It is a shame that the 25th anniversary release of Graceland only comes with a measly documentary DVD that can be had on superior Blu Ray anyway.

A missed opportunity to release it in a high res 5.1 format.

I agree. It doesn't make sense that the majors are playing with SACD releases in Japan, don't get there is global market potential ito build the SACD market if they offer titles people want at an affordable price. Graceland would have made a brilliant Mch SACD, which I woul have bought. Needless to say, I have not bought this issue.

Me too, Paul Simon's Graceland would have been a must have SACD. Please Warner Bros. let this be your first Warner Bros. USA SACD! There are other people in the world besides Japanese Audiophiles and we need affordable Pop/Rock/World SACDs!

Teresa, if I'm not mistaken, wasn't Graceland prepared and announced for a 5.1 DVD~Audio release before Warners cancelled further releases in that format?

Along with Joni Mitchell's Blue and Crosby, Stills and Nash titles.......hmmmm.......amazing that these much sought after titles never received a hi~def release.

Analogue Productions: How about a Joni Mitchell SACD box set?
