"I wonder then why a band like U2, arguably the world's biggest band these days, issues vinyl. Am I reading something into that....like maybe its doable?" Well, Rick, looks like you answered your own question. With U2 being arguably the world's biggest band, I'm sure they have massive clout with their record company and it they want some vinyl isuued then it'll probably gets done. The ABB on the other hand, from a business standpoint, are a much smaller operation and basically they and/or Santuary Record would probably feel that issuing vinyl isn't cost effective. As matter of fact I believe that both "Fillmore East" and "Eat a Peach" have both been re-released on SACD format. Matter of fact here's short review of the SACD "Eat a Peach" from GoodSound. "This multichannel SACD version of this classic album sounds ten times better than any previous digital edition. The sound is as warm and rich as the best analog, yet has detail that only a higher resolution can give. You can clearly hear the attack on every guitar note, whether electric or acoustic, and the funky organ sound has focus and presence. The drums also have incredible presence, while the struck cymbals shimmer in a very realistic way. The bass is focused and solid without being overly prominent, as is too often the case in 5.1-channel remixes. The center-channel vocals, bled to the right and left for cohesion, allow every nuance in Gregg Allman’s delivery to be heard with ease. The surrounds provide ambience and a good feeling for the medium-size venue, The Fillmore East. This classic has been given its due. A DVD-Audio version should be out by the time you read this….Rad Bennett"
