I have lived in Singapore and can confirm you don't find counterfeit music or movies in the shops or on markets.

Thanks!

This is on Photobucket.

Plus I also just threw the disk into my Computer's DVD-ROM drive just to see the CD-Audio tracks and yes, I do only see 7 tracks. The track I thought was track 8 was Weinberger's Shwanda The Bagpiper: Opera Polka and Fugue, which I knew from one of the Reference Recording CD's.

I will try it again in my Philips SACD player later and post what happens. Could have been my flu medicine acting up.

Buyers may be fond of the performance/ orchestra/ conductor but in the final analysis when buying

Living Stereo discs you are getting only two channel. Caveat Emptor.

....except when you get three channels!

As in the Dvorak 9 above. Look at the picture in message 12 - it tells you some LS have L, R, and centre.

They were my reintroduction to SACD as well as my (late in life) introduction to classical music. Since I only listen to stereo I really don't care if they are 2, 3, 4 or 5 channels. I'm getting the impression, though, that some here believe that are being sold deceptively as 5 channel. The packaging is very clear. Obviously they didn't record in 5 channels in the 1950s and early 1960s.

Agree BUT IT ALSO SAYS SURROUND. Why didnt it say multichannel to avoid the confusion.To me in English their is a clear distinction..ie IMO its deliberatly misleading.Still if they are producing extra tracks without listing them , then I suppose they could put "Hidden" extra rear channels on.lol.
