AL Green-Greatist Hits (DVD-A)Any Good?

I am trying to find a new or mint used copy of Al Greens-Greatist Hits DCC Gold Version and not having much luck.Was wondering if anybody has the Capital DVD-A version(it's only 24/48 isn't it?) and is it a big improvement over the 95' standard remaster?

 

It's wonderful.

 

The DVD-A doesn't isolate the instruments quite the same as the old Quad-8 did; otherwise, it's a good alternative. However, it doesn't have the long version of "Let's Stay Together" that's found on the original GREATEST HITS. "Belle" is an added bonus but, ironically, the multi-channel for the most recent song included couldn't be found, so it's only on the stereo hi-rez and DD tracks.

Note also the domestic(Right Stuff) and DVD-A use the original stereo mixes for the songs; the original Lp(and the UK Hi import) was all remixes.

I love the DCC Al Green...Nothing comes close. "Call Me (Come Back Home)" sounds incredible! As does the rest!

 

the DVD-A also doesn"t have Al's wonderful cover of the Bee Gees' How Can You Mend A Broken Heart....one of the best Gibb covers ever. Otherwise, tho, it's a nice disc.

 

Well, IMHO, the best Gibb cover ever, followed by Nina Simone's "To Love Somebody"...

Yeah, they substituted "Love And Happiness" instead...but "How Can You Mend" does turn up on the MORE GREATEST HITS sequel on The Right Stuff...but no DVD-A on that one, yet.....if ever.

In a perfect world we could walk into our favorate B&M and choose between the DCC & the DVD-A. Heck, even grab both .

But hey... We can put the Redbook next to DVD-A and select the better one.

The DVD-A is a great stuff. I would grab it while you can.

 

Eric Burdon did a wild and great version as well!
