ABOUT HDCD

High Definition Compatible Digital (HDCD) is a patented encode/decode process for delivering the full richness and detail of the original microphone feed on Compact Discs and DVD-Audio.

HDCD-encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with 20 bits of real musical information, as compared with 16 bits for all other CDs. HDCD overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD format by using a sophisticated system to encode the additional 4 bits onto the CD while remaining completely compatible with the existing CD format. HDCD provides more dynamic range, a more focused 3-D soundstage, and extremely natural vocal and musical timbre. With HDCD, you get the body, depth, and emotion of the original performance not a flat, digital imitation.

HDCD is playable on all CD players

Packing : 2CD slim jewel box with slip case

Encoding : HDCD (20-Bit)

Remarks : All tracks are original versions. There are Chinese characters for the translation of artist name and song names on the CD cover and booklet, which make it an extremely special addition to your collection.

FTD release for April

No decision has been made yet on the next 2004 releases, except that the April 1st. release is going to be a “soundboard” recording from the 70’s. We are keeping an ear to the ground on which show to chose, but unfortunately most fans are now asking for shows from periods and tours where we don’t have any or very few shows (1970-73, July ’75).
