Mr Big - Lean Into It 30th Anniversary Reissue SACD MCH

1666 Views 12 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  impetigo
Mr. Big‘s second album Lean Into It is being reissued across a number of formats next month for its 30th anniversary.
The 1991 album features the mega-crossover hit ‘To Be With You’, which was number one virtually everywhere (it peaked at number three in the UK). Follow-up single ‘Just Take My Heart’ was also a top 30 hit in Britain.
Evolution Music are behind this reissue and are offering some really interesting formats, which are as follows:
  • Hybrid SACD with stereo and 5.1 surround mix
  • 2CD deluxe on the Japanese MQA-CD format (playable on all CD players)
  • 7″ singles box set
Fantastic to see a label produce an SACD (super audio CD). This contains the album in both stereo and surround mixes. Because it’s a hybrid, you can play it on a normal CD player, but obviously it won’t be hi-res and you won’t have access to the 5.1 mix, both of which require an SACD player connected to the appropriate audio set-up. The 5.1 mix is a new mix by Chris Bell.
Audio for this reissue has been remastered via hi-res digital transfers from the original analogue master tapes.

Thanks for the info. I preordered it from a random website that someone posted here months ago so glad to see it being sold from a reputable dealer.

That was probably me. I'm trying to cancel my order with evo88 as the Amazon listing is $6 cheaper.

I hope it sells well though and evo88 does more releases in the rock genre.
I'm trying to cancel my order from evo88 as well.
I've had hit and miss on receiving music orders from overseas within the last year.

Oh yeah that was it. I sent an email to them yesterday requesting cancellation so hopefully it'll happen. I didn't realize they're responsible for this release, I thought they were like a Yes Asia retailer.
Got my order cancelled through evo88. Took a week and a half, along with several emails, but got 'er done.

Now if you factor that my free time is worth something, then it cost me $20 to save $6.

They replied to my email asking to cancel with "are you sure?" lol.

I think I'll probably just put my extra copy up for sale rather than try to cancel :rolleyes:
somehow this slipped under my radar.
Glad to see this being released. ordered from Bullmoose.

Wasn't too hard though. They responded in a couple days and after I confirmed that I wanted to cancel they processed the refund right away. If you are a big fan you could always keep one copy sealed for your collection. :)
So they ended up shipping this to me after they refunded my preorder, so I'll have them place another order since it was refunded already but interesting how it came faster than Amazon. It looks pretty good too, in a super jewel case like in the old days of SACD (shown with completely unnecessary slipcase).

Even though I submitted a request to evo88 to cancel they sent it any way. Just got it today.
They never responded to my offer to pay them again since they shipped it to me after refunding me, so I guess I get it for free.

The mix though is not great because of overly wacky panning and such. Including on "to be with you" the lead vocals come out of the left surround near the end and then moves to the right surround, and silly shenanigans like that. The other songs also have this type of mixing, with discrete instruments or vocals moving around the various speakers at times in a distracting way. It's too bad as it had promise as it is a fairly discrete mix with no lead vocals out of the surrounds, well, mostly.
