towerrecords.com has 23 Stones CDs for $9.99. I ordered ten remasters. They were delivered in three days, not bad. Free shipping! |

Anyone have any idea what is going on; that is, why Tower is selling these so cheaply? Is there another remaster in the offing? Are they fading these out due to lack of demand? |

Well, I guess Tower Recs didn't participate in the Stones ban like other crappy chains. |

Tower has a return policy from HELL. |
|
|
| glencar |
Yeah but who'd return the Stones? |

I know Best Buy (in my area) is fazing out sale of SACD players. This may directly/negatively affect the demand for SACDs. Hence, the markdown of SACDs! |
|

Maybe not, FG. BB is going downmarket. SACD players are presumably for those who have dough. |
|
|
| Factory Girl |
Good point, glencar. But that would eliminate 80% of the market. |

Glencar, I returned Metamorphosis SACD unopened. Tower makes returns (with receipt) very hellish. |

Why not have a sale on the Stones? What else is there to buy?
Roofus Doofus?
Hot Jamz?
Cleetus Atkins?
Wrestling soundtracks?
I bought two remasters and skipped out the door. 9.99 is my favorite price, especially when it's Stones remasters. |

Tower Records is close to bankruptcy because of Internet competition. |

just out of curiousity, why unopened? because the first half is unbearable or what? side 2 is good! |

beer, I have Met on vinyl. Some songs are very good (JS Fanny, for ex). But really, its a cd comp. of outtakes.
I reconsidered having MET on SACD. |

It seems that Tower has a lot of DVD Audio, and not as much SACD audio. Is it possible that the format war is being decided and SACD is losing, so Tower is dumping the SACDs? I really have no idea whether this is the case, but it does seem odd that the SACDs are being sold for such a cheap price. |

this is the same deal best buy offered when we preordered them...
time to pick up some more, and fill in those holes....
asked it before, i'll ask it again...
when are Sticky Fingers - Tattoo You getting the SACD treatment..?
_____
I also wonder when will mickboy take on Emotional Rescue..? that needs to be done, too.
_____
jpenn - SACD is NOT losing the format war, Tower is losing the brick and mortar war, and this is likely a high profile way for them to make their cyberstore known...

This is awesome! I ordered most of the rest I need except Satanic Majesties! I have my own "remaster" of that - the only thing on it is KISS doing 2000 Man! |

So SACD will be around for awhile? I don't want to spend money on another Betamax. Been there done that. |
|

>>> So SACD will be around for awhile?
yes.
it is the DVD format you have to worry about... |
|

| glencar |
Wha wha what? |

This is confusing me now. I can't see any of them taking over from CDs anyhow. People just aren't bothered enough about the relatively small increase in fidelity to buy their record collections yet again. |
|

| Factory Girl |
Why do we have to worry about the dvd format becoming obsolete? |
|
|
| Gimme Shelter |
I just ordered them all. |
