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.

Mejames-DSOM is 30 this month and is released on SACD.
However I don't believe at this stage there are any other Floyd releases planned for SACD

"Every Breath..." is a hybrid SACD. The rest were released in separate SACD and remastered CD formats.
These SACD's set the standard for quality in the "Popular" genre. Only James Taylor's efforts can compare. The first two ("Outlandos" and "Regatta") are awe-inspiring. Universal did a phenomenal job with these. They actually put-them-out on the scheduled release date as well....
