The only Universal Music SACDs with an official release date are the first 4 from Verve. They are due out on June 4th. They are:
6/4 Diana Krall The Look of Love (SACD) reissue Verve
6/4 Ella Fitzgerald/Louis Armstrong Ella and Louis (SACD) reissue Verve
6/4 John Coltrane A Love Supreme (SACD) reissue Impulse
6/4 Stan Getz/Joao Gilberto Getz/Gilberto (SACD) reissue Verve
In addition, Universal Classical says they plan to release a number of Classical SACDs over the next 12 months. And there are additional SACD titles being planned by Verve and other Universal labels as witnessed by the Universal Music announcement at CES.
You may also want to check the news over on Hi Rez Highway by Ying Tan of Groove Note Records (
http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/hirez/messages/71129.html) that Verve and BMG/Arista are working on SACD titles by Natalie Cole, Alicia Keys and a second Diana Krall SACD.
I'm sure we'll hear more "official news" about the Universal SACDs as June draws closer.
