I first came across this SACD on Hong Kong ebay, and as far as I know, it's still only available on HK ebay. The surprising thing about this SACD is that it was licensed by a Taiwanese record company for release on SACD. Anyway, if you know Norah Jones from her 2 solo albums, then get ready for a ... more
