Billy Joel - Streetlife Serenade 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition (Mch SACD of Quad mix from Sony Japan)

[esimms86]

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Willie the Shake!

Have some mostly new to me music to listen to. If I've heard any of these albums before, in their entirety, it's been decades.

Of course, but I also love the nostalgia of seeing the old graphics, and the fact that someone in the proper place cares enough to spend the effort to duplicate those adds, for me, to the value of the package. It's something that they didn't have to do to make the product marketable. The fact that they did it is what makes it nice.

Like Rhino with the tape box scans and the replica labels on the discs. Not needed to sell the product, but a nice touch

there's no doubt SonyJP goes all out on these releases. Now if only I could read Japanese!

Make good photos with a phone, then feed the graphics to Google Gemini and tell it to “Translate into English”.

Been doing that with some Sony Japan LPs the last few weeks. Works really well.

good suggestion. I think I'll try that.

Google translate also takes pictures as input, and there is a Google Translate smartphone app that does translation in real time on live pictures.

Yep, I use that a lot with these Japanese editions. Only to realise (the blinding obvious) that all the info in the booklets and such is also 50 years old!

I’ve done that with Russian, too. Output is generally readable.

Now DHL is saying tomorrow. So, no change. Still tomorrow.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You're always, a day away
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You're always, a day away..."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You're always, a day away
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You're always, a day away..."

My copy was in Memphis as of 11:00 last night, on its journey to Massachusetts. Hopefully by now Elvis has left the building.

Meanwhile, Ralphie got his copy delivered two days ago to his home somewhere outside of NYC.

Mine has been stuck in Chicago for 3 days, hasn't moved. No idea why. Certainly not weather related

Always impressed that they print the product's release date on the back of the cover.

At this rate you'll have sold it before it even arrives.

OMG-I never new about printed translator before, what a great tool. I purchased Apple Translator Go $35.99 a year.
Then I scanned an album Steve Miller The Vault where Disc 3 is solid Japanese.
Then I pointed camera at my PC, Japanese to English and bang translated in a fraction of second.
There are so many Japanese discs I own that I never got to read. I'm not going to back and read everything but going forward, what a wonderful tool, Thanks so much.

Amazing that I come to the QQ website almost daily and I somehow missed this whole thread!

Thanks everyone for posting, I was bound to see this sooner or later. Ordered.
