I just got an order from BMG for the Carpenters, Singles SACD. The case and packaging says SACD, but inside is just a regular redbook CD. Has anything like this happened to anyone else? Is going to be nightmare to get BMG to replace the wrong disc?

Thanks for the link. I had forgotten that thread at stevehoffam.tv. I just hope I can get the correct version now from BMG. Does anyone have experience with their customer service department?

I got the same deal from yourmusic.com.

Apparently, they have finally realized their stock of Carpenter's SACDs are defective and have removed them from the web site. Here's the email they sent me.

Thanks for the info Tom. Since yourmusic.com is part of BMG, I assume I will be getting a similar email from them. That really sucks. I was really looking forward to this SACD and I had taken advantage of a $4.99 per disc sale.
