Roger Waters...


Does anyone know if this CD was realesed in a higher quality pressing (gold disc, import...especially Japanese) or are there plans for a new release (Japanese EMI?) Sorry analog fans, this is one piece of music that shouldn't be split up on 2 sides!

Chriskh,

OK, not DCC, but Sony/Columbia have issued a gold version of "Amused to Death". They used the Super BitMap processing, too. Sounds pretty good, though I can't comment on a comparison with the British vinyl.
I have this CD in a Sony SBM version. It is much clearer and less harsh than the standard CD.
I would have to agree with Black70jr that the Sony SBM gold version is quite a bit better than the standard. I have both copies and only play the standard on the road.
jeff,ditto on catching the animals tour. i was blown away at tampa stadium (aka stadium venue). the wemb (?) quad p.a. sitting on the top row X4 crosscorner was primo at that local and tour.
meddle i agree (not sucky) another listening experience,
indoors, at the winterland. kurt
chriskh: i do have a gold cd of "amused to death" and thought i had bought it from the dcc distributor at ces a few years ago. i've just now pulled it from my shelves. the back cover indicates it's from columbia/legacy/master sound and was mastered using sbm technology. the cd number on the "spine" is ck-64426. my new guess is, i bought it from the master sound distributor. -kelly
