Hoping there are other Linda fans here? If there are going to be more Linda Ronadtadt releases on SACD, which albums would you like to see?

I'd like to see the remaining Nelson Riddle albums along with her core 70's albums like Simple Dreams, Heart Like A Wheel, Prisoner in Disguise and Get Closer as well as Cry Like A Rainstorm.

I'll take any. "Cry Like a Rainstorm" on SACD would be awesome.

During The Show in Newport Beach last year, David Robinson was playing an Analog Tape to Quad DSD transfer he did with the HAPI system of Heart Like a Wheel. It was amazing!

Brian, will MoFi license Heart Like A Wheel for an upcoming SACD release using the Quad DSD transfer any time soon?

Heart Like A Wheel was always, IMHO, a very well recorded album.

I believe MoFi previously released Heart Like A Wheel as a 24K Gold RBCD.

I've been waiting to hear more on the MoFi 4X DSD upsampling demos at CES. No one has written about it so far. Hmm..

On Heart Like a Wheel, it depends on whether Universal will license it. And which reissue company is interested.

Seems like a natural for SACD release. And certainly the Analog to Quad DSD demo by David Robinson was very convincing!

IMHO, Linda Ronstandt had one of the most beautiful voices in Rock and 'tis a shame she's been silenced by Parkinson's Disease.

My bet would be MoFi, Brian, for Linda's SACD remasters as they have done some of her previous albums on Gold RBCD.

I can ONLY imagine how great that QUAD DSD demo sounded!

Thanks for sharing.

Maybe, but it probably uses the PCM master made for the 2002 DVD-A, like many Warner Japan SACD titles released around 2011, i.e. less than optimal for a new SACD release

http://www.discogs.com/Linda-Ronstadt-Nelson-Riddle-Orchestra-The-Whats-New/release/4291883

Concerning other hi-rez options, there are currently 12 Linda Ronstadt albums available in 24/192 and 24/96 on HDtracks, grouped into a 70's (5 albums) and a 80's collection (7 albums).

The original CD sounds great , how much better is the SACD ? However I do agree with Discspinner the music does plod along and is relentlessly slow for frequent listening.
