Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane Rough Mix DualDisc

Another day and an underpublicized 5.1 release on the way...this time around its a reissue of the interesting "Rough Mix"collaboration of Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane. I seem to recall having a copy of this cd but fear that its buried in the hell of our storage locker...or I already vanquished it from the Wheeler library on ebay some 5 years ago. I seem to remember it as a somewhat mediocre effort that reflected well on neither. At any rate...it too is availabe for preorder here for about the cost of a used Lambretta..

DVD side: I can only assume that its a 5.1 Dolby Digital rendering of the CD side. It could also be enhanced stereo...or one of those HDAD offerings that Townshend has previously solo-iloquyed....or something or other...

I rather enjoyed this release by Townsend/Lane. Parts are understated but there is also some rocking out. It the hi-Res part of the Dualdisc is the High Resolution 5.1 which is found on most of Warners DVD-Audio releases which is 96Hrz 24 bit excellent sound. It accentuates the acoustic instruments and redefines performances by Eric Clapton, Charlie Watts, Lane, Townsend and others. The mix in 5.1 suprisingly good for the vintage '77 recordings. Jon Astley remixed stereo and 5.1 versions who also did the Who catalouge.
