home but I would love to see Amused to Death on SACD.
Artists like Richard Thompson would be fun on SACD.
So would more SRV.
Even more David Bowie.Anyone wants to buy the Coryells?
i agree that Bowie would be a natural for mch hi-rez.Diamond Dogs, Ziggy, or THe Man Who Sold The World would be some that i'd like to see.
enjoy,

every bit as bad on SACD! This is a low rez recording, should be released on 8 Track Cartridge instead!
what the sound quality. It is a classic rock album of the kind we don't see from bands nowadays. Incredible musicianship, songs that are incredibly arranged, the whole package. I see it sort of as the Stones re-issues, not great sound quality but their is a capturing of a vibe that is sorely lacking in most recorded material nowadays.
while i have to agree it's not at the top of the heap , it still sounds better on DVD-A than on CD.much othe rock and pop music released in the 70'sand 80's was highly compressed and seem like they were rushed out.but there was some that sounded good. mabey we'll see some of these some day.
enjoy,
mark
