Hi to all,
I picked up the new singles 1969 to 1981 SACD cd
today and was blown away by the sound quality. If you
get the chance to hear it on a good surround sound
system you will smile from ear to ear. Karens voice is so
crystal clear and you really get the chance to hear what
they mean by, " power ballads". I think you will all love
it. Happy listening.
Bill

 Me too, Roland. Tell me guys, what specifically will I need to be able to hear "everything." Will my surround sound do it? ~Best Tim

@@ Hi Tim, you will need an SACD player. A normal CD player will only play what you would normally hear. although I've heard that even on a normal CD player the sound is enhanced somewhat. Thank you Bill for the info. are there any different tracks from the original "Singles 1969-1981" release?  |

Yeah... Do you do those drawings/paintings by yourself, bro? [glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland Chayer[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow] Yes I do them myself. My current avatar (identity pic) is #2 in a series of nine facial portraits. They're all wearing some sort of mask. With the exception of #9 which is the one where he finally shows his entire face. Anyway I call #2 "Henry Learns From The School Of Hard Knocks". It's my brand of off-beat humor. Portrait #9 pictured below is called "Henry Unmasked".  A little Carpenters related trivia. I've titled portrait #7 "Long Ago And Oh So Far Away Henry Was A Superstar". |

Those are really cool drawings Rick I really like them.
As for systems SACD players are really expensive so I went with the poineer dvd player that plays all audio formats including SACD, DTS, and DVD audio and regular CDs and DVDs of course. Its all set up for the upcoming DVD audio/video release that will accompany my SACD of the Singles mentioned here. Thats your best and least expensive choice. Also proper speaker set up is essential to get the full sound. Just thought I would share the info for those interested.

^^ Thanks for the info on SACD....looks like I'm going to need to upgrade some listening equipment. Easier said than done..... Rick, your artwork is truly great. I'm anxious to see more in the series. How long have you been doing these? Hoping everyone is having a Top of the World Day today. ~Best Tim |

I haven't purchased my copy of the SACD yet. Although I plan on buying it today. I did read that there are new mixes of both "Superstar" and "Top Of The World". They also removed "All You Get From Love Is A Love Song", "I Need To Be In Love", "Those Good Old Dreams" and "For All We Know (the reprise)". Which were on the 2000 Edition. And they replaced those songs with "Bless The Beasts and The Children", "Calling Ocupants of Interplanetary Craft", "This Masquerade", and "Merry Christmas Darling". I thought this was a somewhat odd move as "This Masquerade" and "Bless The Beasts..." were not A-side singles. Regardless I love both songs.

Somebody emailed me and asked me why I removed the drawing from my personal avatar. I removed it because it was causing a small malfuntion on the forum. I guess the file was to large for that small avatar. I have attempted to decrease it's size and have posted the picture titled "Henry Learns From The School Of Hard Knocks" below.  |

$? $% I purchased the new SACD a few days ago and love it. I am so happy to have it. It looks like it's selling fairly well. Looks like my next big purchase for myself will be an SACD player. |

$@ You surely are a talented artist Rick! That must be a fun and enjoyable thing to do...do you use paint or charcoal...to draw or paint with?... I don't have a SACD player nor DVD player...but I did notice in browsing music that the Singles now are SACD...It's really a marvel the out standing progress that's being done these days...and I'm especially glad that the Carps. can be heard at their best. |
