Check under the mattress .... with the rest of your STASH!

No US outlets for this yet?

OK, so CDJapan just notified me they shipped (DHL) my second order I placed on Thanksgiving Day. Expected delivery date is this Thursday. I had to cancel my original "airmail" order I placed in October.

I’ve just opened my package and went through all the reading material, where the heck does it say the next LP Caravanseri is coming next?! I don’t see it!

Got mine late yesterday (Sunday) DHL; haven’t opened it yet but box in nice shape
CDJapan via DHL usually solid and very quick for me.

In a manner of speech, MM, the corpse [meaning Santana III] isn't even cold and you're already plotting the impending release of Caravanserai!

My question would be, how many of Santana's core albums will eventually have QUAD SACD releases since I've read a few are either double stereo or sound like upmixes!

Indeed the plot thickens but QQ posters who either have ALL the SQ Vinyl and/or Q8s would certainly qualify to discern which Santana QUAD albums will merit the Sony Japan 7" Packaging QUAD SACD reissues!

hey Ralph, its Fred Catero's Quad mixes of 1976's "Amigos" and 1977's "Festival" that are potentially upmixes.

even if they are genuine Quad at the very least they are not the usual mega-discrete CBS style of mixing that's the hallmark of all the other Santana and related Quads.. even Illuminations and Love, Devotion, Surrender have oodles of separation like Abraxas, III, etc.

"Lotus" is the other exception, a Live ambience mix from Japan, not mixed by the Engineers who did the vast majority of Santana Quads (Glen Kolotkin and/or Larry Keyes in the U.S.A.) and as we know Sony Japan released "Lotus" on 7" MCh SACD so i suspect they will also issue "Amigos" & "Festival" in the same format.

I couldn't believe how fast mine arrived from CD Japan (FedEx). I got a shipping notice and it arrived in less than a week. It seemed that I didn't have a choice in shipping though. For a total of $53 it was pretty expensive though, it also included bonus points applied.

Many thanks, Adam. But with Sony Japan's [IMO] superb DSD 256 [QUAD] remastering from the original analogue QUAD master tapes which have been so well preserved, no doubt even Amigos and Festival will possess a clarity and inner detail not extant on either the SQ Matrix LPs nor the Q8s!
