Would you get angry if I said that I went SACD shopping yesterday (and TODAY) and bought a ton of stuff?? LOL! Sorry, I didn't buy any actual vinyl LPs. But I'm sure lots of others did.

I haven't had a chance to listen to everything, but so far I've found these SACDs to be outstanding...

Danças Brasileiras - Minczuk

Stockholm Concert Hall Organ - Erik Lundkvist

Kendlinger dirigiert Strauss 2011

Mozaik - Niels Bijl

Bolcom, Corigiliano, Garner, Heggie, Woolf: Cabaret songs ("The Hours Begin to Sing") - Delan, Pankonin, Haimovitz, Rubtsov

hehe, no offense.

I have found this recordmania very entertaining.

Sure, I saw vinyl is in book store again, $30-$40/ea.

Sure, I also know I can buy records from 50' 60' 70' for $0.50/ea in local estate sale.

Sure, I have a yamaha turntable, but I am not using it for listening, just to transfer some record that never got chance to go CD to my computer.

So what is the point?

It is not a mass market, I am afraid, and will never be.

No, won't be going.
I went last year to Amoeba in San Francisco, long giant lines, people all holding vinyl. I scoured the shelves for high end discs, and they had hardly anything. What they had, I already had.

Then I went to the local record store in my town, same thing without the lines.

I think key word is Record Store Day, not SACD/BD~A/DVD~A day.

I went there and checked for the Simon & Garfunkel and Ad-Libs. No luck. I saw Love Is Blue by Jeff Beck. Tempting, but passed. It was $10.

Went to Silver Platters in Seattle today. Long, long, long lines. What I wanted was minimal and they were only offering 10% off prices.

Maybe we should be looking for SALPs...:-)

Actually, pet rocks were a better investment. At least we knew we were being 'duped!'
