Bob Dylan SACD Reissues Info

Doug Schiller · 09-16-2003, 03:33 PM

FYI, Circuit City had every one of the new Dylan reissues.
They were all $13.99 except for Blonde on Blonde which was $14.99 (I think Best Buy is selling this for $24.99!)

I love the packaging especially the 2 disc Blonde on Blonde.

I also picked up the Sympathy for the Devil SACD. $4.99 and includes a $3 off of other Stones SACD.

What a glorious day!

Interesting, because the BBuys in Texas do not have Blood on the Tracks, which is the one I really wanted right now.

I got Love and Theft and Bringing it All Back Home.

Can't wait to get home.

I'll be headed out this weekend. I'll get them all eventually. Not sure where I'm going to begin (I'll get one or two to start with). Looking forward to having something hi-rez to pick up each week between now and the end of the year.

Tower is also doing $13.99 for all discs except BoB (14.99).

Best Buy has Blonde on Blonde for $25.99.

Glad to see that Circuit City has it much more reasonably priced.

Has anyone compared the stereo SACD track on the new Blonde on Blonde set to the single-layer SACD? One person on Steve Hoffman's said that the single-layer disc sounded better.

Oh, I bought Bringing It All Back Home yesterday, and the stereo SACD track is fantastic. I listened to the CD layer in the car on the way back from Best Buy, and given that it was only in the car, it sounded good too.

Doug, thanks for the heads-up on CC. I picked up "Slow Train Coming" & "Nashville Skyline" at BB yesterday, but passed on BoB due to the price (I was also disappointed they didn't have "Blood on the Tracks"). So today I popped into CC and grabbed their last copies of BoB AND BotT, and was so excited I had to add "Bringing It All Back Home" & "Love & Theft" to the haul!

I haven't had the time to listen to all of these all the way through, but my initial sampling session was very positive. Everything sounded crisp, clear & immediate. I could close my eyes and see Bob right there in my living room (scary thought, I know

).

Looks like Sony has hit one out of the park with these. Looking forward to hearing other opinions.

Argh! I ordered a bunch of these from Red Trumpet at a discount and they're not hear yet. I want 'em so bad...
