Fantastic debut album, which they never bettered.
After seeing some (younger) relatives at the weekend and gifting them an old TT and some duplicate LP's I had, they responded by sending me a copy of this. Good stuff !

I had a bit of a brain fart a few months ago and inadvertently pre-ordered Animals 2018 Vinyl from two different suppliers, the first one which I expected showed up over a week ago which is the purely Vinyl version, then today this boxed set arrived. I was going to send it back, but as I already paid for it several months ago and I am a big PF fan I have decided to keep it. I am going to have to get the Blu-ray player out to see how good that version is, the CD version I'm playing right now is rather stunning.
A note on this particular remix, IMHO it may be the best version available. I have an early 1977 Vinyl copy, a 2000 CD release, and this version. The original vinyl mix is OK but it does somehow sound somewhat dead in places and I think aspects of the detail are lost in the mix, the 2000 CD version not much different, it still has that underlying dullness. This 2018 remix is somewhat different, the soundstage is far more expansive and open, and it is much easier to pinpoint instruments and hear detailed aspects, I have heard some do not like this remix but I think for once a remix has improved the end result.
The 192khz 24bit version is available on Qobuz and a master version on TIDAL so presumable the same version, if you like Animals and stream on either then it would be worth a listen.

I hope you enjoyed it, really needs a relaxing spliff along with it.:lol: They always remind me of an even more Country version of the Eagles, but their albums vary a bit.Quote:

Following on from my earlier post, I decided to do some digital comparisons of this, I listened earlier to PF - Animals(2018 remix) on CD and greatly enjoyed it. I dug out and connected up my Panosonic Blu-Ray player (not a cheap one, but a 3D Blu-ray player with loads of features and Hi SQ), this was connected to my Audiolab 8300CDQ DAC using Optical, so PCM output from the player. My streaming is via microRendu to the same Audiolab 8300CDQ DAC but via USB.
I found Animals(2018 remix) on Qobuz. Both the Blu-Ray and Stream versions should be identical as both the 192hz/24bit.
I started with them in sync and could easily flip from one to the other with a press of a button. Initially I thought both sounded very much the same, but after only a few minutes of switching between the Blu-Ray and the Streamed Qobuz it became apparent that the Blu-Ray sounded better, there is slightly more depth to it, better defined bass, and the sound stage is better. If you had only heard the streamed version then you would have been more than happy, but the Blu-ray definitely has the edge.
So this raises several questions, it all could be down to my kit, presumably with a better streamer/DAC I would be able to obtain the same detail and depth as the Blu-ray, or would I? A difficult question and probably expensive to investigate and answer!
One thing is clear to me though the 192hz/24 bit version sounds better to me than the standard CD version.
I think I now need to very quickly just get back to listening to the Music:lol:
