Billy Joel 52nd Street Japan Hybrid SACD edition from CD Japan. When I purchased the ******* Brew 2 disc SACD I opted for airmail with tracking and it took just over two weeks to arrive complete with customs and collection charges to pay, so this time I tried airmail with no tracking, it was despatched last Thursday and I received it today (Tuesday) and No customs or collection charges to pay

I like weird discs Adam, is this fun to listen to? I see it is available in SACD more expensive and DVD-A less expensive. Your recommendation?

Satin Doll - Kimiko Kasai with Gil Evans Orchestra (Hybrid MultiCh SACD)

many thanks to QQ member BeoProf for the scoop on this one

just a couple of quick things to say about this disc..

1.) haven't had a chance to run it through the computeramabob yet but from what I could make out the SACD channels may be mapped out as 4-channel FL/FR/SL/SR with seemingly no faux Centre or any of that 'jazz' (how much of a problem this may cause some people's AVRs/Processors/DACs/Player setups I don't know),
2.) the surround mix is pretty nice, akin to the CBS U.S. earlier style, very discrete with regard to front-back separation, with distinct stuff happening in the Rears (with quite a bit of silence back there too.. accompanied by a bit of tape hiss.. a good sign I guess!) and lead vocal seemingly all upfront, it doesn't appear to do anything flashy or daft that I could discern but it is far from just an ambient mix (as I rather feared it might be),
3.) musically its rather nice.. the arrangements are top notch (it almost goes without saying!).. the vocals are like "Marmite" (you're either gonna love 'em or hate 'em!).. will post back when i've had time to play it properly and then 'rip' it apart
