SACDs $11.00 at SonyMusicStore

Don't forget the SHOPVISA code which gives you an additional 15% discount if you use your VISA card.

 

Byrds - Excellent. Get the guest-oriented Bennett SACD, I think it's called Playin' With My Friends? Awesome.

 

You're welcome. I've used the various Sony Music Store sales to get many of the available Miles Davis SACDs.

If fact, in the last 8 weeks or so I've purchased about $350 worth of SACDs using the various sale codes.

 

Great there went 40 bucks I don't have. heheh thanks guys.

Aerosmith
Toys In The Attic 1CS57362 SACD $9.33 1 0

At Folsom Prison 1CS65955 SACD $9.33 1 0
Billy Joel
An Innocent Man 1CS69389 SACD $9.33 1 0
The Byrds
Greatest Hits 1CS66230 SACD $9.33 1 0

 

And 20% off with an Amex card and corresponding code through the rest of 2004. SACD's end up costing $8.78 each!

 

It seems that the Sony Music Store web site does not have a list of all SACDs available. You have to search by artist. Is that correct?

EDIT: Nevermind. I just did a search for "SACD" (a la BMG's web site), and 229 titles came up. For many of the titles, the CD is shown, but the SACD is listed in small text as "also available."

 

What's the AMEX code??? (Sorry if I missed it)

 

SHOPAMEX

 

Hey thanks for the tip!

I got Byrds, O'jays, Earth Wind & Fire and Blood Sweat & Tears for less than 40 bucks!

 

Just tried Shopamex and it doesn't seem to work.

 

I thought the code was SHOPAMEX, although if it doesn't work I must be mistaken. I apologize. Ly last onder on Dec. 23 I used the SHOPVISA code since I don't have an American Express card.

 

Maybe lv70smusic can tell us what the code is for 20% off

 

If you have a MBNA card they'll switch it over to a AMEX card for you. MBNA offers AMEX cards now.

 

try SAVEAMEX

I got the Byrds Greatest Hits last month and was not that impressed as compared to last CD remaster and the studio albums. IMHO the CD's were clearer.
"Ultimate Tony Benett" is very good. Much better than the last CD remaster. It sounds like they went back another few generations for the master - especially for the olders stuff. Fabulous music.

 

Yikes! My credit cards are smokin' this holiday season! Please, PLEASE don't post any more threads about great prices and hot sales! I can't take any more!

Looks like
Carole King - Tapestry
Tony Bennett - The Ultimate Tony Bennett
and Earth, Wind & Fire - Gratitude
SACD's for me!!

 

Yes, the code is SAVEAMEX and it must be used in conjunction with an American Express card to work.

 

Interesting. I have both the Greatest Hits remastered CD and SACD and have not compared them. I always assumed that the remastered CD was made from the same DSD master used for the SACD.

 

I was surprised when I compared them, because every Sony SACD that I'd previously compared to the latest remaster were always slightly to much better than the last CD version (except "Lady in Satin").
Please compare them if you get a chance (and tell me if I need to listen to both once again...)

 

Will do. With regards to Lady in Satin, were you listening to the original stereo-only SACD or the stereo track off the multi-channel disc? I haven't heard either one yet, but it's been well documented that there is some sort of an EQ problem on the stereo-only disc. This was supposedly fixed on the multi-channel disc.

 

you can just search for "sacd" then you get the whole list. though they show the cd versions, there is small print in the description "also avail on sacd". you need to click that to get the sacd "buy" link.

 

I don't know if you were replying to the initial confusion I expressed in an earlier post, but I edited that post to reflect the SACD search and "Also available: SACD" option. When I first clicked onto the Sony site, I was looking for an SACD link in the red area to the left. That would have made things easy.
