mgraham333 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) I followed a trail of links from the Simple RVG Question, SACD Mastering thread and ended up here. Supreme Jazz SACD Jazzcatalogue in SACD format - Hybrid Mulitichannel - plays in normal CD player und SACD player Does anyone know anything about these? What's the source of the music? Is it really multi-channel? How's the sound? I found a handfull of them at Amazon, but there are no reviews...

mikeweil Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I've seen but not heard them, but wouldn't buy any of them - partly mono and from the shellac era - they must have chased these tracks through some weird sound processing software to get multichannel.

jazzbo Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 But Labelcopy is my favorite Lee Konitz album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 How many channels do you need for a 2 track recording. Everything beyond that is an illusion - like phony stereo of 30+ years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjobbe Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 have written this "review" on SA-CD.net for the Terry Clark As of curiosity, I bought two of those JPC SACD offers being released by Membran, one being the Clark Terry disc that seemed to be a copy of the November 1960 Sessions with Knepper, Watkins, S.Powell, Lateef, Flanagan, Benjamin and Ed Shaughnessy. This session is being released with Candid 1987 on CD as Color Changes according to Allmusic. The Booklet has notes written in French, German and English This recording is in Stereo, the sound itself is quite open, better that I expected it, but I do not have the original CD to compare. It seems to me having a slight hiss in upper octaves, but nothing that would worry me, all in all I’m not disappointed. The SA-CD shows a RedBook layer, a 2CH and a 5.1CH selection, which I found not worth buying it as it seems to be ambient rather. The 2Ch Layers are ok but I would not judge from that one disc on the rest of the series. Because of the recording date being 1960 and knowing Membran, I would not want to speculate about the legal aspect here….. Cheers, Tjobbe The other one I own is that Chet Baker recording which I found worth buying. If you are in to SACD as superior sound... drop those, but they sound as slightly better than other of those "non-legal" EU releases If you are in to 4.0/5.1 .... run away, as beside very few exceptions, all are initial mono recordings even... Hope that helps, Oliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
