I too hope that Universal will review their policy for SACD and release multichannel SACDs again globally.

Perhaps when Wish You Were Here explodes onto the SACD market with unprecedented sales figures other Record companies will realize that there is indeed a credible market and support for Multi~channel and hybrid titles.

I'm a multichannel fanatic and am tired of the schizophrenia in the 5.1 market with DD and DTS 96/24 (lossy) titles STILL being released regularly in 2011 and the impending threat of BD Audio (i.e. The New Steve Wilson Disc "Grace For Drowning" is debuting as a 5.1/stereo 96/24 BD release).

And to reiterate some of the above posts: Queen's " A Night @ The Opera" and "The Game" were SUPERLATIVE 5.1 DVD~As and were initially a fraction of the cost of the upcoming Stereo only SHM~SACDs.

Thanks for the updated status. I definitely want to know your thoughts on them. Hopefully they make an excellent Christmas present for you! I treated myself to some SACDs for the holidays and am very much looking forward to Saturday. Not quite sure why I'm waiting. Perhaps a lingering concern of upsetting the parental units.

Sadly no -- they're SHM-SACDs.

They arrived!!!!| and they are very very good!!! I have not a professional player, but I can clearly hear a big dynamic difference between european CD remasters and these SACDs.... They were all worth it! Especially first 2 albums!!

I have everything Queen did on CD but surely none of it was recorded in anything but RB 44/16 so difficult to see how it could be made better.
