  SACD+Back   Seven Steps To Heaven “The Columbia/Legacy reissue of the original session of 1992 remastered the original tapes & is quite good, but an A/B comparison with the 3-channel SACD from Analogue Productions shows a much more realistic and musical-sounding piano. When Miles comes in on center, his trumpet is more colorful, detailed & rich-sounding than on the standard CD. The drums also possess a more varied & detailed presence in the mix.” – John Henry, Audiophile Audition, September 2010 Audad review: This is the classic Miles session when he was still being fairly tonal & straightforward. He picked up Herbie Hancock from Blue Note & Victor Feldman from Ava Records & unlike his Someday My Prince Will Come album of the same period, this one comes with an excellent essay in the note booklet by Leonard Feather. All the performers are first rate & Miles didn’t direct them overmuch – he tended to expect they would follow his plans by intuition. The opening track of Basin Street Blues is nothing like you might be familiar with from trad jazz recordings, but still rather straightforward in its handling of the theme. It is also by far the lengthiest of the 6 tracks, at 10½ minutes. Of course the title track, the next one up, is one of the most famous Miles’ themes ever. The Columbia/Legacy reissue of the original session of 1992 remastered the original tapes & is quite good, but an A/B comparison with the 3-channel SACD from Analogue Productions shows a much more realistic & musical-sounding piano (though it’s unknown which of the 2 pianists is at the keyboard). When Miles comes in on center, his trumpet is more colorful, detailed & rich-sounding than on the standard CD. The drums also possess a more varied and detailed presence in the mix. There is no mention of the 3-channels anywhere except for the little box that says Multi-ch & Stereo. That is similar to the Everest SACD reissue of Villa-Lobos & Ginastera – it is labeled multichannel for its 3 front channels. I believe all the other jazz SACD reissues from Analogue Productions are 2 channel. Though Gil Evans was not involved in these 2 sessions, I think Miles picked up some fine pointers from his earlier work with Evans which made this session much deeper & more sophisticated than one would expect from a typical jazz quintet featuring trumpet. Of course with Miles it’s not typical at all. ~John Henry From Quadraphonicquad forum: Seven-Steps…-and-Someday-My-Prince…-3-Channel-SACD-s-by-Miles-Davis Analogue Productions CAPJ 8456 SA “Someday My Prince Will Come” sounds more open and slightly better detailed in 2-ch than Sony SRGS4544 (SACD.) The Sony sounds a bit more compressed and is at a higher level. For grins, I also compared Disc 13 (ordinary CD) from “The Complete Columbia Album Collection.” The CD sounds suprisingly close to the Sony SACD. The 3-Channel mix is a jewel. Miles is in the center. Although I own a Mobile Fidelity (silver CD), and a Columbia CD from the ’90′s (different cover), I didn’t compare those. Both SACD versions are sadly missing the bonus tracks, “Someday My Price Will Come” (alt. take) and “Blues No. 2,” which are included on Disc 13 and the current Columbia CD. Analogue Productions CAPJ 8851 SA “Seven Steps to Heaven” again sounds more open and detailed in 2ch than SIGP 14 (SACD.) Suprisingly, I felt that Disc 18 (ordinary CD) from “The Complete Columbia Album Collection” sounded better than SIGP14! It had a better high end, but pales compare to CAPJ 8851 SA. Again, a glorious 3-ch mix! I didn’t compare the Japanese CD I own (the spine says, “Miles Davs”). Disc 18 also has bonus tracks, like the current Columbia CD. They are: “So Near, So Far” (alt. take) and “Summer Night.” In response to “The Rang,” yes the Nat King Coles and Sam Cooke “Night Beat” are also in 3-ch. Most of you likely know that there is a wealth of 3-ch SACD’s in the Sony/RCA “Living Stereo” series and in Mercury’s “Living Presence” series. I especially love the Heifetz and “Fennell conducts Leroy Anderson.” ~Quad Linda   Новичкам: что делать с этим iso ? 1.Образ iso нужно записать на DVD диск программой ImgBurn, получив в итоге SACD-R. Какие стационарные SACD плееры играют и не играют рипнутые SACD диски (SACD-R)? (обсуждение). 2.Для проигрывания на компьютере: foobar2000 + sacd-плагин к нему (открывать образ прямо в foobar2000). Воспроизведение и конверсия SACD на компьютере (обсуждение).
