    Something I've wanted to do for many years and I got to do it. The original stereo studio mix. No added compression, no boosting of the screech, no bloating of the boom, just a natural, analog sounding classic album. One that I can actually play and be happy. No other version I've ever heard can be cranked without my ears crimping but this one can, with careful mastering by Me & Marsh, a really neutral playback deck, and much help from Sony Music, this sounds fantastic.

    So, I'm happy.

    And for you Quadraphonic lovers, you aren't forgotten. Just wait until you hear the Quad version..

    Coming on Audio Fidelity SACD.

    Steve I am completely psyched about this and preordered as soon as the news was posted here. For whatever it's worth, I would immediately order anything from their catalog that you and AF had an opportunity to release.

    I am really looking forward to this.

    Had the pleasure to see Blue Oyster Cult two weeks ago at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Enjoyed the show beyond expectations- this will be an automatic purchase for me.

    Instant purchase. Hopefully, there will be more B.O.C. from Audio Fidelity in the future.

    So the bass is going to be fixed, and the upper end also adjusted and corrected. Great, as I always felt it was a little flat. Can't wait for this, but mainly interested in the quadraphonic mix as I have it on original LP and two different cd issues already.
