  • Universal Music Japan to reissue 50 SHM-SACDs at 'Encore' reduced price

    From Oscar@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 8 14:53:14 2022
    First pressed as non-hybrid, single-layer SACDs in 2011 and priced at JPY¥4,500. Issued in paper mini-LP sleeves w/ obi strip. Very desirable, and the masterings were superb. Release date is next month, November 2022. According to the machine
    translation below, the reissues will use jewel cases instead of paper mini-LP jackets.

    In August 2011, the originals had a list price of over US$50. Original mini-LP titles trade on Discogs for $60 and up now. At today's exchange rate the reissue prices are $19.26.

    Regretfully, I do not have a list of the 50 titles. Here are three. Look for the rest if you are interested.

    Don't you have Alice Sara Ott CDs to listen to or something?

    Nope. I am too busy demagnetizing things! ;-)
