I've had the DVD-A of American Beauty for quite awhile, Lee. I think Mickey Hart did some pretty aggressive re-mixing of that album. Personally, I like it a lot. But his tact is to immerse the listener like they are actually in the band, IIRC. Hart does a video interview, available on the DVD-A, in which he discusses his mixing of Sugar Magnolia.

DVD-A: Running on Empty - Jackson Browne.

(Thanks again, Lee!)

For anyone interested, this disc is currently being found in the bargain CD section of Wal-Marts nationwide for just $5. For more information check out the recently-bumped "Running on Empty" thread in this forum.

Re: What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

My local mom & pop shop was having their annual "Dads & Grads" sale and I picked up two MoFi SACDs (Foghat - Fool for the City, Marshall Crenshaw -S/T), one import SACD (Moody Blues - On the Threshold of a Dream), and the double 10" vinyl set of Radiohead's "Kid A". I plan on celebrating Father's Day in high resolution.

Does a Diana Krall Blu-ray in lossless DTS MCH count? If so, this is my latest acquisition (a Father's Day gift).

Oh, Paul. It counts very highly in fact. This could be the music release of the year.

Someone must like you very much to get you that gift for Father's Day.

It looks and sounds great. I wouldn't risk my life to go out in a thunderstorm to buy it, but I might think about it for a minute or two.

Re: What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

As of this post, it's indicated at Concord Music's website that my order is still "In Process". However, I just received my entire order.....except for the 2 SACD set to the soundtrack of "Amadeus" ($5.98 for the 2 SACD). I wasn't charged for it but since I placed the order for it, I should get it.

Called Concord Music's customer service # 800-551-5299 and spoke with Vicky. She told me that missing titles meant that they're backordered....and they don't ship out backordered items even when they become available again. Therefore, I shouldn't expect my soundtrack to "Amadeus" SACDs to be in the mail. However, Vicky told me to call back in about a month and talk to her; she said will honor my order and ship send me that particular title at $5.98, if available.

Re: What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

$5.98 is of course a tasty price but "call back in a month"? Ouch.

I'm torn between getting that SACD and being content with my Bicentennial box--the 3 CD set of The Complete Original Soundtrack Recording. In the years since I fell for the film and before the SACD was available, I focused on getting the entire work of those pieces excerpted on the soundtrack that appealed to me the most. That tempers my ardor for the SACDs compared to "just" enjoying the BD, the iso score on the original DVD (which I held onto for that track and the ability to watch it in sync with the pic) and the 3 CD set . . . somewhat.

It's finally quit raining, well for 2 whole days. I was just about to the point of obtaining an amphibious car. Little Stevie will have to wait. I spent the money on a pair of used LP's monday, Humble Pie's Thunderbox and Steve Marriott's S/T'ed. A Cherokee friend has warned me not to play Thunderbox lest the infernal storms will return resulting in Lake Tennessee. I played it anyhow in hopes that the hill I live on would become beachfront property. So far, it hasn't worked.

I just picked up George Harrison "Live in Japan" SACD. It isn't very good, I wish I had spent the money on a concert on Blu-ray instead.

Big Star "1 Record/Radio City" SACD.  Although there is a multichannel sticker on the case, it is stereo only.

If there was a DVD-A, I'd love to have one.  But I don't think there is. 

I was among those who rushed out upon the news to secure a copy of the 25th anniversary CD/DVD edition of Thriller.  I had held it in my hands a number of times--but for whatever reason hadn't pulled the trigger.  I also still have my vinyl copy.  An amazing piece of work, Thriller.

I have it quite a while.  Have not listened to it in a bit.  Have a pile of SACDs, CDs a hi-rez DVD and a DVD-A I have not listened to.  I have not listened to "Thriller" in a long time and I've changed equipment many times since I got it.  I remember it sounding pretty good but not something that is SACD great demo quality.  I'm glad I have it though.  Perhaps we'll see some hi-rez stuff on Blu-Ray.  He supposedly has 100 or so unreleased songs recorded.

I just ordered Richard Thompson "The Old Kit Bag" DualDisc DVD-A.  I had passed on it for a long time but I expect it will disappear soon so I grabbed it now.

I just picked up Barenaked Ladies "Everything to Everyone" CD/DVD-A set.  Warner has dumped this one to liquidators, it is really inexpensive.  I think it is a very good pop album, nice mix, typical all-around nice effort by Barenaked Ladies and Warner.

Placed my Concord order June 10.

Only got 4 out of 11: Albert King, Nneena Freelon, Anne Hampton Callaway and Michael Brecker

Must have picked the most popular titles.

Concord suggested calling back 4 in 6 weeks. They will honor the sale price on any missing titles that have been replenished.
