Coming in August...."Toto IV" on multichannel hybrid SACD w/ bonus tracks in 7" mini LP packaging

[birrrdy!]

One of my favorite albums. The song "I Won’t Hold You Back" bring memories of a sweet and beautiful girlfriend of my youth

Day 1, Day 1, Day 1..............................................

Never had the original SACD (got a burned copy)

Thank you Sony Japan!!!!!!!

Pre-ordered

Regards,

Yes, and thank you very much Sony Japan! I don't even have the burned copy and have been priced out on ebay for this item for many years... I think Africa could become a regular demonstration track for my home setup if it's as good a mix as I hope!

Paired Toto IV with Head Hunters (the only 7” I was missing), used the cdjapan coupon and some points I had and got both with tax and delivery for $83USD total

Sean, are all US deliveries from CDJapan still mandated to utilize DHL s/h?

 

[skherbeck]

I have my preferences set to DHL, so I’m not sure if there are other options. I’ve never had any problems.

As my bonus points @ CDJapan were about to expire as well as that 1000jpy off coupon I went ahead and pre~ordered Toto IV and added two UHQ MQA titles as well [Leon Russell Live; John Coltrane Live @ Birdland].

 

[gvl_guy]

I ordered mine, too

"TOTO IV" Japanese original 40th anniversary deluxe edition features SACD hybrid (5.1ch) format. Its CD layer includes audio tracks remastered by Elliot Scheiner in 2018. This edition also includes four bonus tracks. They are based on unfinished outtakes from recording sessions from 1981-1982 and completed as new songs in 2018. Comes with a 1982 Japan tour pamphlet replica, a tour poster, a ticket for Budokan concert, and a donut vinyl single jacket replica. 7inch cardboard sleeve packaging.

Thank you for calling this one out. Ordered. Plus the bonus that postage is reasonable and that is something rare for those of us who live on treasure island.

Don't have the original surround SACD on this and with Elliot Scheiner mix this is easy buy for me at this price.

As a huge fan of Toto and this album, and as one who has the multichannel SACD as well as the bonus tracks, I’m torn. It is definitely a cool collectors item, but as I said to @DennisMabry earlier today, there’s a fine line between fanaticism and stupidity!

For your consideration . . . fanaticism <------ passion/wisdom -------> stupidity
Find that centre point and buy it before it's gone

I never saw santana lll available from import cd, so I wonder if they will get this toto disc. DHL shipping for this disc is almost as expensive as the disc itself!

Have NO idea why neither ImportCD/Deep Discount never listed Santana III .......Ironically, they list ALL those Hong Kong SACDs and Universal Japan SHM~SACDs but lately, SONY Japan has been absent from their inventory!

And yes, DHL s/h is ridiculous ..... almost $26US

 

[Sixtyten]

Tempted. Then I saw that the postage was two thirds the cost of disc. Fraid that's a no from me.

Ordering from CDJapan really only makes sense if you're placing a large order, where you can amortize the shipping cost over multiple items.

That is why I ordered both to amortize shipping…and used the 1,000 Yen discount promotion…and decided to add the Japanese-only 7” double SACD version of “Let it Bleed” that I have been eyeing for a while
