New Audio Fidelity Gold CDs:Doors, Beach Boys, The Band, Alice Cooper, Cars, Ronstadt

Looking at the other thread, I see the $19.98 refers to the AF discs that are still in print. I hope the new ones will be the same price, but I understand if they won't be. Doesn't matter, I will still get them!!

It will be interesting to hear the story behind the Band disc, if Steve ever tells it here ... I was under the impression the masters were lost (?). Anyone have further info? I heard this album in it's entirety for the first time recently and loved it. I had not picked it up yet, and I am glad!

 

Thank thee kindly sir

To much to wish for some Tull.

 

I feel another visit to my Bank Manager coming on.

 

I think story was there was a certain member of the Band that had the 2 track mixdown and due to disagreements with other band members he held on to it. Steve did remixed it back in the DCC days but didn't think he was able to replicate the original mix.

 

The Band!!!!!!!! Excellent!

 

Yes! This is awesome!

I've been wanting Pet Sounds for a while! ... and Alice Cooper! Can't wait to hear what else is coming in the future!

 

Will the Pet Sounds be a new remaster or using the DCC version?

 

I'm in for The Band, Beach Boys, and Alice Cooper!!! Great news!

 

That's what we've wanted to hear. Having missed on DCC's glory years, I'd given up hope that we'd ever see the likes of it again. This is a dream come true.

 

That's my hope as well! No matter what format, I'll be all over The Band reissue.

Can I put the titles on my Christmas Wish List?

 

I really hope that a certain Fleetwood Mac album will see release on vinyl and cd....currently still just a Rumour......

 

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

 

I'm going to guess no.

With all due respect, we've been led down this path before. I'll get excited when these are actually released. Until then, I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

 

ALL great!!
ESPECIALLY SCHOOL'S OUT!
I only have my green WB pressing I got for Xmas '72!! Time for a new copy!!

 

Great news indeed. I've been waiting for the day Steve got the chance to tackle these recordings including Schools Out.

 

So that's the first time the actual master tape will be heard on CD, yes? That is fantastic news!
AND "Pet Sounds"!

 

That's my question too. That new A/D converter Steve mentioned in the other thread will have a lot to do with the sound but I'm wondering if anything else will change.

Glad I didn't pay out the nose for my DCC disc. Those prices are sure to fall.

BTW, since Steve is mentioning these titles does that mean they're already finished? He usually waits until things are pretty much ready to go to give us the good words.

 

Wonderful news, here's hoping vinyl versions follow.

I think we're in sync today Jamie, that was my other thought...

There's no way Steve would mention getting the master of the brown Band album unless it was a sure thing.

 

WOW!!!

All great titles, but I can't believe Marshall ok'd Alice Cooper, I was under the impression he didn't really like the band too much ... that is SUPER news for me, was a big fan back in the day and can't wait for School's Out to get the 24K treatment with those new A/D convertors. Hopefully it'll sell well so Marshall might try for Killer and/or Love It To Death also.

Out of the first four mentioned I'm getting 'em all!

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

My gosh, what great news! Congratulations!
