If October 13 is the official release date a mail order company can ship product before that date as long as estimated delivery is on the 13th or after.

WalMart got a big fine a few years ago for putting DVDs and music CDs out before their release date.

If you happen to own the DVD-A version (or indeed the original LP), I'd really love to hear how the SACD compares.

Alas I don't. I stopped buying the LPs at "Pictures" and shnoozed on the DVD-A.

Thanks anyway.

I have the original LP (or better said my brother), the CD, and the DVD-A.

Perhaps if someone else out there can give a comparison, I'd love to hear their views. I love the DVD-A, but am curious to know why it sounds different to the LP or CD, and I'm not convinced it's down to hi-res. I did have the idea of listening to the stereo mix on the DVD-A once, but then realised that although the sleeve/case notes state that there is a 2CH mix in additional to 6CH, in reality there isn't - only 5.1.

Hope you enjoy your latest SACD.

Has anyone recieved a pre-order yet? I am waiting as patiently as I can but it's difficult. The dvd-a was in my top five most wanted untill I found out that an sacd was being released. Most websites are now listing it as back-ordered and I don't beleive my pre-order has shipped. =(

Hi,

today I got this Deluxe Edition. It has 3 albums. First is the original recording, maybe remastered. I havn`t listened to it yet, and I can't compare it, 'cause I don't have the CD.

The second one has tracks, which were released not on the CD "BSS":
"When The Apple Blossems Bloom In The Windmills Of Your Mind I'll Be Your
Valentine Time"
"Brain Salad Surgery" and a differnt/first mix of some tracks from "BSS"
and at least the songs, which were released on the NME Flexidisc.

The third ist the SACD and has the SACD logo on the album. The difference of the originally first release is, that "Karn Evil 9 1st Impression" on the SACD last 13:24 and on the first CD 8:34

I listned shortly to "Still..You Turn Me On". This sounds very good, very detailed and clear. A little different to the DD 5.1 Mix on the DVD-Audio.

At weekend, I try to make a complete comparision to both. I can only listen to the DD 5.1 mix, 'cause I don't have a DVD-Audio player.

Greetings and all the best

Joerg-Thomas
