The ones I mentioned previously have new catalog number as opposed to re-using the old catalog numbers and they also have Dolby AC-3 digital audio sound in place of the analog audio on channel 2.
I can confirm that is the case for the following which was released in 1998 as I have a few copies of that disc - one sealed and one opened:
Pointer Sisters: Live in Africa (1974) [PA-98-588]It mentions on the back the 5.1 Dolby Digital was created from the original mix at POP Sound by Ted Hall.
So it seems for titles where the audio was enhanced to AC-3 there were very few titles issued but any that were had new catalog numbers.
Cool. There can't be that many 5.1 audio titles out there on LD, it isn't even standard on DVD/BD. I know of Fleetwood Mac The Dance is AC3, the DVD is too though. DTS issue was canceled. I don't see a specific search for 5.1 music titles so hard to say how many.
EDIT: Just went thru, copy/pasted. I think this is all AC3 music titles: (very limited selection)
