Paco de Lucía Castro Marin (Philips, 832 023-2)

Paco de Lucía Fuente Y Caudal (PHCA-4005)

Again, on repeat this time: Anthony Braxton Dortmund (Quartet) 1976

Freddie Hubbard Straight Life (KICJ 2595)

What are you more excited about: Life on Mars or the no longer lost John Coltrane studio album? 1: Nasa Mars rover finds organic matter in ancient lake bed 2: Lost John Coltrane Recording From 1963 Will Be Released at Last

There seems to be a single CD and a 2 CD deluxe edition. Be careful what you pre-order.

Henry Threadgill Too Much Sugar for a Dime

Henry Threadgill Mosaic, disc 3: X-75.

I bought the Threadgill box last summer, but so far have focussed mostly on the later sessions. I think I'll put X-75 Vol. 1 on now!

Eric Dolphy Out to Lunch (SHM-SACD)

Roscoe Mitchell Sextet Sound

Miles Davis Milestones (MFSL, Hybrid SACD)

Yes, and Teo Macero's stereo mix is quite different from the Mark Wilder remix.

Miles Davis Someday My Prince Will Come (MFCD 828)

Andrew Hill Trio Invitation

Ike Quebec Easy Living (BN 75th Anniversary SHM-CD)

So according to CD Japan's description this Multi Hybrid SACD will also feature the latest stereo mastering in both SACD and CD layers. Still, I am willing to bet this won't sound as good as the recent stellar MFSL Hybrid SACD mastering of the original stereo mix. At ¥5500 you would be better of buying the MFSL, unless you have deep pockets, a surround system, and are getting this primarily for the Quadraphonic mix.

How does this compare to the Teo Macero stereo mix? Must be a lot alike.
