In regards to your comment on the sound of Tusk there is a rumour floating around that the source of the HDTracks release of Tusk is a flat transfer of the aborted DVD-A 5.1 release. If this is the case it is a shame this was never released for that HD version is closest I have ever heard to my 1st LP pressing. Just wonderful quality.

You are correct. Tusk was going to be released on DVD-Audio. They even created a new 5.1 surround sound mix of the album from the original multi-tracks. Lindsey was heavily involved with this project.
In an interview a few years ago he was asked why it hasn't been released. He said that although the project was completed Warner were reluctant to put it out. He didn't give a reason as to why Warner ditched the idea of releasing it.
I'm guessing that it was because the DVD-Audio format was fading fast. It's virtually a redundant format now.
