About the Aqualung remix, this was all done at 96K and in particular the new
stereo mix is something that I'm very proud of, since the recording was not
done under the best circumstances (though what's on tape is better than the
original mix would suggest). Having failed to get EMI to go Blu-Ray on this
(which is the high res audio format I'm moving to for a forthcoming solo
record), I'm still urging them to at least do a DVDA. The problem with the
major labels is that although there are genuine music lovers still in these
companies, they are beholden to the accountants who run things. This was not
an issue with Crimson reissues because Robert owns all the copyrights, so we
could do what we wanted with them. I'm going to pursue the idea of somehow
trying to make the high res formats available if the companies won't do it,
but don't hold your breath - there's a lot of bureaucracy involved.
At least the success of the Crimson reissues has led a to more and more
artists from this era coming to the conclusion that a sympathetic remix (by
which I mean one that is super faithful to the original mix in every
respect, using the same balance, EQ, stereo placement, plate
reverbs..etc..), can do what no amount of remastering the original mixes can
do in bringing out sonic clarity. So in terms of the model of deluxe
editions with the original mix, a new stereo mix, 5.1 mix, and mixes of
previously unheard out-takes found on the reels, there are more of these
kind of projects on the way, though I can't say more at present. I just hope
that more often than not we can incorporate a high res format into these
editions. Watch this space I guess...

"Guys - I've had confirmation from EMI that they are going with a regular
DVD for my 5.1 mix. On the plus side the original 70's quad mix will also be
included, and both the old and new stereo mixes at 96/24." SW - Steven

Cheers!
