Amazon.com just activated their SACD listing and are currently showing a release date of August 21st, 2020.
Their vinyl listing has been active for several days at least, now, and shows a release date of September 18th, 2020.
I think so. Like much (non-classic) rock and pop, hip-hop and rap were and are seemingly disinterested in audiophile re-releases, so I believe this is the first one that should sound good, if not the first one, period.

Kind of weird about this Run DMC release. I ordered in August with the Johnny Cash mono I walk the line. About two weeks ago MOFI contacted me and said the RUN DMC is delayed, I said OK, just send me Johnny Cash. Then 1 week later RUN DMC gets released, again and I order and it arrives today, I guess they needed an extra $7.99 in shipping.
If I were you... I'd just call them...I had something similar happen to me and it was some type of computer glitch...they were pretty nice to talk to and I didn't come on too strong and they helped me...worth a try IMO
Nice toe porn dude. lmao

ALWAYS KNEW MARKIE HAD SOLE! GIVES NEW MEANING TO DIGITOE!
Listening now to this stereo monster with super bass, highly recommended. Bcuz it's fuckin tricky bitches.
Music Direct put through a charge on my card today. The only thing I had preordered is 2ch Nilsson Schmilsson SACD. Hopefully, I'll see it within a couple days.
Let us know what you think about it
Listening to this addition to my MOFI collection. First time listen to this music, reminds me of Billy Joel.
I was watching a You Tube clip where Rick Beato was interviewing Vinnie Colaiuta and when asked what is your #1 drum recording he said without hesitatation Tony Williams on Miles Davis-Nefertiti. In college he said he listened every night before sleep.
So I thought I would re-listen to this 2015 MOFI release of the 1968 album in stereo focusing on Tony Williams, quite brilliant indeed.

Enjoying a new one for me Paul Simon. Hybrid SACD stereo, orginally released in 1975 and released as SACD 2021.
DR's are 12's, 13's, 14's. Nice and smooth sounding.

I don't think Mobile Fidelity gets enough credit for the work they do on these stereo SACD's...at least for the last several years...
I completely agree with you, I always jump at the chance. I think they have a little sneaky thing however, that I have noticed.
When they are released I like to buy from MOFI direct, shipping is fast, packaging always good, and not that it should matter i will get a lower release number which satisfies the collector in me.
That said, they charge $7.99 in shipping, which is expensive.
What I have noticed is they usually release in pairs, but a week apart.
I am not saying on purpose, but $7.99 X 2 is now really significant.
Last week when Paul Simon was released, I thought, I'm going to wait and see what happens, but I pulled the trigger anyway, thinking my theory is probably wrong.
Sure enough this week they release Alan Parsons Project - Eye In The Sky.
My gut was correct.
I did not purchase as I have the BD-A surround version.
Have you heard the MFSL of Pretenders II? It doesn’t sound right. Otherwise, they do sound great.
What’s wrong with II? I’ve only got their SACD of Learning to Crawl, but thought it sounded great.
I have Learning To Crawl too. It sounds great but the Pretenders II disc sounds like a blanket is covering my speakers while listening. Upon doing some reading, I found out many other people are reporting the same thing.
Listening now to Pretenders II, Hybrid SACD Stereo DR's are 9, 10's, 11's, 12.
Sound wise, yeah I could see it. Does sound a little recessed and dull, just a bit. Still a good listen.
