HDCD, any new titles coming out?

If your into acoustic guitar and mandolin, just about every cd on Dave Grisman's acousticdisc.com is hdcd, for about $13 each.

Not all the Dick's Picks are HDCD. Later in the series they started releasing HDCD recordings. Keep in mind these were live soundbard shows for the most part taken from reel to reel mixes and not the best example of what hdcd can do. As a Deadhead I can say they sound way better than the non-HDCD Dick's Picks releases as well as the 150+ live shows I have in my archives.

Here's one for you and it's an incredible CD: Brian Wilson's "Smile". Well worth the wait.

Is this format, HDCD, still something that artists, record labels, recording engineers want to use? Whose choice is it to use it on a recording?

Kinda late joining this discussion, but here goes....

In response to Gardengirl's response on 09/03/04, Hong Kong Universal is not a HDCD proponent. I am betting that the CDs you have purchased are from mainland China, where everything is "tagged" with HDCD, whether it is HDCD-encoded or not. I am very suspicious of any recordings manufactured and released in China.
