They are absolutely exquisite. Can’t wait to pick up a copy of Love Devotion Surrender. Caravanserai is one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard (or seen, given the 7” packaging)! I hope Sony Japan keeps ‘em coming.
Future Quadio releases?

Print quality and the foil jackets are stunners. But I simply buy 1/2 of the titles that I would normally buy due to the double price point. I can only justify a few of them here and there.
If they did not fit on any of my shelving spaces I would leave them out on the table as conversation pieces, or line them up as display items.

Thanks for the link. I've read blu-ray.com reviews for years but was not aware they did BD music disc reviews. I see the same reviewer also did a write-up on the recent R.E.M. "Up" Blu-ray.

I'm getting a marmite feeling about the Sony Japan 7" SACD packaging. People appear to either love it or hate it. (If you don't know what marmite is look it up. I hate the stuff.)

There are enough quad titles from Seals & Crofts for a Quadio boxed set! Considering none of their albums have ever been reissued in high def (in two- or four-channel), I'd say that's a good idea for a new box.
Yes, and Carly Simon has even more potential Quadios .
Thank you! I've been pushing for this forever.

Randy Newman's classic Sail Away is missing from the fredblue list. I have an R2R copy but am hesitant to play it because of possible binder issues.

The Japanese Yen is so weak against the $ right now you would be wise to take advantage now.
The same thing can be said of the Canadian Dollar....approximately 70% on the American $.
Mmm..... Marmite in a 7" jar ..... perfect!!
I must say that I really like the Sony SACD albums especially as they are such fantastic mini replicas of the original LP covers that I already have. I have found that as I get older I am not as tall as I was so there is a real parallel there but very questionable whether I can match the quality!

The CAD$ has not seen US$ parity in almost 10 years.

One of the reasons for me to buy my first SACD compatible player - two weeks ago! - was the discovery of the 7" SACD's. I do not plan to collect them but have already bought two of my favourite albums of all time (Toto IV and The Stranger). Love them! Sad that 52nd Street seems to not be available anymore, hope to come accross an affordable copy of that one in the near future. Considering Tapestry, not too bothered about the other ones that are currently available. Hoping for more Billy Joel and Toto (although I don't think any other Toto albums were mixed in 5.1 back then?). Some Bruce Springsteen perhaps?Mmm..... Marmite in a 7" jar ..... perfect!!

Sony Japan, MoFi, Dutton-Vocalion... now that you’ve opened the door to SACDs I wish you well in restraining yourself with all the great titles that are available.

Thanks!
You should be able to find "52nd Street" on eBay, Discogs or CDJapan through their proxy service (I ordered the Jeff Beck "Wired" via proxy and was very satisfied). Good luck hunting and happy listening... Cheers!
Look for a copy of Billy Joel Streetlife Serenade too. Its also quite worthy.
Springsteen's Devils and Dust came out on dualdisc. I don't have it, but I read the mix is very poor.
There's also Seeger Sessions , which I think is not bad , a sort of "live in the studio" mix.
I just noticed from this other thread Liberty / UA ( United Artists) / Blue Note - quad info/history that Eldorado was prepared for Quad back in the day but never released.
This is is the first that I ever heard of it, as I was only previously aware the debut album came out in quad.It was a missed opportunity for the recent SACD not to have this but I understand that MoFi only do stereo.
