Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water"- Multichannel SACD - Cancelled

[smokey911]

It seems troubled waters are indeed brewing........shall we start referring to this debacle as BRIDGEGATE? :yikes

I prefer Troubled Watergate

Just getting this over the finish line (and into my mailbox) will be a huge relief.

extracting multi-channel from the music industry is a game of inches

I found the same email in my spam box!

But if you click on the product link on the email it goes to Page Not Found! If it turns out having had the Quad layer removed I'll cancel as that's all I'm interested in, nice album, but I already have it on vinyl and CD in stereo.

Somebody from cdJapan must be watching this thread....I just mentioned that I thought the date was changed on my order from Nov 1st to Nov 8th...well I just received an email from cdJapan and it said..."we have just received an UPDATE from the distributor...the release date has been changed from Nov 1st to Nov 8th".....to me that is good news and explains the removal of the item description...it also makes me feel better to know that I didn't just imagine the date change...

This is a real shame as this great album would have been wonderful in surround sound.

Disappointing as this news is (and it really is) I am at least glad that within twenty minutes of receiving that same email I received a refund via PayPal. I was a bit worried about a headache I'd/when this release fell through. In fact, several weeks ago I emailed them asking if I could cancel the order if there was no quad later. Their response was brief but revealed the sender's own frustration at the confusion over the title. They intimated they were completely in the dark and that this wasn't normal operating procedure.

I could have ordered it from Michael Robin when I had the chance
Bloody Kids take up all the money I could have wasted

A question for those in the know, is the track 'The Sound Of Silence' available in multi-channel anywhere?

 

[ar surround]

Got the cancellation email also. And the labels and artists wonder why disenchanted people seek out the quads from dubious sources? I personally do not, but it is frustrating when something like this cancellation happens.

No.

It seems ironic that CDJapan sent out this last night. Why? Because yesterday morning, I decided to email them again and basically told them a lot of folks have been waiting a long time and have already spent the money. I told them I wanted them to refund money if the disc is not coming. And...look what happened.

 

[John Svensson]

So, it was Gene's fault that it was cancelled!

It certainly looks that way doesn't it!

Yep...I learned a long time ago....there are 3 things you don't do....don't tug on Superman's Cape....don't eat the yellow snow...and don't mess with Gene's orders:couch

So Gene, how does it feel to have attained the lofty position of "Most Influential QuadraphonicQuad Member?"
