Great news, thanks for the heads up!

This is actually the title I had hoped for, when they released the other Mr Big. I honestly can't believe we now have 2 titles from Mr Big in SACD surround. Whoduhthunk?

Thanks for the heads up, ordered.

This is one I'll have to get, my favourite Mr. Big album - curiously not up on the Evo88 website yet

Yeah, I'll be ordering from Evo88, once it shows since I have an account there already.

Hopefully Evo has their act together this time after the earlier Bob James fiasco

Same. While I like the second album a lot, the first was always my favorite. Happy to see this available.

Wonder if this will turn into an IAA download, too.

What fiasco?

I believe it's this one (announced as MC, turned out to be stereo only eventually):

Right, I forgot about that one.

Pretty sure this is for real though - I had the opportunity to speak with Michael Romanowski at the 'MixNYC' conference back in August (he mastered the Lean Into It SACD) and he mentioned there were plans for more Mr. Big in surround.

Unless it's some kind of a prank...

I know, last band I would have guessed. Maybe IAA will have an Atmos version?
As a SF Bay Area boy, if we can have Mr. Big, than we most certainly need Tesla.

I wouldn't mind a healthy dose of Edison's medicine, too.

I thought that the vocals were too hot in the last one and the rears too weak. Still I want this release for sure, it's a much better album then "Lean Into It" and so a must have on that basis alone. I do have the stereo LP.

I tried to pre-order on that Japanese site and was able to create an account no problem but got hung up in the payment portion. I'll have to wait until someone else like Evo88 (mentioned by GOS) has it listed!

Cheers Haiku...
I usually wait for Amazon JP to come up with the goods....
A lot less hassle for me in the UK
Bought the recent 3 Santana SACD quads from them.

I’m hoping CDJapan carries it. (Nothing so far.) Always happy with their service and quick shipping.

Great news…. And I don’t want to sound ungrateful but PLEASE let’s have the rhythm guitars at a proper level this time!!
