I can, but in the interest of full disclosure I wrote the liner notes for this so I may be biased a little. Dutton Vocalion (and their classical sister label Dutton Epoch) have a stellar reputation for classical and easy listening reissues - the Penguin Guide to Classical Music on CD called Michael Dutton 'the supreme magician of CD re-mastering'. Mike has a long history in the music business, he started at Morgan Studios as a tea boy when Jethro Tull was recording Songs From The Wood. In the last couple of years Vocalion have turned their attention to the treasure trove of quad material that's been gathering dust in the major label vaults for the last 40 years and are trying to get as much of it out as possible.

Mike himself is a big fan of quad and recounted to me how exciting it was being able to listen to the quad master of Black Sabbath's Paranoid in the quad-equipped mixing studio at Morgan in London when he was a young man. I'm a big stickler for dynamic range (as I'm sure lots of people are) and so far all of the stereo/quad hybrid SACDs that Vocalion have released have been the best in that regard to date. Their release last year of Tower of Powers 'Aint Nothin Stoppin Us Now' on SACD had a higher DR rating in stereo than even the old 1993 Columbia CD, so that should give you a good idea of just how dynamic their masterings are - I think the Columbia CD was DR13 and the Vocalion SACD was DR14.

The quad mixes are often even more dynamic than their stereo counterparts. More information about this release can be found here. There are individual threads for all the other titles that are part of this release on sh.tv: In short, Michael Dutton is a fantastic mastering engineer - full dynamic range intact and very tastefully mastered.

For the price they charge for their discs I'm not sure how they even turn a profit, but as a consumer I wouldn't argue with it. Dutton Vocalion has issued a load of other stereo/quad hybrid SACDs over the last couple of years (there are threads about them, do a search for Vocalion) in a variety genres, in addition to the ones mentioned upthread there's also Tower of Power's 'Aint Nothin Stoppin Us Now', a bunch of Columbia Masterworks/RCA Red Seal classical albums, loads of easy listening (Henry Mancini, Hugo Montenegro, Percy Faith, Floyd Cramer, Ray Conniff, etc.) and probably the biggest hidden gem out of all of them, Michel Legrand's '20 Songs Of The Century'.
