Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs?


I've preordered a few already. I suspect that the recordings, despite remastering, will be far less than what SACD is capable of reproducing. But it is exciting to see a large block of music from major artists come out in the new format, and that's why I'm buying. What do you think the major labels (especially Sony, that controls vast numbers of recordings AND manufactures SACD equipment) are waiting for? Seems logical to me that getting more software out would speed sales of the electronics and interest more of the general public in the new format. Releasing SACDs would also immediately protect the record companies from copyright infringement, at least until someone manufactures an SACD burner.

I just bought (what I think) is a current reissue but nowhere on the packaging does it say "DSD", "SACD", etc.
It's in one of those cardboard type containers (not plastic jewel box). Should I open it or is this some kind of record company scam?
Anyone seen reissues marked "SACD"?

Jschrimpf: Your'e right, I opened the package and there was a "certificate of authenticity" (isn't this getting a little to fancy?). My main system is boxed up (PLEASE see my auction) so can't vouch for sonics but sure sounds like new disk has gain "thru the roof". Could barely turn volume past 8 O'clock (it WAS late). Thanks!
Hmmm. Suffer Grace Slick's ridicule or make 300 million dollars, have fun and make hundreds of thousands happy??? Tough decision Mic...
