New Police remasters/SACD....


Venturing into a local shop...I noticed the new Police releases...however...only the "everybreath u take" comp had an SACD sticker on it...are the other albums SACD as well? and are they not noted on the outside packaging like the stones releases?

"Everybreath You Take" is a hybrid SACD, while the other titles are SACD only. It would be nice if the record companies would do a better job on labeling these discs. My brother-in-law saw the Rolling Stones SACDs in the store, but did not know for sure if they were, since the outside cover made no mention of the fact. Apparently, the companies are leaving it up to the consumer to know if they are or not. Not a good idea on a new format. Plan on picking up a few of the titles myself. Really looking forward though for "Dark Side of the Moon" at the end of the month.
An update on my previous reply. Cbucki is correct. I went to Best Buy to purchase some to the Police only to find out that the original albums (not EBYT) has been re-released in both SACD and "remastered" formats. The SACD versions are stated such and also have the new round corner jewel cases.
Also found out the DSOTM has been moved to an April 1 release. Hope this doesn't turn into a joke.
