I”m guessing that I am not the only member of the forum that likes to know when new SACD titles are shipping, especially with the way Mobile Fidelity (MFSL, Mofi) and Analogue Productions (AP) announce and release them. So, I figured I’d start a thread.
I noticed this morning at Music Direct (MD) that Joni Mitchell - Ladies of the Canyon is in stock and shipping. The weird thing is it is still listed on Mofi’s website as Coming Soon.
The Jeff Beck with The Jan Hammer Group Live is now available as well.
Also back in stock at MD is the recently released Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water, which initially sold out shortly after it came out.
Acoustic Sounds (AS) has some new titles from AP:
Steely Dan - Gaucho
John Coltrane - Giant Steps (anyone heard this?)
Matchbox Twenty - Yourself Or Someone Like You
Hootie and the Blowfish - Cracked Rear View
Stone Temple Pilots - Core
Both MD and AS sell each other’s SACD’s usually a few weeks after initial release. FWIW MD has free shipping after $49 and AS after $99.
Excellent thread to start! I have noticed that sometimes I have items saved on my wishlist (Mofi, MD and AS) and they get released without getting any notification.
Jeff Beck’s Truth has been restocked at MoFi. I did not see it at Music Direct. I would pick this up sooner than later as it usually goes for $50-60 secondhand and the Audio Fidelity SACD is even more. I believe it’s still limited to 2500 copies.
Just got an email from MoFi that MFSL SACD of Cannonball Adderley’s Somethin’ Else is “Now Shipping”. It’s also in stock at MD. Pretty sure this was already released but sold out quickly. I wonder how it compares to the AP SACD which sounds great IMHO?
While it is not out yet, this title will probably interest a few of us on this forum. Up for preorder. Also on vinyl. Hope they stick with the 12/13 release date.
Actually, when it was originally released there was a missing track and they pulled it. Been about a year on backorder. I finally got shipping status on mine for a Tuesday delivery!
Acoustic Sounds has a couple of new AP SACD’s in stock:
I learned these were available via the Hoffman forum thread about the Atlantic 75th Anniversary SACD’s. It looks like the only way to know they’re available is the New Arrival section of the AS home page.
