Omschrijving

Tangerine Dream‘s first four albums for Virgin Records, Phaedra (1974), Rubycon (1975), Ricochet (1975) and Stratosfear (1976) will all be reissued in Japan next month as SHM-SACDs.

Each album is newly remastered for 2015 from the original UK analog master tape and as usual these sets will be packaged as fully blown mini-LP CD / vinyl replica / paper sleeve editions with an OBI strip replicating the design from the very original Japanese LP.

These SACDs aren’t hybrid which means you have to have an SACD player to enjoy them, but like the forthcoming Roxy Music sets the same new masterings will be utilised for compatible-with-all-CD-player SHM-CD editions (‘platinum’ and standard).

The packaging will almost certainly follow the previous template with SACD and platinum SHM-CD securing the mini-LP CD in an outer box and the standard SHM-CD having no outer box.

All four albums will be reissued in Japan on 25 February 2015.
