I wonder if the new Stones album will be an SA-CD hybrid? SA-CD has superior sound. You need an SA-CD player to take advantage of it. However they have hybrids that are both SA-CD and normal PCM/Regular CD compatible so you can play it on either an SA-CD player or a normal CD player. However if you only have a normal CD player you will not be able to play the SA-CD format. You will hear only the normal PCM layer of the hybrid disk as a regular CD.
I hope their next release is an SA-CD disk (as the remasters were)of some sort. That would be really cool.

live licks is sacd, so guess the new one will be ass well.
the sound of the remasters is indeed great, but if it really makes a difference in new recordings... the quality nowaydays is very good anyway. (sacd or not) |

To make the long story short, the Stones (MJ, KR & CW) made the initial studio sessions last November in France, for the very first time in yeard (decades) Mick and Keith are composing together, normally MJ and KR made a pre-work and then work them out in the studio, now they are composing together!! They will be back in the studio, now in the USA (probably NYC) to finish the album, now RW will be there
Probably they will make a post-production later to kick a tour off early in September.
This will be the first album since 1997 (Bridges to Babylon)
As far as I remember the sessions who gave us the 4 new tracks in "40 Licks" won't give any track to the new album (?)

Live Licks an SACD? That's news to me! BTW, it's not. |

Personally I think they'll only release it on cassette and 8-track cartridges |

Goats Head Soup on SACD would be quite interesting. |

probably if they sign a new deal with another company - as it will give them another excuse to repackage the back catalogue like Virgin did |

By the way - SACD's are dead (so are the competing format - DVD Audio). They are being weaned out of production in favor of two new competing formats - Blue Light (Sony) and HD-DVD. These both have expanded capacity. Sony is elimating its SACD line this year in favor of Blue Light. You'll be hearing lots more about this in the Fall, when a blitz of advertising will be hitting us. They are trying to work out a first candidate for the Sony format - looks like it might be the Beatles catalogue, which hasn't been marketed anew (excepting for last year's Capitol re-packaging) in almost 20 years.
I have a friend who works in the industry - you can trust me on this news. Hold onto your Dylan and Stones SACDs - they will soon be collector's items.

hmmm - i might be wrong about 40 licks. i have looked around the web, and see nothing confirming that it is a hybrid CD release. i do not own it. i assumed it was an sacd, as it was released at the same time as all the hybrid sacd's were, and i just figured that it would be. so snappy mcj - i do not have a link for you, and dont know for sure if it is available as an sacd hybrid. sorry for the confusion...
but i know LL was not released as an SACD. |

Don't forget about DualDisc -- Album on one side, 5.1 on other side plus DVD content. |

SACD nearly took off here. It was getting close, but lack of titles killed it off. Players are too expensive. Same thing happened to Super VHS and Laser disc. None of them caught on here.
Per capita, Australia is the highest uptake of dvd's in the world. We saw the leap from VHS to dvd was so good, we embraced it. We couldnt see the difference between super VHS that would justify spending $1,00 on a new machine, on tapes you couldnt buy anyway.
Dvd will be dead in 5 years, probably. If the major players could agree on a standard, it would be dead and replaced now. This super-bit dvd thing i have seen on the net and in imported Yank hi-fi mags i read, simply is not readily available here in Oz. Again, the difference from standard dvd does not justify spending $1,000 on new equipment.
In fact, raising my fingers to my temples, i will predict this.
15 years from now.
All the major record companies are 1. Sony-Universal-EMI-VIRGIN holdings, or whatever.
They run the lot. Music production. Hardware production. Every 5 years, a new product will be released, incompatable with what preceded it. So, around 2020, we'll have to replace our 22.1 surround version of Sticky Fingers with the 23.1 version, complete with holograph display film clips, interviews, concert footage of songs about/from the album.
By then, i'll be too old to give a shit. |

My mate just recently spent a fortune on a SACD player. Just to play Dark side of the moon. I went there not long ago. It was ok but a bit of a gimmick to be honest. If there was any amazing new detail, i bloody missed it. Stereo is ok with me, though 5.1 is ok. I just prefer 5.1 for dvds.

SA-CD sound quality is really evident if you have decent speakers. Love in Vain is truly exceptional. The sound is very "live" sounding. There is also more warmth in SA-CD. And the seperation of the instruments is fantastic. My friend (who is very hard to impress) put it best by saying it is almost scientific sounding some-how.

doesn't matter how many different formats there are.
more and more dvd players handle every sound & image format there is.
so when you are ready to buy a new cd/dvd player, get the one that has everything on it.
aftefr that no need to think; put in the dvd/cd and it play whatever sound/image is on there. |

Does Blue Light provide better sound quality? Or just more data?
