Good news, I can't believe it's taken this long for some Hendrix to hit SACD. Are the other guitar gods from the Sixties far behind?
That is killer news. Hendrix on SACD. Too bad it's not one of the original four albums, but I'll take it. No detail specific to SACD/high-res on Acoustic Sounds site other than it's coming in those formats. Anyone know anything?
Hendrix -new 2 lp Release Machine Gun 9-30-16 » has some discussion on this ...........................
Well correct me if I'm wrong but weren't the recent Cry Of Love and Rainbow Bridge re releases EH? Because the mastering was not compressed at all.
So this is the same as the Legacy CD; or I should say Legacy is doing a CD and AP is doing SACD and Vinyl? Jimi Hendrix Machine Gun: The Fillmore East First Show 12/31/69 Out September 30 On CD, 2 LP 180 Gram Vinyl, High Resolution SACD And Digital » Edit, if this is right that looks like what is happening Hendrix 'Machine Gun' loaded for SACD, high-res » I wonder who is mastering this Legacy or AP, probably a good sign either way especially if Vic A. steps in for any Legacy involvement?
Never heard either, I am going by the EH remasters of the original three albums. Non RE-1 disc for ABAL sounds much better. AYE is better with some EQ.
Bernie Grundman did the 2014 Cry Of Love and Rainbow Bridge under the EH/Legacy banner and they are pretty nice. I guess EH still collects the cash but Legacy seems to be driving the bus picking up the fares. Maybe they are trying a new model of having AP do all the mastering for SACD, Vinyl and download, then Legacy puts together a CD from that for the bricks and mortar bins.
Kevin Gray. Please let it be Kevin Gray. Anyway if any Hendrix people look at this thread, I have hundreds of Jimi CDs and LPs of legit releases, in other words many different versions of many different releases from all over the world. Not bootlegs, real releases of the Jimi Hendrix catalog. I will buy every SACD release on AP without hesitation if they are properly mastered for hi res release, and AP has a history of doing a brilliant job. Make it happen. Take my money. And did I mention... Kevin Gray. Thank you.
It looks like there will be two Jimi Hendrix SACDs coming on 9/30/16 ! This is pretty exciting news for Jimi Hendrix and SACD fans ! Machine Gun - The Fillmore East First Show 12/31/1969 People, Hell and Angels. Bill
I see these are hybrid SACD/CD releases! About time for the whole catalogue to be remastered by Bernie and released this way.
