BIG Blu-Ray Audio drive from Universal Music in 2013

[fredblue]

They won't take your money until items are ready for dispatch.

Given that FNAC, have exclusive selling rights for the next 5 months, i'm not surprised they say temporarily out of stock. ( It said the same thing on Amazon.fr on release date, 13/14th )

I doubt very much, that anyone will be able to buy these discs, from anywhere other than FNAC ! ??

There's a seller in France selling these titles on eBay, with a mark up from the Fnac RRP.

That seller is showing 10 in stock of every title, so maybe they've bought 10 of each speculating on selling these at a small profit to folks outside France/Europe who are having difficulties getting their hands on these.

Innervisions, Gasoline Alley and John Barleycorn sound good on SHM-SACD.

Aja, Blind Faith, Who's Next and Wheels of Fire sound like crap.

+5.1

if UMG continue on this stereo-athon, I'm hoping the next batch will include other Japan-only Universal SHM-SACDs such as:

Steely Dan's "Aja",
The Queen back catalogue,
The Dire Straits back catalogue,
The remaining Stevie Wonder albums:-
"Innervisions", "Hotter Than July", "Talking Book", "Fulfillingness' First Finale",
Olivia Newton-John's "Come On Over",
Black Sabbath's "Master Of Reality",
Rainbow "Rainbow Rising", "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll",
Thin Lizzy "Black Rose",
Lynyrd Skynyrd "Second Helping",
Jimmy Smith "The Cat",
Whitesnake "Come An' Get It",
The Style Council "Cafe Bleu",
Fairport Convention "Liege & Lief",
Traffic "John Barleycorn Must Die",
Rod Stewart "Gasoline Alley",
Wishbone Ash "Argus",
"Asia",
Cream's "Wheels On Fire",
"Blind Faith",
10cc "The Original Soundtrack",
The Who's "Who's Next",
Marvin Gaye "What's Going On"...

That might explain, why my latest order placed with FNAC, on the 20th, hasn't dispatched yet ! ?

well I hope Universal have made more than 10 of each title or we're all in a lot of trouble..!!

PHEW!

I do wonder just how many copies of these blu-rays have been pressed for this trial in France..!?

it'd be ironic if these new French artist blu-rays turn out to be as rare and sought after as their old SACD counterparts (even without the Surround mixes the SACDs had!) @:

doesn't bear thinking about does it.. :yikes

There's the Fnac total exclusivity theory confirmed! Amazon can't get these discs from the distributor either!

That and the Cat Stevens doesn't exist (yet!)..!!

HMV.co.jp claims they will have it on the 25th of next month. Should be interesting to see what happens.

I doubt it !! ( especially when there's this exclusivity contract ! )

Who needs HMV, when you've got FNAC ! ? ( With their excellent delivery service....for which you pay for, of course ! ) My DHL man should be here very soon !!

Thank you my dear !

In my excitement to rip off the cellophane, I didn't think about the stickers.

My carer's just gone.....and now i'm relaxing with Diana !

( First impressions.....the audio quality of these discs, are top notch !!
