SPECTACULAR SACD QUADRAPHONIC MIX
December 10, 2017

I listened to this SACD using an OPPO 103 player. The disc is encoded in Quadraphonic sound. It is spectacular when cranked up. A quantum jump over previous releases I own (LP and Dolby Surround CD). The lost Horizon Suite is very detailed and the voices, bells and organ really shine. The subwoofer chimed in as well. But the real gem on this album is THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD. It alone is worth the price of this disc. I did not check out the stereo layer. I hope Vocalion will release the other recordings in this Gerhardt RCA series.

Paul Simon - "The Rhythm of the Saints"


KCRW brought this back to me - they recently played "Can´t run, but"
and when checking the playlist I was surprised I got the CD somewhere and wondered that the song somehow slipped my mind.
Then I found out I did not have the CD anymore, must have sold it some day.
Got a used one and well, - there is reason not having it any more.
I have the habit to listen to CDs entirely, sometimes for days.
So after two days a CD is nomally more or less
memorized - talking of Jazz, not of Pop.

Not here.

Besides "The Obvious Child" and "Can´t run, but" the rest of "The Rhythm of the Saints" sounds more or less the same and even after some days I am still not much able to tell one song from another...

BUT: The album has a hypnotic draw, so I keep listening to it...

I have heard details that I had not heard before in my four vinyl editions/pressings.

For now, the 1971 Motown German pressing was the better.
