SA-CD.net - Rolling Stones - new Japanese SACD?

Post by Nanker Phelge March 27, 2008 (1 of 2)

Hello,

New to the forum, regrettably late to the party. I’ve been trying to play catch-up and collect the out-of-print Stones SACD digipaks with mixed results. I initially made the mistake of ordering through Amazon, which still lists the new jewel case CD's as SACD's (the links here go to those non-SACD items). I happened to be on Amazon today when I noticed there are new Japanese import Stones SACD's listed with January 2008 release dates. They are not all in stock yet, but the site seems to indicate they will be soon. I looked around online and I see them popping up at CD Universe, even Target. (I didn't want to post any links, but if you search "Rolling Stones SACD" on Amazon, you will see what I am referring to.)

Does anyone know anything about these? Are they truly SACD Hybrids? Similar packaging? The same ABKO remastering, etc? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

The Stones SA-CDs were released as a Japanese domestic set at the same time as the initial release. Other than packaging they're likely identical. This site has details on THREE sets. I keep on asking for people to tell me the barcodes of the CDs masquerading as SA-CDs so I can remove the links here but I'm still waiting.
