Jäppz, nu är det bekräftat. Man var ju lite orolig hur dom skulle göra med denna klassiska skiva när dom nu återsläpper den på vinyl och SACD p g a den fyller 30år. Skulle dom använda en digital master? Skulle dom använda någon jöns bakom graveringen? Skulle det pressas på flexi vinyl? 
Nej, vi kan alla vara lugna! Detta kom ut nu:
Chad Kassem likes the test pressing:
EMI and Doug Sax Choose AcousTech for Dark Side LP
One of the largest labels could have gone anywhere to remaster one of the world's most important records…They went to AcousTech Mastering.
EMI hired Doug Sax to handle perhaps the most historic master tapes in pop music. Sax, long-renowned as a mastering guru, set out to produce his masterpiece on LP. And so he brought his MCI JH-110 transport with custom heads and tube electronics to Camarillo, California, where Kevin Gray had assembled the best-sounding mastering and cutting lab that Sax knew of — AcousTech. His decision paid off.
Here at Acoustic Sounds, we spent Monday morning critiquing the resulting test pressing. When we first learned of EMI's decision to reissue Dark Side on vinyl, we along with many of you worried that they would go the usual route of major labels, and we'd all have yet another mediocre-sounding reissue. We're thrilled to be to the first to announce that this time the majors got it right. This is it! All of the dynamics, clarity, warmth and air…This surpassed our highest expectations, which believe us, were quite high.
We've already sold more than 300 preorder copies of the Dark Side LP. Now that the mystery is over and this is a bona fide audiophile record, we're likely to sell thousands. We've been told that the LP will be pressed on 180-gram vinyl in Holland. Hopefully, EMI will keep this in print for a long while, but knowing the majors' track record with vinyl, don't bet on it. Now's the time to act.

Jäppz, rörmastrad av en av dom stor, Doug Sax. Graverad av en av dom bästa i branschen, Kevin Gray. Från ORIGINAL analoga masterbanden!
Så det blir att beställa 2 st ex direkt!!
Konstigt att dom inte fattar att vinylen är död och bara knastrar

| Nej, den släpps 8/4. Den kommer till motsatts av SACD ha original omslaget också. |

Nu när den släpps i flerkanals SACD kunde man önska att den släpptes i flerkanals vinyl oxo, i nåt av de där sjuttiotalsformaten som aldrig slog..det hade vart fräckt..
Nån som fortfarande har fungerande utrustning för detta..?
Vad hette formaten nu igen..Quadraphoniq..? QS4..?!?
Minns inte.. |

Ja, jag fick detta av Richard S. Foster som en mycket välkänt "guldöra" på phonogram board.
Han har hört dom flesta DSOTM vinyler och jämför den nya mot dessa. Detta är vad han sa.
"As I mentioned earlier, Chad Kassem was kind enough to loan me his RTI
test pressing of DSOTM. After being 'lost' by FEDEX for a week and a
half...it turned up today..thank goodness.
I'm lucky enough to have a very early UK EMI Harvest Solid Blue
Triangle Label with A2/B2 matrices. I forgot the exact stamper numbers
but they're pretty low for this lp. Also keep in mind the story goes
that they changed the solid blue triangle to the outline of a triangle
after less than 6 months. My copy has the original sticker on the
jacket which tells you the lp inside is Dark Side of the Moon.
Anyway...I'm gonna keep this short and sweet.
I've compared this copy to just about every other copy I could get my
hands on including the UHQR (or compact disk sounding drek), the
regular MOFI, BOTH Toshiba issue (the regular and the Pro-Use)
It has ALWAYS come out on top.
until now.
In my opinion, in every way this new release is superior. Period. The
biggest thing I immediately noticed was the CLARITY. Openness,
clarity, transients, clarity, punch, clarity, bass (not
overwhelming..it just sounds right)oh...and did I mention clarity?
Bells, breathing, cash register, it's just terrific.
This copy was dead quiet as has already been pointed out by Steve
Hoffman on his great website:
http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12999
I do hope whoever presses this can do a job that AT LEAST matches the
great job RTI did on this test pressing.
Based upon what I am hearing (this is the 3rd time I've played it)
it's definitely now my preferred pressing....and there is no doubt
anyone who likes this classic album, will want a copy.
A tip of the hat to Doug Sax, Kevin Gray at Acoustech, and Don McInnis
at RTI for a GREAT JOB on a (for me) classic album. I've NEVER heard
it sound so good.
God, the clarity is just insane!
(Hey Chad....I just moved and changed my phone number so you won't get
this copy back)
By the way....pholks here should go and visit RTI and see what they
do. What they do, in my opinion, is great work. Thanks guys.

Thanks to Richard S. Foster for allowing me to copy this
Så nu vattnas det ÄNNU mer i munnen!!
Audiophiles already have hi-rez: the LP (John Atkinson, Stereophile) |
