ELP Catalog Now Switches Over To Razor & Tie

The very person I hoped might chime in...

 

Well Greg Lake did say 5.1 surround was happening for the ELP catalogue so if once again Mr. Wilson is behind the mixing desk, I think we will all be very happy...especially if these remixes come out in April like it says on ELP's website.

Feel free to say anything else you know Mr. Wilson...

 

OK, now you've got my attention!

 

This might actually be good news! Let's hope.

 

.......and with luck a decent remix of Welcome Back in stereo! Go Steven, go!

 

I can also think of a certain other album that will be celebrating it's 40th
anniversary this year by another 70's prog rock band that we'd all hope
would land in your lap ie...one that you wrote about in an article not
long ago

 

If you're referring to one "Close to the Edge" I've heard that some of the multitracks for one or two of the songs are missing, making a full scale 5.1 remix impossible.

HOWEVER, there apparently was a Quad mix that was done in the 70s that has yet to see the light of day, so maybe that could be released...

But here's a very good question for Steven:
If you ARE remixing the ELP albums in 5.1 surround, does that include "Brain Salad Surgery", which has already been remixed in 5.1 surround?
Personally, I feel that even though that 5.1 mix is pretty good, I feel that SW could do an even better job.
And also, there's a bonus 5.1 mix of "Lucky Man" included on the DVD-A of BSS as well. Would that be the same mix or would SW do a new 5.1 mix of that song too?

Very cool...

What state are the original 1/2" masters in by now?

I feel pretty safe with my go to original vinyl core5 and subsequent 24/96 needle drops, they would take some beating I fear.

 

Holy cow, next they'll be on K-Tel.

 

Which ELP albums were mixed in quadraphonic at that time?

 

I hope Steve Wilson will do the ELP remixes..... and I hope it's not a dream!!!

 

I can only dream about this one. One of my all time favorites that needs a lot of help everywhere.

 

Thank you, you've made a lot of people happy and excited for these.

 

I wasn't going to subscribe to this thread (oh, more ELP remasters!!), but for some reason, this has become VERY interesting!

 

wait were any elp albums ever originally released in quad? no, right>?

 

Interest suddenly sparked again thanks to Mr. Wilson...

But can't believe these re-issues are beating "Lark's Tongues..." release date!

 

Yes, but I don't think that is Steven's choice. According to Robert Fripp's online diary, SW finished mixing Larks' about a year ago. It's all down to the record companies.
Personally, I wish they'd release every mix of his that's finished right now!
I have no patience, whatsoever!

 

Well, it's Fripp's record company isn't it?

 

Can't say I'd buy any more ELP reissues on CD. I have bought so many copies of these already.

HOWEVER, I am absolutely going to buy any 5.1 ELP releases mixed by Steven Wilson and I am sure I will treasure each and every one of them.

 

Wow, has anyone ever generated as much interest here with a two word + emoticon post?

Count me in as excited too!
