Absolutely stunning performance and recording. The DTS 5.1 @ 24bit/192kHZ is magnificent, I can only imagine with a quality Atmos 7.1 setup, it must be astounding. Superb ...

Does anyone have any information on the record label that is issuing this release, IAC Music Japan?
Based on the research that I have done this appears to be an Japanese bootleg record label that according to the Discogs database has issued over 150 CD’s and SACD’s and of that number all are listed as “Unofficial Releases” with only about 25 not being labelled as such.
It seems pretty clear that IAC Music Japan is a bootleg record label so one has to wonder what source(s) are they using for the four Allan Holdsworth SACD releases. Most likely these will be sourced from the Manifesto Records CD remasters and simply be pressed and released on the SACD format which will yield zero audio benefits whatsoever.
If anyone has any additional info on IAC Music Japan or these upcoming Holdsworth SACD releases please leave a comment here to follow up.
