Wow! Thanks. Geez, I've really been dropping the ball lately.

Hey, did you notice the two different cover graphics? Don't think I've ever seen the one on the left except in promotional graphics.

Hey, did you notice the two different cover graphics? Don't think I've ever seen the one on the left except in promotional graphics.

Queen ANATO also has two different covers, although not as drastic as the Carly one. The main difference being the paper in the spine is blue in Europe vs black in the US. If I get time I'll take pictures.

A newcomer heading straight for Top 50: Sita - Happy (SACD) for EUR 213.50 (approximately US $311.32)

Wow. That's pretty impressive. This one is on my sacd.net wish list. But I'm thinking it will be a rare day when I can get that one @:

Side note: beyond the direct link, I cannot "search" ebay for this one using advance search options: completed auctions. Of late I've found the ability to find things in ebay to be inconsistent in the results even though it should work. I check ebay almost every day for SACD's and somehow this one escaped me.

I have two copie of Billy COBHAM's Spectrum and as the Band's The Last Waltz with the same graphics differences as Carly Simon's No Secrets: one was manufactured in E.U (with the thicker top band), and one was manufactured in the U.S.A. (with two smaller bands on top and bottom).

I believe it's common on all DVD-A titles issued in both Europe and America.

I had not noticed those graphic differences earlier!

That ties in with my Purchased in Japan version which was manufactured in Germany. Mine has the thicker top band and I have never seen any like the Right hand side.

That explains it. Thanks!

The Carly Simon DVD-A came out when there was a glut of titles in the market. I held it in my hands quite a few times and passed. At the time I needed to prioritize and this didn't make the cut, especially since I already had the quad version. The same goes for the Doobie Brothers DVD-A.

If only there was a time machine...

 

[Green]

I have also noticed a difference in the Donald Fagen Kamiriakad disc.

One version has the thick advanced resolution band and the other says 5.1 surround at the top.

You know what really sucks is that there is no reason what so ever these WB/Rhino titles could not be manufactured and sold by "BecauseSoundMatters". The work has been done and all it would take is manufacturing runs that could easily be recouped by selling the discs at retail directly through their own supply chain. They could market the discs to automobile owners and dealerships, and they would not even have to release a new title if these catalog discs did not sell. Heck, all of the stock they cut-out could have been sold at list, through them, and they would have made some serious cash and maintained their product in the market.

Instead, folks are paying $100+ for titles that could easily be available at retail if WB/Rhino did a bit of "outside the box" thinking.

 

[tiggers]

I agree.

and

Wow, we've really steered this ship off topic

Gettin' this thread back on topic, here's some more "Shockers!"

This Deep Purple "Stormbringer" Quad reel is likely to go for a high price.

This was a bit of a ebay shocker for me. I don't think I've seen a SACD sampler go for so much. Not really familiar with the artists or tracks so I couldn't say what the appeal for this sampler is.

$138.95 for "Best of Super Audio Cd - Various artists", Rare sampler 2002

1. Jam & Spoon feat. Rea - Be.Angeled
2. Lou Bega - Mambo No. 5 (A little bit of...)
3. Candy Dulfer - Lily Was Here
4. Faithless - Muhammed Ali
5. H-Blockx - Take Me Home
6. Guano Apes - Living In A Lie
7. Eurythmics - There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)
8. Westlife - I Lay My Love On You
9. Law - XXX
10. O-town - All Or Nothing
11. Modern Talking - Win The Race
12. City - Am Fenster

I'd love to hear Candy Dulfer's song in 5.1...but not for $140!! @:

PS - This seller has a copy of Groove Armada's Lovebox and bidding has already reached $120, with over 4 days left to go!

 

[Green]

That quad reel Stormbringer went for 170.39!

[JonUrban]

Thanks again everyone. I'll update the list tomorrow.
