Has anyone in Canada received a shipping notice?

 

[H.A.L.]

If you want to hear outdated sounding music, try listening to some of the stuff that came out in the 80’s.

I like outdated 80s music, and can't wait for it to show up on SDE !

I didn't get an email these were back in stock, but they are (along with Who's Next which came back in stock the other day). Was waiting until they both were to get my copies. Ordered!

Not me
I read somewhere that SDE was still holding back until the Canada Post strike backlog cleared up a bit.
I know that despite them having been back to work for 2 or 3 weeks now I’ve received very little.

1st Run through today & incredibly these mixes sound better than the equivalent old 5.1's & they were outstanding.....

The high praise coming in had me jump on the bandwagon. I'm looking forward to the newer material not previously released in surround, in addition to hearing any improvements they made in what I agree are already excellent 5.1 mixes.

You will not be disappointed. I agree that these new mixes sound even better than the older already excellent mixes. The songs that were never available in surround before are first rate as well. Great choices made for each song and this disc is demo material all the way.

So do I but I was trying to make a point. Doesn’t all music become outdated at some point? (Rhetorical)

Apparently not “Who’s Next”.

Mine is in Chicago, which is good because so am I. But no sign of it yet!

Listening to my copy right now and absolutely loving it! Very active surrounds, which makes me happy. Can hear instrumentation and background vocals previously buried in the stereo mixes

They are excepting mail so they should put them in the post.

I just got one. Too great of a title to miss out on. As of this moment, it’s still available:

I love the 5.1 mixes that were released on SACD in the 2000s era. Each one of those Elton John titles are still demo worthy. And the “Diamonds” collection should be a great addition.

Has anyone in Canada received a shipping notice?

No email and still other awaiting parcels that should have been delivered from before the strike, so far only a CDJapan order has arrived from before the strike (although this time I was dinged another $15 for customs - hasn’t happened before for their orders).

My pre strike CD Japan order finally arrived Dec.31, 2 months after it had shipped, luckily I did not get dinged by customs.
But it seems to be happening more often in the last year, especially orders from SDE.

My copy of Diamonds is supposed to arrive today along with some choo choo train stuff. So there will be heavy competition among the contents of the two packages for my attention. I'm fortunate to get Diamonds as I was away during the initial pre-order period, but SDE came up with more copies. Gonna be a fun Epiphany here.

 

[PurpleMoustache]

Mine is out for delivery as well
