EMI To Release First DVD-Audio Title...

Monday, July 28th, record giant EMI is jumping on the DVD-Audio bandwagon with its release of the legendary Beach Boys album "Pet Sounds", remastered in full 5.1 DVD-Audio and DTS surround sound. While this announcement should spark great interest amongst audiophiles, it seems that the record companies are still hedging their bets on the new high-end audio formats by releasing a majority of DVD-Audio and SACDs as remasters of familiar material with a built-in audience, rather than generating excitement about new-fresh material that may be somewhat of a gamble.
