2013 MFSL Listings (2013 MusicDirect Catalog)*

Finally - The Doobie Brothers Stampede is on tap.

Also:
Billy Joel - Greatest Hits I & II
Hall & Oates - H2O, Private Eyes, Voices

Chicago - CTA, II and VI are still listed.

The catalog does not state LP, CD or SACD but I would assume the Doobies and Billy Joel are SACD's, since the other titles from the artists are SACD's.

 

Just got my 2013 Music Direct catalogue and here are some of the MFSL scheduled releases:

Allman Bros. - Eat A Peach, Brothers & Sisters
Elvis Costello - King of America, Punch the Clock
Frank Sinatra - In The Wee Small Hours, Songs For Swingin' Lovers, Come Fly With Me, Point of no Return, A Swingin' Affair
Dean Martin - This Time I'm Swingin'
Bob Dylan - Greatest Hits, Desire, Before the Flood, Nashville Skyline, Highway 61, John Wesley Harding, Bob Dylan,
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Pronounced...
Alan Parsons - I Robot
Barry Manilow - Greatest Hits
Hall & Oates - H20, Private Eyes, Voices
Chicago - 17, VI

Silver Series:
Ryan Adams - Love is Hell
Judas Priest - Killing Machine, Screaming for Vengeance, Stained Class
Santana III
Duke Ellington - At Newport
INXS - Listen Like Thieves, X
Tom Waits & Crystal Gayle - One From the Heart
Raspberries - Best

It's not clear which will be LP, SACD or both.

 

Psyched about the JP troika, especially Hell Bent and Vengeance. Being a huge fan of the original Columbia releases, I am curious as all hell what they are going to do.

 

I would think the silver series is all vinyl. Though I REALLY was hoping the Duke Ellington at Newport would be released in SACD format as well. Thanks for the heads up!

 

Can someone explain to me what's the difference between "Gold" and "Silver Series"? Also, wasn't Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits released already in 2012?

 

Dylan's Greatest Hits.... Again?

A few great titles and few boring titles, especially Dylan.

 

I'm still waiting for a few releases they announced in 2011.

 

More Bob Dylan! Might get the Priest titles if cd.

 

Elvis Costello's King Of America, maybe. Punch The Clock is one of my least favourite Costello albums, why on earth do they pick that one?

 

Sure gets confusing...Pronounced is being rereleased on Tuesday, on the Music On Vinyl label too.

 

Would love to have those Allmans titles on vinyl. Really looking forward to that, as well as the Dylan and Miles Davis titles that are already up on Amazon.

Not sure if you're asking about vinyl or SACD, but the Silver Series on vinyl is of titles where they were not working with the original analogue master tapes for whatever reason, and the releases are standard-weight pressings. They use the same mastering chain (equipment) though.

 

MOV has done some good stuff - but I can't imagine there would be a comparison b/t these two, wait for the MOFI.

 

May not do that either. Proud papa of a SOS I bought in 1973, and treated like a queen.

 

If Lyrnyrd Skynyrd, Hall & Oates and Chicago are on SACD, then I'll be getting those. Might get a couple of the Bob Dylan too!

Pretty sure the Silver series will all be on vinyl. Otherwise, I would jump at the chance to get the Judas Priest and INXS titles on SACD.

(My catalog came in the mail today too, but I haven't looked at it yet. I guess I will now.)

 

spaulding, the first bunch you list, were each of these vinyl and digital? Pronounced... is one I was hoping would get the audiophile treatment. Of course Hall & Oates Voices is coming, right after I won a Ultradisc on EBay.

Silver series vinyl only in the past

 

Will get all those if they are on CD or SACD as I already have all the ones already released of Billy Joel and The Doobie Brothers on SACD. Have a couple Chicago Gold CDs already too.

(My catalog came in the mail today too, but I haven't looked at it yet. I guess I will now.)

 

I am very excited about the ABB titles, but the one that has me is Pronounced...FINALLY!!

 

I'd love MFSL to re-print some of the greatest titles they've released in the past. And I agree, too much Dylan.
MFSL needs more ROCK

PS: May anyone post the full catalog?

Perhaps there're great titles that aren't mentioned yet

 

We have two threads going, this should be merged with evad's original thread.

Stampede is coming out on SACD (Doobies)

 

Chicago if they are on SACD, maybe Santana 3 and that's it. My wallet is relieved after the Billy Joel and Miles Davis albums!

 

I tried downloading the catalog until my laptop froze up, and I got the hell outta Dodge !

 

Glad to see the Hall & Oates catalog get some attention. Would like to see their 70s releases get some attention.

 

I'm guessing 17 will be an LP. It wouldn't make sense for 17 to be an SACD since the gold CD came out just a few months ago. Dylan Greatest Hits could be an SACD since MFSL and Audio Fidelity have released digital versions of the same stuff before.

Here's hoping those Hall & Oates albums will be released on SACD.

Of course, we may not see this stuff until 2015.

 

Geez how many of those titles have already been done by either Mofi or Audio Fidelity?
