BMG's Yourmusic.com

So just for fun.....On Yourmusic.com, try looking up Aimee Mann and then click on the album cover for Bachelor #2 for a new window....Could it be for $4.99?

If you are going to make a statement like that, which is obviously supposition, you have to qualify it. What is your basis for that statement?

Of course, your six-month statement really wasn't necessary since it has nothing to do with the thread subject!

 

Hey isn't that a mobile fidelity release? I really don't think BMG is offering mofi stuff. I would guess you just get the standard cd on that one. Although as pointed out above the
Aimee Man Bach#2 is also listed with the mofi picture. Now that would be cool if it was true!!

 

Oh what the hell, that's a great deal. Thanks for the tip!

 

Yeah, if they really have the MFSL discs, I want to know! I'd much rather pay $5.99 than $26-30 per disc.

 

Dose anyone know if the Elvis '56 disc is the one from 2003 the photo on the list looks like the recent one although in the listing it says released 1996 which is not the one to get. Of course I don't really trust the picture after what I saw with the mofi and look at Miles Davis Kind of Blue,

 

Yourmusic.com shows the MFSL cover for Hot Buttered Soul, but it appears they are actually selling the standard CD. They list it as being on the Stax label with a release date of 1994. There is no mention of it being the hybrid SACD.

It's the same thing with the Aimee Mann title.

 

It had the pictures of the MOFI on it as well as some of the others. Hopefully they will honor that. If not, I will send it back along with a picture from their web site. I would not have bought it if it wasn't a MOFI.

And I made the SACD statement as I work as a distributor for Tower Records and no one is buying the hirez offerings in our stores. NOONE!

We have them pushed back into the back corners now (see Tower Campbell, CA sometime) and they are gathering dust, some have been there for over a year - read DTS mcCartney, Ohio Players, Donald Fagen, etc.

I bought these as they are cheaper than I can buy them for direct wholesale. This along with the recent SONY sale is a partial dumpoff of hi-end product, plain and simple. Even Fry's, who buys everything, is NOT picking up any more HIREZ and the wet dishrag in the face is that MC's future is going to be limited to online sales or niche markets.

Sorry to say that but it's true and I speak as one who has a modified TATE and 2 modified QSD-1's. I love quad and HIREZ in all formats but once again greed has killed the golden goose. Too many unusable formats. People want plug and play M/C, not unusable DVD-A or specialized SACD's. DTS was the easiest to use. Drop in the disc if you have the DVD player and DTS receiver and it played if you had 4 speakers. Otherwise forget it. But it was made too complicated and expensive and hard to learn and to setup.

99% of purchasers don't care and won't bother. We are audiophiles and we won't spend the dough unless we get these bottom-scraping discounts. And still some will complain.

Unfortunately, many cling to the fantasy of a HiRez in every home and DVD-a MC Beatles with mono and stereo. It ain't gonna happen unless you make your own. I have and as Teri Hatcher said in Seinfeld - "They are real and spectacular."

So I'm not waiting for Apple or anyone else. If I like it, I make it myself. Right now I'm listening to a 4 channel discrete DVD-a of the MOODY BLUES "In Search of the Lost Chord." Wonderful!

 

Using the link above, I'm not seeing the $4.99 deal, just the regular $5.99 per disc. Do the prices change after subscribing?

 

Maybe because you're already logged in? I click it and see $4.99, before and after joining.

 

Thanks for the heads up, guys. It looks like a great deal and I subscribed. However, the selection seems pretty dismal. I can't imagine being subscribed very long.

 

It started working all of a sudden without me having to do anything. Thanks, though.

So, has anyone received a Faces box from either BMG Music Club or YourMusic as of late? I know it was on backorder for most of December...

 

Hmm...this is new-

http://www.yourmusic.com/browse/album/60941.html

 

My copy of the Faces box arrived from yourmusic.com just last week, so there must be some still available.

 

Nice!! now there is a good price!!!

 

Please excuse my ignorance, but what are "MC" and/or "M/C"?

The only related information I could find on a Google search was the Philips Streamium MC series PC-based audio system. Is this what you're referring to?

 

MC = multi-channel

The web site is often slow and crashes a bunch for me. However, I found 5 CDs to put on my queue, and I orderd the Sonny Rollins complete Prestige (7 CDs) and Velvet Underground Peel Back & See (5 CDs) box sets for a total of under $65, including tax. That's pretty sweet.

 

They've also added the John Denver Definitive Greatest Hits 2CD set...priced as a single CD...Good deal.

Kwad

 

I'll give it another try then. Thanks Todd.

 

My account at BMG Music Club says that my box was shipped last week so I should be receiving it shortly.

 

If any of you haven't bought a Bill Monroe comp and would like a good one to start with: http://www.yourmusic.com/browse/album/51016.html or for the boxed set http://www.yourmusic.com/browse/album/15480.html Shawn, yourmusic does carry Amy Grant's Christmas CDs for $5.99 plus here's a comp of the cream of the crop (very few essentials to most people missing, most notably "Old Man's Rubble," "Jehovah," "Mountain Top,") of her early Christian recordings: http://www.yourmusic.com/browse/album/20276.html Great sound as well.

 

This site is a great find! As a long time member of the regular BMG club I get a 2 free for life coupon each year but I still have to pay for shipping. Also, I have a file folder full of 3-1 coupons from BMG but yourmusic does not charge for shipping! Most months BMG offer 3-1 anyway so the coupons are worthless. I just wish it was easier to search for just SACDs.
