FYI, these DTS releases are DTS *CD's*, NOT DVD-A's. Ie, they can be 
played in a CD player (vs a DVD player), but you need a DTS decoder to 
play them. Some DVD players have this built-in.

Again, these are DTS CD's, not DVD-A's.

Days Of Future Passed was released in Quad back in 1974. The DTS (CD) 
version uses the Quad mix (I believe this was released in 1997). I believe 
a 5.1 SACD is in the works, which will be a totally new mix.
