My first Rhino title was a pre-recorded DAT tape called "Steal Dis Dat" and was priced at $2.00; it had some wonderful tracks on it from bands I've never heard from again.
Ryko, Not Rhino. $2? I must have overpaid. Here's mine...

Well that's probably because your DAT player ain't no longer hooked up and working, eh?!!! (I'm just joking, of course.) :yikes
Hard to believe they ever had pre-recorded DAT tapes. I guess it doesn't surprise me, but I thought maybe they were all just blanks. fwiw, My very first stereo receiver was a Pioneer and it has a menu button for "DAT", somewhat surprisingly. Well... technically, I think it was a "DAT/AUX" button (or was it a "DAT/CD", "DAT/Tape2", etc button? I forget.)
Cool stuff!
And I don't suppose any of the DAT decks had an optical/coaxial digital output? What I mean is... Seeing as how DTS tried using DAT tapes for the movie theater's surround sound, if I understood you correctly, it makes me wonder if someone could theoretically have transferred---using a home DAT recorder/player---a CD of one of those DTS-encoded "5.1 Music Discs" to DAT and have it play back the 5.1 correctly? Hmmm... or would a typical home DAT recorder have been too inaccurate; thus, one of those professional, high-speed industrial duplicators would perhaps be needed, instead?
Granted, there'd be no point to it nowadays with CD Recorders and modern digital music files stored computer hard drives. It was just a curious thought.
Has anyone else had any trouble ordering from HMV Japan? I have all of the info in but it won't let me complete the order? I've never had this trouble with any other site. I emailed them but they are no help. Of course there is no phone # to straighten things out.
Frustrating. :howl
BTW; Shipping to the US for 1 disc is $14.84 (ouch)

I tried ordering the two Tomita discs last week from HMV Japan. Everything went fine until I entered credit number. I could not get past this stage even after multiple tries. I gave up. Will try Amazon this week.Has anyone else had any trouble ordering from HMV Japan? I have all of the info in but it won't let me complete the order? I've never had this trouble with any other site.

A story at one of my favorite sites - The Second Disc:

This is all fantastic news, but I really wish they'd come out with something new. Thriller in 5.1 maybe? Hopefully though, this will rope in some new blood into the world of surround.
This is the key. Releasing old DVD-A material on SACD is only something that the SACD fanboys can gloat about. The real meat would be if the unreleased titles got released on SACD. Now, THAT, would be amazingly great.
