Joe,
Both yesasia.com and malmusic.com are very reliable; I've been ordering from them for years. Sensasian.com is a new one for me, but they came through with the "Sam Hui Champion Hits" 2 CD set. This title has a total of 47 songs, but it left out songs from Sam Hui's years on Contec Sound Media and Cinepoly (basically 1983-89). What's so special about this set is that it contains some movie songs and uptempo/rock hits. which are missing of the 2 compilation SACDs. The DSD remastering is great, showing off what can be done to recordings from 30 years ago. As for the "4-in-1" set that you linked, it's actually a reissued (and repackaged) set of the original Denon-pressed/Sonic Solution-processed 4 gold CD set. These are OK.
As for Sam Hui movies, I have not seen one in sooooo long. However, Sam Hui's 1987 concert was reissued on DVD recently....remastered in Dolby Digital and dts. The picture quality is just like my laserdisc....bad. And this one was edited....cutting out the monologue by Michael Hui.

San Mateo, California Tower Records.
Here's the link to Tower's website. "Low stock"....2 or less in its inventory.
Also, Billy Joel's "The Stranger" is no longer available directly from Sony. Looks like an OOP title now. |

I just got Iron Maden's Dance of Death on DVD-A from amazon.co.uk. I haven't listened to it yet.
Other than that, nothing. My local BB used to carry everything as it came in. Now the section's getting more and more anorexic. There just aren't as many hires titles as I hoped there would be by now.
Put it this way - Sony released Journey's Escape on SACD. Cool. Ok..um, where's the rest of the catalog? Billy Joel? No more Queen DVD-A? Pink Floyd? Where is this stuff? Is someone at least working on it? I'm starting to get mildy frustrated. The only thing I care about with DualDisc is NIN.
Mike

No Paul.
This is the 1st time I've owned "Bat Out Of Hell" in any format.

Billy Joel - "The Stranger" (stereo/multi-channel)
As I mentioned in my previous post, no longer available directly from sonymusic.com/sacd. I got this from my local Best Buy. Last copy.
BTW, sonymusic.com is having a sale on its SACD....almost all titles are $13.99 with no shipping for orders over $25.00.
Observation of new SACD titles at my local Best Buy....no one has pick up the Cheryl Crow or Vince Gill SACDs. A lot of Lionel Richie discs too.

You are welcome, Joe 
Personally, the 2 SACD Aerosmith "O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits" set for $19.98 is a steal. Heck, it's actually cheaper than the CD. |

Thx for the possibly-OOP heads-up on The Stranger, Danny. My list of desired SACDs is long and I guess I'll now need to start factoring into the what-to-buy-next calculus that some early Sony (single layer?) titles are perhaps going OOP.
One would think that Sony would want to keep one of its own SACDs of a seminal title in circulation on hybrid SACD and no longer press CDs of it . . .

Paul,
Sony did start releasing some its seminal titles on hybrid SACDs. According to Stephen, the owner of sa-cd.net, the following Sony titles have been released as hybrid SACDs....
Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
Toto: Toto IV
Destiny's Child: Survivor
Jeff Beck: Blow by Blow
And I will add to the list Dave Brubeck's "Time Out", which I purchased in Hong Kong this past June. However, it's possible that the royalties issue is keep these from being released in the US. The Beyonce multi-channel hybrid SACD, "Dangerouly In Love", was pulled from US release officially because of royalties.
Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell", in either stereo or multi-channel version, is gone already. |

From today's Daily Variety:
"Flicks Tops Music Kudos"
by Phil Gallo
The Rolling Stones' "Four Flicks" picked up three trophies at the third annual Surround Music Awards held Tuesday at the Highlands nightclub.
TGA's "Four Flicks," shot in Europe during their 2003 tour, received awards for best in show, concert video and additional features. Warner Bros.' "Concert for George" received nods for broadcast multichannel live performance and standard resolution title.
"XXL" by Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band (Silverline Records), and "October" by Larry Chernicoff (Windy Planet Music), nabbed Best Made For Surround Title honors. Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" (Universal/UME/Chronicles) was named Best Multichannel Reissue.
