"Santana" SACD out in September from Sony Japan (!)

[Clint Eastwood]

Amazon US is still showing Oct 2 for this release. I’m hoping that ImportCDs is the same date and they don’t dilly dally. My concern is that this kind of mail gets put on the back burner because the USPS is buried with absentee ballots. (Oh, I’m such a patriot...more concerned about getting quad discs than a presidential election. )

At least you have your priorities right and I'm serious...but when you mention dilly dally in a post...now that gets my attention...perhaps the forum expert on these matters should weigh in....the one and only Dillydipper

Wow! Probably the best recording I’ve ever heard. My speakers seem alive. It was like hearing the album in a new way. Love it, and I can’t wait for Abraxas!

ImportCDs is showing this title as "Back Order" now.
Did any here who Pre-Ordered via ImportCDs get their copy, or at least a shipped notice?

I received my copy via CDJapan, but I am wondering if ImportCDs will also be a reliable "Pre-Order" source for future releases.

I only use them if they have something in stock and it's a deal I can't refuse. Example Soundgardens BADMOTORFINGER Box set for $88 shipped

Amazon.com is reporting "temporarily out of stock." Amazon UK says release date is October 16. I have heard nothing about my order from ImportCD's.

That's why CDJapan is KING ....mine got delivered early last week

BTW, CDJapan is offering a 500 yen off coupon from October 2~8 on orders over 5000 yen if you apply coupon code LOYAL500C10 to your final order. Helps defray the DHL s/h from Japan.

Worked for me.

I ordered from Importcd on Sept 11. No shipping email yet. While they show out of stock the message also says new inventory coming soon and this is the first day of release for them. I'm sure we will get our copies just later than others.
Im simply buying too many new releases to splurge an extra $20 for shipping to get them sooner.........obviously if importcd fails to deliver this will change.

I totally agree that the $20 DHL s/h fee from CDJapan is pretty outrageous and I am a FREQUENT ImportCD customer, but in the last two weeks, CDJapan afforded me an extra 800 bonus points/coupons and coupled with my existing bonus points cut that DHL s/h in half so went ahead and ordered ABRAXAS and a Classical SHM~SACD from them [2800y] so my shipped order via DHL came to $80US.

ImportCD does charge additional s/h charges on all orders + local sales tax [mine is 8 3/4%] and their Japanese discs usually have a 2~4 week lag time behind CDJapan so I said What the Hell?

So 4ears does this mean if I order Abraxas from CDJapan now I will get it while I am still waiting for the first Santana from importcd?

I couldn't have said it better, MM!

And Jeff, I'm one who despises SALES TAX and love free s/h but sometimes you just gotta say, WTF!

That's if those POLICE multitracks didn't end up conflagrated in Universal's 2008 fire!
